Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment and mobility through precise manual techniques. This service alleviates pain from musculoskeletal conditions, improves nerve function, and enhances overall wellness. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, better posture, and increased range of motion, supporting long-term health and injury prevention.
Spinal Traction
Spinal traction gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. It treats herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain by creating space between vertebrae. This non-surgical therapy promotes healing, reduces muscle spasms, and restores proper spinal alignment for lasting relief.
Pain Relief Therapy
Targeted pain relief therapy addresses acute and chronic pain through customized treatment plans. Techniques include soft tissue therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities like heat/cold therapy. Patients experience reduced discomfort, improved mobility, and faster recovery from injuries or degenerative conditions.
Wellness Programs
Wellness programs focus on maintaining optimal health through regular chiropractic care, lifestyle counseling, and nutritional guidance. These programs prevent pain recurrence, boost immune function, and promote holistic well-being. Patients receive personalized strategies to sustain energy levels, mental clarity, and physical vitality.
Auto Accident Recovery
Auto accident recovery combines chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitative therapies to treat whiplash, back injuries, and soft tissue damage. This service accelerates healing, restores mobility, and reduces long-term complications from collisions. Patients regain functionality and return to daily activities safely.

Dr. Pensa is awesome, and so easy to talk to with great communication skills. He answered all my questions, his staff is wonderful, I couldn't have asked for a nicer doctor and health care professionals, he is so worth it, all the way around, he still cares about his patients and gives them the one on one everyone wishes they could get from any medical care worker these days. I was so impressed! Thank you for the exceptional care and service you and your staff provided me!

I was referred to Dr. Pensa after a car accident in early July, 2019. Today (September 16, 2019) was my last day of treatment and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Pensa, Gianna and Arlene. They were always very kind, helpful, compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable and accommodating. I always felt welcome, well cared for and secure throughout the course of my treatment. The care I received at University Chiropractic was superior!
I am healing nicely and am feeling much better. I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of chiropractic services, Dr. Pensa and his team are truly the best! Thank you Dr. Pensa, Gianna and Arlene for amazing care, I appreciate all you did for me and wish you all the very best!
