Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments and specialized techniques. Using methods like Diversified, Activator, and Thompson approaches, we treat neck/back pain, headaches, and joint issues while improving nervous system function. Patients benefit from customized treatment plans that may include spinal decompression for disc-related problems. This non-invasive approach helps restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall wellness for individuals seeking natural pain relief solutions.
Massage Therapy
Our licensed therapists provide targeted massage treatments for pain management and recovery. Specialized techniques include deep tissue work for chronic tension, myofascial release for mobility improvement, and sports massage for athletic performance. Sessions address muscle knots, posture issues, and stress-related conditions while complementing chiropractic care. This integrative approach helps patients achieve better range of motion, reduced pain levels, and improved circulation through personalized treatment protocols.
Medical Esthetics
Certified nurse practitioners administer FDA-approved cosmetic treatments including Botox injections and dermal fillers. These services address facial wrinkles, volume loss, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) with minimally invasive procedures. Anti-aging peptide therapies stimulate collagen production for skin rejuvenation. All treatments include comprehensive consultations to ensure natural-looking results that align with patients' aesthetic goals while maintaining safety and professional oversight.
Peptide Therapy
We offer research-backed peptide treatments that support tissue repair and systemic healing. BCP-157 accelerates injury recovery while gut-healing peptides improve digestive function. Vascular health peptides enhance circulation and metabolic support peptides boost energy levels. These amino acid-based therapies work at cellular levels to reduce inflammation, improve recovery times, and enhance overall vitality through targeted biological mechanisms that complement traditional treatment approaches.
Weight Loss Programs
Our GLP-1 medication programs (tirzepatide/semaglutide) combine pharmaceutical support with personalized nutrition coaching. Patients receive continuous glucose monitoring, customized meal plans, and protein supplementation guidance. Regular check-ins track progress while addressing metabolic factors affecting weight management. This science-based approach focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than temporary solutions, helping patients achieve long-term weight goals through medically supervised protocols.

I was super disappointed by this business. First, none of them were wearing masks. My grandma is currently in the hospital in critical condition due to COVID, so I thought it was super insensitive of a medical establishment to not be taking COVID seriously. Regardless of the employee's personal opinions, it is disrespectful to their patients to disregard COVID. They definitely lost my business for it.
In addition to the no masks, the business in general felt pretty unprofessional. The doctor knew it was my first time at a chiropractor, but he did not explain anything. It had no personal touch and the doctor seemed rude and like he just wanted to get my appointment over with. I will be taking my business to another chiropractor or a physical therapist instead. I recommend that no one waste their money here!

I have gone to Dr Huston for 5 years with complete satisfaction. Dr. Huston has moved and Dr. Mark Riggs has taken over the practice. My wife and I have been to Dr. Riggs several times and I am very happy with Dr. Riggs. He exhibits care and concern when working with our spines and with results I am happy with. I highly recommend Dr. Riggs for your Chiropractic care.
