Services
Chiropractic Manipulation
Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy (CMT) restores joint mobility and reduces pain through manual or activator-based adjustments. Dr. Manson employs neurological-based techniques tailored to individual needs, ensuring safe, effective care for spinal and extremity dysfunction. This approach improves biomechanical function and nervous system health.
Myofascial Release
Targeting myofascial trigger points, this therapy alleviates chronic pain by applying pressure to connective tissue. It enhances range of motion, flexibility, and reduces inflammation. Dr. Manson integrates this with chiropractic adjustments to address joint dysfunction and musculoskeletal imbalances.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine addresses internal disorders through lab testing and personalized protocols. Dr. Manson specializes in hormone imbalances, food sensitivities, and autoimmune conditions, using nutritional profiling and IV therapy to restore systemic health and prevent chronic disease.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections target muscle knots causing referred pain. Using homeopathic remedies, this therapy reduces inflammation and improves mobility. It is particularly effective for chronic conditions like migraines, sciatica, and TMJ pain, complementing manual therapies.
Auto Injury Rehabilitation
Specialized care for auto injury recovery, including whiplash and soft-tissue trauma. Dr. Manson employs biomechanical assessments and chiropractic techniques to restore function after accidents. The practice is certified in medicolegal documentation for insurance and legal compliance.

Dr Manson is outstanding! My wife an I suffer from back pain a lot. We're new to NM so finding someone has been difficult. A friend recommended him and he did not disappoint at all. My wife is moving so much better than 2 months ago and my pain is so minimal now and getting better. Dr Manson and his staff are so friendly and down to Earth people. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

I was in a car accident last year and felt terrible afterwards. Went to Chirospa for a consultation and went on a treatment plan designed personally for me. They take the time to ask you what is wrong instead of just doing a quick adjustment and sending you out the door. I refer everyone I know to them and wouldn't trust anyone else!

Went in because I had a muscle spasm in my back and wanted an adjustment. The first appointment was like 2 hours long and I had to answer soooo many questions. All he did for that first appointment was tap some thing on my back. Then he told me he wanted to see me 2 times a week for 3 weeks. When I left I was optimistic and scheduled those appointments. Next appointment was supposed to be a 30 minute massage and a adjustment, but the massage therapist was not in that day.
He convinced me to so a microfascial release that it would be the same as the massage, so I did. My appointment lasted 15 minutes! He did some small massages that were not even close to where I had a spasm and my bill was $117.75! I was so upset, I went to the front and expressed my outrage, but they couldnt do anything and I called ALL my other appointments! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY HERE!

I have not had recurring pain in 2 years and counting. Dr. Manson is a gifted and caring chiropractor. His work is exceptional and backed by a diverse understanding of the human body. I trust jim completely.
