Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use precise manual techniques to correct spinal misalignments. This specialized care helps alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance nervous system function. Patients benefit from individualized treatment plans that address specific conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches while promoting overall wellness through natural healing processes.
Gonstead Technique
The Gonstead Technique provides gentle, targeted spinal adjustments using biomechanical analysis. This evidence-based approach effectively addresses disc problems, nerve compression, and postural imbalances. Patients experience improved spinal function and reduced pain through this systematic method that prioritizes patient comfort and long-term structural correction for optimal health outcomes.
Corrective Exercises
Customized corrective exercises strengthen supporting musculature and improve posture. These home-based programs complement chiropractic care by addressing muscle imbalances and movement patterns that contribute to pain. Patients develop better body mechanics and prevent recurring issues through guided exercise routines tailored to their specific rehabilitation needs and wellness goals.

Over the past 5 years, I have sought chiropractic treatments for a variety of ailments (neck and back problems, constipation and other issues). Chad is an excellent chiropractor and with every adjustment I saw results. would recommend Petterson Chiropratic to anyone.

For starters, I have been to numerous other chiropractors in the past and have quickly lost trust for them and their techniques. I then, very hesitantly, began seeing Dr. Chad Petterson at Petterson Chiropractic and he instantly was a blessing. Dr. Chad Petterson is a very caring doctor who is very concerned for his patients well being! I have been seeing him for the last three years now and all aspects of my health have been improved. I highly recommend Dr. Chad Petterson as your next chiropractic doctor!

I have been treated by multiple chiropractors for various lengths of time over the last few years and did not see any improvements. With Dr. Petterson, I started to see and feel improvements after a few sessions. He is caring, compassionate and very knowledgeable about the human body. He is the best!

Report
I have been treating with Dr. Petterson for a whiplash and other relatated issues, I was having a lot of headaches and dizziness, and low back pain. I was in pain everyday, and the dizziness was really making it hard to be functional on a day to day basis. I now have no dizziness, and very minimum neck and back pain, and feel like I got some of my life back. I love the technique he uses, I have been to many Chiropractors and have worked in the profession for a number of years, and I always thought some to be too aggressive, I like Dr. Pettersons gentle approach. And He also takes time to explain in detail your progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to feel better and get out of pain.
