Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment to alleviate pain and improve function. This hands-on technique addresses back pain, neck pain, and sciatica by correcting misalignments that cause nerve impingement and muscle strain. Our chiropractors use both manual and instrumental methods tailored to individual patient needs.
Sigma ProAdjuster
The Sigma ProAdjuster provides precise, gentle spinal adjustments using computerized technology. This low-force instrument identifies and treats problematic spinal segments through resonance percussive impulses. It offers immediate pain relief for acute and chronic conditions while tracking treatment effectiveness through pre- and post-test analysis.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy stimulates cellular energy production to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and arthritis by improving circulation and promoting natural healing processes in affected tissues.
Custom Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics correct biomechanical imbalances to relieve foot, leg, and back pain. These specially designed shoe inserts support proper alignment, improve posture, and prevent injuries by addressing individual gait abnormalities and structural issues like fallen arches.
Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve disc-related pain and nerve compression. This non-surgical treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis by creating negative pressure that promotes disc rehydration and nerve decompression.

I have been going to hay clinic for about a year and a half. It's a process but most good things are. I feel well taken care of, i could ask questions at each one of my visits. And they are answered in a respectful manner. The staff has always been kind. I now have a friend going to their office and she loves it also.
