Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors provide personalized spinal adjustments using multiple techniques including manual adjusting, drop table, and computerized instruments. With specialized training in pediatric and sports chiropractic, our doctors create customized treatment plans to address neck pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal issues. This non-invasive approach helps patients achieve pain relief and improved mobility without drugs or surgery.
Decompression Therapy
This advanced therapy targets disc-related conditions through controlled computerized traction. By gently stretching the spine, decompression therapy relieves pressure on spinal discs to treat herniated/bulging discs, sciatica, and nerve compression. Patients experience reduced pain in the back, neck, arms, and legs while promoting natural healing of damaged spinal structures through this FDA-cleared treatment.
Acupuncture
Certified by the Ohio Chiropractic Board, our acupuncture services address chronic pain, headaches, and injury recovery. This evidence-based treatment stimulates specific body points to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and activate the body's natural painkillers. As one of Ohio's first 100 certified chiropractic acupuncturists, we combine this ancient practice with modern chiropractic care for comprehensive pain management solutions.
Cold Laser Therapy
Using the PainAway system, our cold laser therapy accelerates tissue repair and reduces inflammation without heat or discomfort. This non-invasive treatment enhances blood circulation, stimulates immune response, and provides natural pain relief. With over 20 years of clinical application, our light therapy protocols effectively treat acute injuries, chronic pain conditions, and post-surgical recovery needs through drug-free photobiomodulation.
Auto Injury Treatment
Specializing in auto accident injuries since 1983, our certified team handles all aspects of crash-related care. We provide expert evaluation, documentation, and treatment for whiplash, spinal misalignments, and soft tissue injuries. With direct billing to insurance companies and expertise in Ohio's auto injury laws, we guide patients through the recovery process while coordinating with legal professionals when needed.

I have never been to a chiropractor before this visit. I just turned 49 years old and wanted to get checked out as this office was highly recommended. I did not need much in the way of adjustments, but the staff was courteous, respectful and made me feel welcome and attended to. Dr. Gregg was fantastic at explaining everything he did prior to doing anything and explained what it would help. I highly recommend them and will continue here for my care.

My family has been extremely happy with the care we receive at Mantonya Chiropractic. Dr. Gregg helped with hip and back pain I was experiencing during all three of my pregnancies and now that our three kids are grown and active in multiple sports we know we can rely on Mantonya Chiropractic to help keep them healthy.

Dr. Gallaher was awesome! He was thorough and explained everything in terms I could easily understand. He was professional and listened attentively and I'm finally feeling relief from my back and neck pain. I would recommend Dr. Gallaher and Mantonya Chiropractic to anyone in need of chiropractic services. To top it off I also received a lovely flower for Mother's Day from the reception people on my way out. Super good experience!

My son (14) suffered an injury that left him with severe back pain. After just a few sessions, Dr J had him on the road to recovery. We are now six weeks into his treatment and not only has his back pain been eliminated but we have noticed an improvement in his posture and even an improvement with his running form. My daughter (9) had her first visit today and is already looking forward to her next appointment.

She does not have any injuries, her treatments are just for wellness. All of the staff members are super friendly, the facility is clean and the wait times are very minimal. They respect your time but they never make you feel rushed, they genuinely care. I highly recommend that you give Mantonya a try.

Dr J is awesome. He is always thoughtful and pleasant to conversation with and very thorough. I have been in 3 accidents and he makes me feel so much better with a snap, crackle and pop. The staff is pleasant as well.
