Services
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression uses FDA-cleared technology to gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure that retracts herniated discs and promotes natural healing through nutrient diffusion. This 20-minute treatment effectively addresses disc injuries and nerve compression while patients remain fully clothed.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Customized manual and instrument-assisted adjustments correct vertebral subluxations using techniques like Diversified, Gonstead, and Activator methods. Our approach targets specific misalignments to restore nervous system function and alleviate pain from various musculoskeletal conditions.
Cold Laser Therapy
FDA-approved low-level light therapy enhances cellular metabolism, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair without heat or discomfort. This non-invasive treatment improves circulation and oxygenation to effectively manage acute injuries and chronic pain conditions.
Veteran Care Programs
Specialized care for veterans through VA referral programs includes comprehensive treatment plans covering spinal adjustments, diagnostic imaging, and therapeutic modalities at no cost to eligible patients under OPTUM-administered outpatient coverage.
Custom Foot Orthotics
Digital foot scanning identifies pressure imbalances to create personalized orthotics that correct biomechanical issues. This service addresses plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and arch problems through customized support solutions combined with complementary in-office treatments.

Dr. Todd and his staff are a GREAT bunch of people. Very friendly and caring. They will help you get back up on your feet and moving again. I've only been twice for my lower back pain and am already feeling much better. I would HIGHLY recommend them if your having any back or neck issues.

Dr. Todd is everything you would hope to find in any practitioner, a master of his craft, ethical, and empathetic. I really wish I had gone to Dr. Todd first before wasting my time with 2 other terrible chiropractors. If you live in Carroll County or close to it, TRUST ME this is the only place you want to come for chiropractic care.

I'd been in a car accident five or six years ago and hd been experiencing shoulder pain for years. One visit to Dr. Todd and I was able to lift my arm above my head for the first time in years. I've been going for three weeks now and have almost full range of motion again! Definitely amazing results! Thanks Dr. Todd!

After a fall injuring my arm and shoulder and suffering with excruciating pain, I decided to try chiropractic care. After two treatments with Dr Todd, I am amazed at the results. I just wish I done this sooner. Dr Todd is awesome, very knowledgeable. He explains in great detail the cause, effect and and treatment spending the time needed to do so and answering questions. For anyone enduring pain, it is worth a visit to Dr Todd. Once you go and have relief, you will look forward to each visit. He and his staff are very friendly and personable. It is a very pleasant and beneficial experience.
