Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments address intersegmental joint dysfunction through diversified techniques, drop table methods, and Activator tools. This treatment improves nervous system communication, reduces joint inflammation, and restores proper biomechanical function. Patients benefit from personalized care plans that may include spinal traction and orthopedic bracing for long-term musculoskeletal health.
Laser Therapy
Class IV infrared laser therapy stimulates cellular metabolism to accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment effectively manages chronic pain conditions and acute injuries by improving blood flow and cellular energy production. Patients experience drug-free pain relief for conditions like arthritis, neuropathies, and sports injuries through targeted photobiomodulation sessions.
Yoga Classes
Offering power vinyasa and flow-to-yin styles, our yoga instruction combines physical postures with breath synchronization. Classes improve core strength, flexibility, and mental clarity while accommodating all skill levels. Private sessions and specialized programs address individual needs, complementing chiropractic care through enhanced body awareness and stress reduction techniques.
Nutritional Support
We provide personalized nutritional guidance using Standard Process supplements and whole food-based programs. Our approach addresses dietary deficiencies, supports detoxification processes, and promotes optimal health through targeted supplementation. Patients receive education on organic food choices and purification protocols to enhance overall wellness and metabolic function.
Purification Programs
Structured purification programs cleanse the liver, kidneys, and digestive system through whole food nutrition and targeted supplementation. These 7-21 day programs reduce systemic inflammation, improve energy levels, and support weight management. Patients receive comprehensive guidance for eliminating environmental toxins and restoring optimal bodily function through natural detoxification processes.

Heather is by far the best chiropractor I have ever seen (and I've seen a few!). She is extremely knowledgeable with nutrition, health, supplements and all my weird and wonderful sports injuries and muscle imbalances. Bonus: she has 2 gorgeous friendly Rottweilers who I want to take home with me! I highly recommend visiting Heather!

Dr. Heather is an excellent, knowledgeable, and experienced practitioner. She is attentive and listens to your issues and other needs during each visit then takes the time to make an expert assessment in order to come up with an effective action plan. I first visited Dr. Heather after experiencing pain for quite a while as I was hesitant to take this step. But am so glad I did and as a result, and within just one visit, I experienced immediate results of relief! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
