Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our Gonstead Technique adjustments precisely realign the spine to relieve nerve compression, reduce pain, and restore optimal function. This method delivers lasting results through individualized, gentle corrections tailored to each patient's anatomy.
Dry Needling
Targeting muscle tension and trigger points, dry needling promotes rapid pain relief and improved mobility. This technique complements chiropractic adjustments by addressing soft tissue imbalances contributing to discomfort.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy uses controlled water temperature and pressure to reduce inflammation, soothe sore muscles, and enhance circulation. It's an effective adjunct to chiropractic care for accelerating recovery from musculoskeletal conditions.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Taping provides muscular and joint support while maintaining full range of motion. This elastic therapeutic tape helps manage pain, reduce swelling, and stabilize injured areas between chiropractic sessions.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy delivers targeted sound waves to deep tissues, promoting healing through increased blood flow and reduced inflammation. It effectively addresses chronic pain and soft tissue injuries alongside spinal adjustments.

Report
June of 2019 my sciatic nerve pain was so severe I couldn't sit, stand, lay down or walk without severe pain. Dr Max took X-rays and showed me where the problem was and told me in 5 days he'd have me goin again. 4 days later I was walking and functioning like normal. I went back once a month until he moved on and have never felt better. Dr Max is an amazing chiropractor and I'm extremely saddened that he's no longer at Eriksen's. They lost a talented young man.

I first saw Dr. Max with severe back and leg pain. I previously had seen another chiropractor and my primary care Dr. with no answers. Dr. Max took x-rays and started treating me. After a few visits I had improvement but then the Covid shutdowns happened. My condition deteriorated during the shutdown. Dr. Max would text me to encourage me. He promised that once the shutdown ended, he would figure everything out.
Once he was opened again, he ordered an MRI. This revealed I had cancer cells in my femur. Dr. Max gave my wife and I the news in a very compassionate way. I soon started radiation, chemo and immunotherapy. Dr. Max has encouraged me thru it all. He is much more than a Dr. to me. He is my friend. In my opinion, Dr. Max saved my life. That is not an exaggeration. If you need excellent medical care, there is nobody better than Dr. Max. I will forever be grateful to him and his wonderful staff.

I went to the chiropractor for severe neck and upper back pain. Dr. Max was able to provide an answer and solution to my problems. Also most importantly treated me like a person instead of a condition. After a series of adjustments over a course of 10 days, my issues were resolved. I wish I knew about Dr. Max and his facility way sooner. This is the place to be if you want to get your health back. Dr. Max is a wizard at adjusting and very gentle. He explains every step of the way what is going on. I learned more in one visit about my body than all my years in school. This is the best chiropractor facility in Kentucky hands down!
