Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Manual spinal adjustments restore joint mobility and alleviate pain through precise, controlled force application. Our doctors use diversified techniques to address subluxations, improving nervous system function and reducing inflammation. Patients experience relief from back pain, neck pain, and headaches while promoting natural healing processes.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerve roots. This FDA-cleared treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis by creating negative intradiscal pressure that promotes nutrient flow and tissue repair.
Cold Laser Therapy
Low-level laser treatment reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair through photobiomodulation. Our Class IV laser system penetrates deep tissues to stimulate cellular energy production, effectively treating soft tissue injuries, arthritis, and chronic pain conditions without pharmaceutical intervention.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized rehabilitation programs combine chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue therapies to treat sports-related injuries. We address ligament sprains, muscle strains, and joint dysfunction using Graston Technique instruments and therapeutic exercises to restore function and prevent re-injury.
Preventative Wellness Care
Regular spinal checkups and adjustments maintain optimal musculoskeletal function, preventing degenerative changes and enhancing overall wellness. Our proactive approach includes posture analysis, ergonomic recommendations, and lifestyle counseling to support long-term health and mobility.

As with many, my experience started with a phone call. Best first impression EVER! The staff was courteous, efficient and FUNNY! They quickly got me set up for a new patient visit and I was lucky enough to have an appointment within a couple days. I arrived 15 min early and only waited 5 min before being escorted back to a room. I did not wait more then 5 min there either, so was actually seen before my appointed time!
I was scheduled with Dr. Topor who went through some preliminary questions regarding lower back pain. He was quickly able to pin point the issue, make some corrections and provide me with some simple stretches to contradict what I am doing to my spine. Dr. Topor was confident that with those stretches I would be able to continue and self-treat the pain but offered me to schedule a single follow-up if I wanted.
I did schedule and the second visit was as efficient as the first. Over the week prior to that second visit my pain had drastically reduced and is continuing to get better. If I ever find myself in any back pain again, this is the place I'm calling! Dr. Topor and the staff are so enjoyable to work with! Do yourself a favor and give this practice a shot!

Being a new mom, I've had several issues with tight muscles and recently experiencing jaw, neck, face pain. I saw dr. topor and he was not only understanding, listened to my needs & concerns, he was empathetic towards my issues, had great insight on postpartum care & was relatable. Just one visit in and I felt so much better, more hopeful, excited about receiving treatment to relief my pain & can't wait for my next visit!

Made an appointment almost 2 weeks in advance, on the day of my appointment I get a call requesting to change my time to another day (a week out) because the doc wasnt in and it was an hour before i had to be there. Very disappointed as im still in pain with no remedy and then a phone call right before i practually left my home. Very unprofessional, never been there before, bad first impression.

I have been a patient for over 5 years and I love it there. Dr. Matthew Topar is phenomenal. He is patient, understanding and a great listener. He works hard to assure you feel better. The office staff is great too.

I have seen Dr. Topor for several years and he is truly a miracle worker. I love everything about the Rochester Chiropractic Group from the location, office and staff. I would highly recommend checking them out for any pains or preventive chiropractic care. I have been also seeing Dr. Topor throughout the entire 3rd trimester of my pregnancy and it has made such a difference.

I saw Dr. DeSandis for long-standing back issues in the past. He was able to determine the source of the problem and with a few changes in my exercise routine, my back pain has vanished. The extra stretches he gave me I still do 2 years later! I appreciate how he looks at the whole situation rather than just trying to address your symptoms. I have gone to other chiropractors in Rochester that I would not frequent again. Highly recommend the Rochester Chiropractic Group!
