Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves precise needle placement to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This ancient practice effectively treats chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions while promoting overall wellness. Our practitioners use sterile, single-use needles following strict safety protocols to ensure patient comfort and treatment effectiveness. Many patients experience immediate symptom relief after sessions.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic treatments focus on spinal alignment to improve nervous system function and alleviate musculoskeletal pain. Our adjustments address conditions like sciatica, neck pain, and herniated discs through manual manipulation techniques. Regular care helps maintain proper posture, prevent injuries, and enhance overall physical performance without pharmaceutical interventions.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition guidance addresses dietary needs for optimal health and disease prevention. We analyze individual requirements to create balanced eating plans that combat chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Our approach considers food sensitivities, lifestyle factors, and specific health goals to maximize nutritional benefits.
Pain Management
Our integrative pain management combines acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and lifestyle modifications to address persistent discomfort. We specialize in treating migraines, arthritis, and post-injury pain without addictive medications. Treatment plans focus on restoring mobility and improving quality of life through natural methods.
Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine addresses root causes of chronic diseases through behavior modification. We provide guidance on stress management, exercise programs, and sleep improvement techniques. This preventive approach helps reduce medication dependence while promoting long-term wellness through sustainable habit changes.

Report
I have been seeing Dr. Zilahy for acupuncture. With my 1st treatment I felt the best I'd felt in over a month. I have had chronic daily migraines for the last 6 months that were so severe I had to quit my job and apply for disability. I've gone for acupuncture 3 times and each time I feel amazing after the treatment. I'm looking forward to beginning my life again. If you suffer from migraines or any other brain dysfunction I would highly recommend Dr. Zilahy.

I have been going to Zilahy Wellness for about a month and have had a great experience. The acupuncture has made a big difference along with the weekly adjustments. I'm so glad I came here for treatment. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and welcoming and I look forward to all of my visits.

I had so much pain for years and saw many doctors and had many procedures to no avail until I saw Dr. Zilahy. Dr. Zilahy and Dr. Sung both are amazing. They have helped me tremendously. I highly recommend them. Also, the staff is always kind and courteous and they will squeeze you in for a visit when necessary. You will not be disappointed if you go.

I was recently involved in a motor vehicle accident. Following the collision I visited an Urgent Care, while being seen by the doctor for neck pain he suggested a visit to Dr Zilahy for chiropractic care. I followed up on his referral and I am very happy I did. Dr Zilahy has helped me tremendously. He and his entire staff have been nothing short of the utmost professional. I highly recommend Dr Zilahy to all.

Dr. Zilahy is brilliant. Helps me with my knee when I start to feel pain. He works on my hips, lower back, and up to my neck. If I didn't want adjustments, he always has alternative treatments to ensure my comfort.
