Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on spinal health and nervous system function through precise manual adjustments. This treatment helps alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellness by correcting vertebral subluxations. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved nerve communication, and better musculoskeletal alignment, leading to natural healing without medication.
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapy services combine multiple techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Treatments include deep tissue work, myofascial release, and reflexology to address specific needs. Patients experience reduced stress, faster recovery from injuries, and improved flexibility through our customized massage programs that complement chiropractic care.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments stimulate the body's natural healing processes through strategic needle placement at specific meridian points. This ancient practice helps manage pain, reduce inflammation, and balance energy flow throughout the body. Our certified practitioners use this technique to treat various conditions including chronic pain, headaches, and stress-related disorders.
Nutritional Supplements
We offer professional-grade nutritional supplements to support overall health and wellness goals. Our personalized supplement recommendations address specific nutritional deficiencies and support bodily functions. Patients receive guidance on proper nutrition and lifestyle changes to complement their physical treatments and maintain optimal health.
X-Rays
Diagnostic X-rays help identify structural issues affecting spinal health and nervous system function. This imaging technology reveals misalignments, degenerative changes, and other conditions requiring specific treatment approaches. Patients receive accurate diagnoses and targeted care plans based on comprehensive imaging analysis.

Report
I received a phone call 10 minutes before my appointment saying "your apt was actually at 1:50" but it was for 2:10. When I tried asking why it was set up for the wrong time, the woman told me "no it was for 1:50 but I tell you what we can still get you in" but my reminder (which they say to go by) was for 2:10. Then upon arrival we are told my fiance was late and that his apt was even earlier yesterday.
We tried to figure out why our appointments weren't set up the way we asked but Lori took it upon herself to raise her voice at us telling us we were wrong and to listen to what our reminder said not what we signed up for. but our phones told us our appointments were at 2pm today. (this is when I found out it was the same woman I spoke to on the phone) Would love to know if there's anyone else that could handle this, that's not how anyone should be treated and I'm disappointed. What happened to listening to people or their concerns to find a solution.

Doctor Docker is the best! He listens to your concerns and adjusts his treatment for what is failing you on that specific day. The massage therapist at this facility are amazing!

They do the gonstead method here! Both Drs are very nice! Their ice pack prices are very reasonable and the front desk lady's are very helpful. The message therapist's are very good at helping you relax if it is your first time having a message. Was there again in 2019 to try the new massage therapist Crystal, she did a great job! Will be back again! 1/31/2020 Had another massage with Crystal. I feel amazing! She uses essential oils to help you relax. Love it!

One of the best! I don't think I would have recovered nearly as quickly after a major back injury without their help. The massages are great!
