Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring proper spinal alignment and nervous system function. Using diversified and Cox flexion-distraction techniques, we address musculoskeletal pain and improve overall body mechanics. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans that may include manual adjustments, instrument-assisted techniques, and therapeutic exercises to enhance mobility and reduce pain.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS robotic laser therapy provides non-invasive pain relief and accelerated healing for various conditions. This advanced technology uses specific wavelengths to reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and alleviate chronic pain. Patients experience improved circulation and faster recovery times without medication or surgery, particularly effective for joint and soft tissue injuries.
Functional Neurology
Our functional neurology approach addresses complex neurological conditions through comprehensive assessment and targeted interventions. Utilizing video-oculography and balance assessments, we develop customized treatment plans to improve brain-body communication. This specialized care benefits patients with balance disorders, migraines, and post-concussion syndrome through non-pharmaceutical interventions.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine at RightSPINE focuses on identifying and addressing root causes of chronic disease. Through detailed metabolic and genetic assessments, we create personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans. This science-based approach treats hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and autoimmune conditions by restoring physiological balance and enhancing organ reserve.
Motion Guidance
Our motion guidance system uses JTech Tracker technology to assess and improve joint mobility and muscle function. Real-time feedback helps patients understand their movement patterns and correct biomechanical inefficiencies. This evidence-based approach enhances rehabilitation outcomes and prevents future injuries through precise, goal-oriented treatment planning.

Report
Dr. Friedman is a miracle worker, seriously though! I've been dealing with back pain my whole adult life and have visited various specialists and medical professionals without ever reaching a solution. It only took Dr. Friedman 10 minutes into our first appointment to identify the issue and immediately provide relief. Since then, he has developed and implemented a plan to tackle my back pain and so far, it has worked tremendously! I am so thankful for Dr. Friedman and his awesome team. If you're looking for results, professionalism, and a place that will make you feel welcome, go to RightSPINE Chiropractic+.

Report
Dr. Friedman does it again. About a month ago I pulled out my back so severely that I had to take time off from work and was in pain 24/7. After multiple visits using all of his therapies (manipulation, ultrasound, EMS and MLS laser) I can honestly say I am on day 8 of being 100% pain free. Everyone at the office is caring, kind and will bend over backwards to help you. I can honestly recommend Right Spine for all your health and wellness needs (and they don't just do backs, the laser therapy healed my plantar fasciitis about a year ago)

I reached out to Dr. Friedman when I strained my lower back. I had been in pain for weeks before I finally accepted that I needed to see someone - three weeks of care and I'm feeling brand new! Dr. Friedman was attentive and alleviated the pain almost immediately. He's friendly, knowledgable and professional. He, along with his staff, were very flexible - even offering to see me on off times/days to be sure I didn't go in pain. I highly recommend RightSPINE to anyone in need of chiropractic care!

I first went to Dr Friedman for back pain from trying to lift something too heavy. Within 3 weeks of excellent treatment my back felt back to normal. I also had Laser therapy treatment right after surgery for a torn rotator cuff. When I went for my first physical therapy appt. 2 weeks after surgery they told me I was already ahead of where I should be at 6 weeks. The Laser therapy clearly worked for me! Dr Friedman is extremely knowledgeable in his treatments!

Couldn't recommend Dr. Friedman and the RightSpine team more, i went in for pain in my upper back that had lingered for a few months after i strained it. He immediately laid out what we could do and got to work. After a couple of months of visiting, the initial pain has disappeared and i've seen many other improvements in my day to day. On top of that Dr. F and team are genuinely great to work with, quick, easy, prompt and efficient all around.

Not all herniated disk need surgery sometimes a really good chiropractor is all that is needed and Dr. Friedman is the best. Ive been in so much pain for weeks from a herniated a disk, i thought surgery was the only solution until Dr. Friedman started helping me out. My pain went from a 10 to a 2 on the same day Thank you so much
