Chiropractic for Back Pain
Our chiropractic back pain treatment combines spinal adjustments with physiotherapy to address nerve compression and muscle tension. With over 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Santonastaso creates personalized plans targeting herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain. This non-invasive approach focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment to reduce inflammation and improve mobility, offering patients a drug-free alternative to traditional pain management methods.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services integrate manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and advanced modalities like ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Tailored treatment plans address post-injury recovery, chronic condition management, and mobility restoration. The program emphasizes patient education about posture correction and ergonomic adjustments while combining chiropractic care for comprehensive musculoskeletal rehabilitation that improves strength and flexibility.
Headache Treatment
This specialized headache treatment addresses tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches through spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapy. By correcting cervical spine misalignments and relieving nerve pressure, we target the root causes of chronic headaches. The program includes posture analysis and lifestyle recommendations to prevent recurrence, offering long-term relief without medication dependency for patients experiencing frequent or severe headache episodes.
Herniated Disc Treatment
Our herniated disc treatment focuses on non-surgical spinal decompression and targeted adjustments to relieve nerve compression. Using diagnostic imaging and physical examinations, we develop individualized plans that may include therapeutic exercises and posture correction. This approach helps reduce inflammation, improve disc hydration, and restore normal spinal mechanics, providing effective pain relief while preventing future disc-related complications through patient education on proper body mechanics.
Pain Management
Our comprehensive pain management program addresses chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, sciatica, and post-accident injuries through a multi-modal approach. Combining chiropractic adjustments with physiotherapy and lifestyle modifications, we target both symptoms and underlying causes. The treatment emphasizes natural healing mechanisms while providing practical strategies for managing pain flare-ups and improving daily functionality for patients with long-term pain conditions.

I LOVE Dr Ralph. I've been a client for over 15 yrs. I used to live in Livingston but now live in Edison and make the drive. I will only let Dr Ralph adjust my neck. I suffer from migraines and his adjustments definitely help. Great front desk staff too.

I have recommended Livingston Chiropractic to everyone I know! Within a matter of weeks, Dr. Ralph was able to help me through a painful hip injury that had been mistreated for many months. He has also treated my father & grandmother for long lasting issues that are now completely under control in his care. Dr. Ralph and his wife are always extremely personable and helpful. Dr. Ralph truly listens to the needs of his patients to bring them the relief they have been seeking!
