Services
Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression Therapy targets herniated and degenerative discs through computer-controlled traction. This non-surgical treatment creates negative disc pressure to rehydrate spinal discs and relieve nerve compression. Patients experience reduced pain and improved mobility through targeted angulated elongation techniques that focus on specific spinal segments without brute force.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Advanced chiropractic techniques correct vertebral subluxations using precision manual adjustments. This restores proper nerve function and alleviates pain caused by misaligned vertebrae. The treatment addresses trauma-induced misalignments from accidents or repetitive stress while improving range of motion and circulatory function without pharmaceutical intervention.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy utilizes photon energy to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-thermal treatment effectively addresses chronic pain, nerve damage, and soft tissue injuries by enhancing the body's natural healing processes. Unlike surgical lasers, this modality promotes recovery without tissue damage through targeted light energy application.
Auto Injury Care
Specialized post-accident care combines chiropractic and massage therapy for whiplash injuries. Treatment begins within six weeks of collision to optimize soft tissue recovery. We work directly with auto insurance policies for PIP benefits, providing comprehensive documentation for potential legal cases while focusing on restoring full functionality without surgical intervention.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutritional programs complement chiropractic care through targeted supplementation and dietary recommendations. This service addresses individual health needs to support spinal recovery and overall wellness. Guidance focuses on anti-inflammatory nutrition strategies that enhance the body's natural healing capacity during decompression and adjustment treatments.

Questions
What conditions qualify for spinal decompression therapy?
Herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease qualify if symptoms persist over four weeks. Recent fractures or severe osteoporosis disqualify patients.
How long does decompression treatment take?
Treatment protocols span six weeks with sessions lasting 30-45 minutes. Patients attend daily for two weeks, then reduce frequency gradually over the treatment period.
Is chiropractic care safe after back surgery?
Spinal decompression can treat post-surgical patients in most cases. Many patients find relief after failed back surgery through non-invasive decompression techniques combined with targeted chiropractic adjustments.
What payment options are available?
We accept major insurance plans and auto PIP benefits. Payment plans available for out-of-pocket expenses. No financing options currently offered for treatment packages.
How does decompression differ from traction?
Decompression creates negative disc pressure (-150 to -200 mmHg) compared to traction's limited effectiveness (+30 mmHg). Computer-controlled oscillation prevents muscle spasms while targeting specific spinal segments for disc rehydration.
