Services
Dry Needling Therapy
Our dry needling therapy targets musculoskeletal pain through precise needle insertion techniques. This evidence-based treatment effectively addresses chronic pain conditions by stimulating trigger points and promoting natural healing processes. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation and improved mobility without medication dependency, making it ideal for sports injuries and repetitive strain conditions.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy alleviates disc-related pain through computer-controlled traction. This FDA-cleared technology creates negative pressure in spinal discs to promote nutrient flow and healing. Patients experience reduced nerve compression symptoms while avoiding invasive procedures and their associated recovery periods.
Hyperbaric Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy accelerates healing for concussion recovery and sports injuries through increased oxygen delivery. Our pressurized chamber enhances tissue repair and reduces inflammation for traumatic injuries and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive treatment complements other therapies for comprehensive rehabilitation outcomes.
Custom Orthotics
Custom-fitted orthotics address biomechanical imbalances through personalized arch support design. Our digital scanning technology ensures precise fit for improved posture and gait correction. Patients benefit from enhanced comfort during daily activities while addressing underlying structural issues.
Diagnostic Imaging
On-site diagnostic imaging services include X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound for accurate musculoskeletal assessment. Our advanced imaging capabilities enable prompt diagnosis and treatment planning without external referrals. This comprehensive approach ensures timely intervention based on precise anatomical evaluations.

I love Dr. Fishkin, I suffer from specific pain in my chest, costochondritis, I have seen many different doctors and medications after medication I was getting know where until Dr. Fishkin and his dry needling. First visit he listened and then came up with a plan. It has been 1 year of suffering before him. I go maybe once every 2 weeks to.ensure my pain is controlled but I love and thank him for giving me my life back. I can pick up and play with my kids because of him. Go see him for any kind if pain, he is truly a magician.

I had a sharp pain in my right thigh. My doctor referred me to Dr. Fishkin. He is a very pleasant and funny man. He is very professional. He listens and asks questions to determine the course of action. He does what he does and you are out. I went in December and visited every week for three weeks then lengthened the time between visits to see if the pain was persistent. After each visit (even after the first) my thigh would feel better.
After a two week gap with little to no pain, Dr. Fishkin said it was time to "unpeel the onion" and get to the root of the pain so it does not return. I went back two weeks later and there was a twinge but nothing like it was in the beginning. He did the procedure and I have not had any pain since. My last visit was ta week and a half ago.

I cannot say enough kind words about Dr. Fishkin. Not only is he an amazing chiropractor, who has helped relieve both me and my husband from a great deal of pain, he is a warm, caring and very attentive person. Dr. Fishkin spends a nice amount of time with you providing, education, advise and answering questions. Nice office, easy/free parking and great energy. I highly recommend!

I've been going to Dr. Fishkin for about 3 years for various chronic and acute conditions- low back, neck, shoulder, hip, jaw, asthma, foot, hand. As a very active person, Dr. Fishkin has been able to help me continue my preferred activities. He really listens, and is masterful with dry needling and adjustments as well as other modalities (traction, cupping, oxygen tank). In addition, he's also not afraid to send me for a test or another specialist if treatments aren't working (and then he collaborates with other professionals for the best treatment). Dr. Fishkin is extremely professional, caring, and knowledgeable, and I completely trust him.

This year my better half made an appointment with Dr. Fishkin, who was the only Chriopractor who would take me on a Friday afternoon (thank you so much!). Dr. Fishkin asked a few questions about what was hurting and then suggested dry needling. Honestly, I was skeptical since I'd never heard of the procedure but was ready to try something that would give instant relief without medication. We did two rounds the first trip - after the first round the shooting pain was gone completely but I was still having trouble with range of motion.
After the second round I had full range of motion.and was no longer a skeptic! Went back for three follow up visits and between the needling and stretches I'm back to 100% in a week vs. a couple months. For those interested I definitely recommend it. The needling isn't like a shot and is not painful. When the needle hits the muscle knot it feels like a burning cramp for a few seconds after which you can actually feel the muscle relax. Dr Fishkin didn't recommend any unnecessary treatment and didn't schedule me for unnecessary visits. Bedside manner is great, conversation flows, and he seems to care about helping!

Dr. David Fishkin is not only my chiropractor, he is also my friend. He is one of the kindest people I know and is truly dedicated to his patients. He's always thinking outside the box and works outside the office on your case hoping to achieve the best outcome. He is funny And kind and always explains his treatments and doesn't push anything that you're not comfortable with. He does not have a big ego and always offers recommendations if he feels another doctor can help with your healing. I love the dry needling and body work and stretching and always leave feeling better than when I entered.
