Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders through manual adjustments. This non-invasive approach alleviates pain, improves mobility, and enhances nervous system function. Patients benefit from tailored treatment plans addressing back pain, neck pain, and posture issues while promoting overall wellness.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate healing and pain relief. This ancient practice reduces inflammation, eases muscle tension, and balances bodily systems. Patients report improved sleep, reduced headaches, and enhanced recovery from chronic conditions like arthritis and sciatica.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This therapy targets bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative conditions by improving nutrient flow to damaged areas. Most patients experience significant pain reduction within 6-10 sessions, combined with muscle-strengthening exercises for long-term results.
PiezoWave Therapy
PiezoWave Therapy uses acoustic waves to accelerate tissue repair and reduce chronic pain. This FDA-cleared technology treats tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and sports injuries by stimulating blood flow and cellular regeneration. Sessions last 15-20 minutes, with 4-8 treatments typically required for optimal outcomes.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy applies light energy to reduce inflammation and promote cellular healing. This painless treatment accelerates recovery for conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and soft-tissue injuries. Patients experience reduced swelling, improved circulation, and faster healing without invasive procedures or medication.

I was very uncomfortable with my body, having pain that was nagging me constantly. I saw an ad on facebook so I ask for consult and started treatment which has left me calm, cool, and collected. I just feel so much better and without all the medication.

I was very pleased with the chiropractic services that I received during my first visit. I will definitely become a regular patient. Dr. Rachel also treated my 3 month old great granddaughter with great results. I would highly recommend Freeman Chiropractic to anyone seeking chiropractic services.

After suffering from lower back pain for months and not wanting surgery I decided to try decompression. After just a few visits the pain had lessened considerably. I finished the treatment and I have been pain free for over a year now. Dr. Horn and his staff and wonderful. They take the time to listen and to get to know their patients. You couldn't find a better place to go!
