Services
Activator Methods
Activator Methods use a handheld instrument to deliver precise, low-force spinal adjustments. This technique is ideal for patients seeking gentle care, particularly those with osteoporosis or sensitivity to manual manipulation. The consistent thrust promotes improved joint mobility and nervous system function.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
Cox Flexion-Distraction involves a specialized table to gently traction the spine, relieving pressure on discs and nerves. This non-invasive technique effectively addresses sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis while enhancing circulation and reducing inflammation in targeted areas.
Diversified Adjustments
Diversified Adjustments employ manual thrusts to correct spinal misalignments. This foundational technique restores joint motion, alleviates pain, and improves overall biomechanics through precise, high-velocity, low-amplitude manipulations tailored to each patient's needs.
Gonstead Technique
The Gonstead Technique combines X-ray analysis and heat-sensing instruments for targeted full-spine adjustments. This method ensures accurate correction of subluxations, promoting structural balance and optimal nervous system function through evidence-based, reproducible results.
Auto Injury Care
Auto Injury Care specializes in treating whiplash and trauma from motor vehicle accidents. Utilizing chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises, we address neck pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal imbalances to restore mobility and prevent long-term complications.

I've been struggling with back issues for over 10 years. Today Dr. Sofia made me feel after only treatment. He really cares about his patients. Takes his time to listen to you and works with you to make you feel relief not discomfort. His staff is very courteous and friendly and they are always willing to help you with all your needs. My new new Dr. Moving forward.

Many years ago after my primary care physician told me that my back pain can be relieved with pain killers and muscle relaxers (!) I sought out chiropractic care to relieve my back pain and found Dr. Sophia. He and his staff have relieved my back pain and have provided me with many years of great care. It's easy to schedule an appointment and there's no pressure to schedule another. I do return occasionally for a "tune up." I highly recommend Sophia Chiropractic!
