Services
Chiropractic Manipulation
This technique involves precise bone and muscle repositioning to improve spinal function and remove nerve interference. The diversified method uses gentle thrusts to realign joints, enhancing brain-body communication. Patients experience reduced pain and improved mobility through this non-invasive treatment that addresses structural imbalances.
NAET Allergy Treatment
NAET combines chiropractic techniques with kinesiology to address allergy-related energy imbalances. By identifying and correcting sensitivities to environmental and food allergens, this drug-free treatment helps reduce symptoms like sinus issues and digestive problems. It's particularly effective for chronic allergy sufferers seeking long-term relief.
Flexion-Distraction Therapy
This specialized therapy uses a treatment table to gently stretch lumbar joints, relieving lower back and leg pain. The non-surgical decompression technique reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves, making it effective for sciatica, disc herniations, and chronic back pain conditions through gradual structural realignment.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Using controlled electrical currents, this treatment balances muscle ion levels and induces therapeutic contractions. It effectively reduces muscle spasms, improves circulation, and accelerates recovery from soft tissue injuries by stimulating natural healing processes in targeted muscle groups.
Nutritional Counseling
Based on blood test results, we provide personalized dietary recommendations and supplement plans. This service addresses nutritional deficiencies and supports overall health improvements by integrating proper nutrition with chiropractic care for comprehensive wellness solutions.

Report
I had been experiencing back pain until I woke up one morning and could barely walk. I went to see Dr. Scharf and she said there was pressure on one of the discs in my lower back. After five visits over the course of about two weeks, the pain was gone and has not returned. No medication, no surgery. Dr. Scharf takes the time to pinpoint the cause of the problem and uses the appropriate treatment technique for the condition and the individual. Since that experience, I've become a regular patient to prevent pain from happening in the first place. I can't recommend In Good Hands Chiropractic highly enough.

Dr. Sharf is amazing for manipulative therapy. She not only adjusts skeletal issues but works on the soft tissue first.

I didn't find the sessions to be helpful and come to find out later that my report Dr Sharf wrote was falsified, she noted "symptoms" I never had to get the insurance authorization. Will never go back.

Report
I have been going to Dr. Scharf for weekly NAET treatments for over a decade. Her healing touch has changed my life! Before seeing Dr. Scharf I had to carry around an EpiPen for my bee allergy. Today, I am almost completely allergy free as a result of the countless things she has treated me for. Traditional medicine only offers temporary solutions. NAET offers a permanent solution for things like bee allergies peanut allergies, lactose intolerance, poison ivy reactions, arthritis, sciatica pain, and even helps with Autism.
Whatever your diagnosis is, don't give up hope yet. If you are anything like me, you are probably skeptical about the existence of a 'cure-all' technique but I promise if you search for "NAET" you will find that it is very much a real thing.
