Services

Spinal Manipulation

Manual spinal adjustments restore proper alignment and mobility, alleviating pain from herniated discs, sciatica, and facet syndrome. Our technique reduces nerve irritation while improving posture and range of motion. Patients receive individualized treatment plans combining adjustments with complementary therapies for optimal results.

Therapeutic Modalities

Electrotherapy, ultrasound, and cold laser treatments accelerate healing by reducing inflammation and muscle spasms. These non-invasive modalities enhance blood flow and cellular repair for conditions like arthritis, sports injuries, and chronic pain. Combined with manual therapy, they provide comprehensive pain management solutions.

Ergonomic Training

Customized ergonomic assessments address workplace and lifestyle factors contributing to musculoskeletal strain. We teach proper posture mechanics and workstation setup to prevent repetitive stress injuries. This service benefits office workers, students, and athletes seeking long-term pain prevention strategies.

Rehabilitation

Targeted exercises strengthen core muscles and improve joint stability following injuries or surgeries. Our rehabilitation programs focus on restoring functional movement patterns and preventing re-injury through progressive strengthening and balance training tailored to individual recovery goals.

Soft Tissue Techniques

Gentle stretching and soft tissue mobilization relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. This approach benefits patients preferring non-forceful treatments for conditions like muscle strains, tendonitis, and postural imbalances, promoting natural healing without aggressive manipulation.

I have been dealing for years with neck/shoulder tension and headaches. I was hesitant to go to a chiropractor because of the stories you hear about having to lock in several visits and payments before the doctor even starts treatment. NOT THE CASE with Dr. Schmid! On my first visit she told me the goal was to teach me self management. The day after that first treatment Dr Schmid called me personally to see how I was feeling, I was impressed!

In less than 2 months I am 100% and I now have the tools to counteract any stiffness/tension. I'm very appreciative for Dr Schmid changing my perception of chiropractic therapy. Thank you to her and to the kindness and helpfulness of the staff!

Contacted my insurance company and was told they were in network with them. I called and gave them my contact info and as soon as the office found out my type of insurance and that I wasn't from newtown proceeded to say "we aren't accepting new patients unless from newtown" seems very discriminatory based on financial status.

I first went to Dr. Schmid in November of 2020 with headaches and pain in my hip that - strangely - was giving me pain in my shin. I've been to plenty of chiropractors before because of my slight scoliosis, and Dr. Schmid is the chiropractor I'm most comfortable with by far. She's very up front about the treatment plan, and her goal is to see you less and less! I'm very impressed with my progress just 3 months later.

I'm now only seeing her once a month. I used to be very focused on my discomfort, but now I don't even think about it. As Dr. Schmid told me, "the body remembers what normal feels like". If you have pain, please go!

I went to Dr. Schmidt with a tricky neck injury that was not healing for months despite seeing other non-chiroractic practices. I was concerned about having my neck manipulated and I expressed all my concerns. Dr. Schmid listened to me and was very cautious, had me get x-rayed to do a thorough evaluation. I've been in her care now for six months and have a near total recovery. She's amazing.

Amazing. I was dealing with an 8 year long injury and drs kept telling me it is what it is but she did a few adjustments and the difference is amazing. I wish they had recommended this 8 years ago. It would have saved me many years of discomfort.

I would highly recommend Dr. Schmid. I have been seeing her for many years. She has always helped me with my back issues and has allowed me to be more physical and to be pain free. Whenever a problem occurs, the office is always able to accommodate and help me. I would highly recommend Dr. Schmid.
