Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments. We address back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint issues using non-invasive techniques. Patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced pain, and enhanced overall wellness through personalized treatment plans.
Diversified Technique
This hands-on technique targets restricted spinal joints to restore normal motion and alignment. It effectively relieves pain caused by misalignments and improves nervous system function. Patients experience faster recovery and better posture through precise, controlled thrusts applied to specific vertebrae.
Activator Methods
A low-force approach using a handheld instrument ensures consistent, gentle spinal corrections. Ideal for patients preferring minimal pressure or with complex conditions. This method enhances joint mobility and nervous system communication while maintaining patient comfort during treatment.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
This table-assisted technique gently stretches the spine to relieve disc pressure and nerve compression. Effective for sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. Patients achieve pain reduction and improved spinal function through targeted, non-surgical decompression therapy.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Low-level electrical currents reduce inflammation, ease muscle spasms, and promote healing in affected areas. Complements adjustments by addressing soft tissue injuries and chronic pain conditions. Patients experience faster recovery and reduced discomfort through this advanced muscle rehabilitation technique.

Hello from Albania! I reeeeeeally miss you all! The staff at DeGraw Chiropractic completely spoiled me, setting the bar quite high for service and care. I haven't found a Chiropractor or Chiropractic clinic in Europe to match Dr. Degraw's skill and care or the rest of the staff members' welcoming personalities. You all have such a good thing going and I wish you the best for many years to come. Gezuar!

Great office staff, experienced chiropractors, and clean facility. Dr. Fensterer usually gets me in and out in 20 minutes. I've never had to wait beyond my scheduled appointment time. I wish all of my doctors had office staff like this!

Report
Went to this "doctor" due to back and leg pain from June to August of this year. I was told that my leg pain was not sciatica, even though 2 medical doctors confirmed that it was. I also experienced no pain relief during this period. I was also told that my insurance would cover most of the treatments, although I ended up paying close to $650 out of my own pocket.

Been going to chiropractors all my life but this one isn't one of the better ones I've been to. They like to charge extra for bogus procedures and do minimal if not ineffective adjustments.
