Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use manual techniques to correct spinal misalignments and improve nervous system function. This non-invasive treatment addresses pain, enhances mobility, and promotes natural healing through precise joint manipulations. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved posture, and better overall wellness outcomes.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on intervertebral discs. This traction-based treatment helps herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain by creating negative pressure that promotes disc healing and nerve decompression. Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes with multiple sessions recommended for lasting results.
Cold Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular function and reduce inflammation. This painless, drug-free treatment accelerates healing for soft tissue injuries, arthritis, and neurological conditions while improving circulation and reducing scar tissue formation in targeted treatment areas.
Orthotics Fitting
Custom foot orthotics address biomechanical imbalances that affect spinal alignment and posture. Through gait analysis and weight-bearing impressions, we create personalized arch supports that correct foot positioning, alleviate joint stress, and improve overall musculoskeletal function for long-term pain relief.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy targets specific muscle knots that cause referred pain and restricted movement. By applying sustained pressure to these hyperirritable spots, we release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and restore normal muscle function to alleviate chronic pain patterns and improve range of motion.

Dr Rugani has been straightening me out since 2005. He is a great explainer and I usually walk out with easy steps to make improvements: exercises, shoes, stretches.

I am so grateful for the continued level of excellence that is provided each time I go to Rugani Family Chiropractic. Dr. Rugani always listens to concerns, approaches my problems in a thoughtful, professional manner, and suggests follow up practices for home. He is extremely knowledgeable and has never failed to help me through falls, post surgery events, chronic pain, and alignment issues. I know I can count on being treated promptly and with great care.

I so appreciate the friendly greeting I receive from the office manager, Marianne, when I arrive for my appointment. She always puts me at ease and is a professional in organization; making appointments when needed, following up with insurance, and checking in to see how patients are feeling and progressing. I have been with this practice for over 15 years and know the benefits are beyond compare. Thank you, thank you!

I started seeing Dr. Rugani after a fall that severely injured my tailbone. I could barely sit without being in pain. Each time I went in during the course of my treatment I felt better and was able to move with less and less pain. I am feeling so much better and pain free. He is very kind and professional. I would recommend him to my own family and friends.
