Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments focus on correcting spinal misalignments through manual adjustments. This non-invasive approach alleviates pain from herniated discs, sciatica, and sports injuries while improving nervous system function. Patients receive personalized care plans combining traditional techniques with modern rehabilitation methods.
Spinal Decompression
This advanced treatment uses motorized traction to relieve back and neck pain by gently stretching the spine. The process creates negative pressure between vertebrae, promoting disc rehydration and reducing nerve compression. Ideal for treating bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and chronic spinal pain.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture services utilize thin needles to stimulate specific points along energy meridians. This ancient Chinese practice restores qi flow, reduces inflammation, and triggers natural pain relief mechanisms. Treatments address chronic pain, stress disorders, and musculoskeletal conditions using sterile, disposable needles.
Massage Therapy
Certified therapists provide deep tissue and therapeutic massage to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Sessions target specific areas like shoulders, back, and neck while promoting overall relaxation. Available in 30, 60, and 90-minute durations with discounted series packages.
Sports Chiropractic
Specialized treatment for sports-related injuries and performance optimization. This service combines joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation exercises to address overuse injuries, improve range of motion, and prevent future athletic injuries through biomechanical analysis.

I've had severe neck pain for over a decade after being injured in Afghanistan. I've tried numerous things to feel better: PT, pain management, pills, shots, other chiropractors and even considered surgery. The pain was constant but became unbearable this year. After ONE visit here, I am experiencing relief that I haven't experienced since 2010. I am in complete disbelief that I am feeling this amazing.
With the extent of my injuries, I'm not completely pain free and probably never will be BUT I feel like I have my life back with how much the pain has reduced. My mobility is at least 90% better. I have caught myself moving in awkward ways but realized I don't have to anymore because I can move my neck! I cannot say enough - if you are in pain, please visit Rulli chiropractic! I can't wait to start living again!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Knowledgeable Doctor with impeccable bed side manners. I brought him years of neck pain and he was able to do a thorough exam with X-rays on the first visit and create a treatment plan. I am confident moving forward he will help me find relief. This practice came highly recommended by a friend and now I see why. 10s if I could.

I have been going to see Dr. Rulli for a year and a half. When I started seeing him my neck hurt so bad I was barely able to make move and do my job. After a short time he had me in really good shape. He is amazing and a godsend. His staff is superb and the most helpful people you have ever met. He is the greatest Medical Professional I have ever gone to. He basically saved me from a world of hurt and I would highly recommend him and his office. They are the best.

Sometimes things are as good as they look. I'll be honest, I saw the solid 5 star reviews and wondered if they were real. I was never asked to leave a review, or incentivized in anyway (which is kind of unique for Chiropractors where it's standard practice). I think his staff is fantastic, super friendly, always welcoming. And Dr Rulli himself is amazing. He's straight forward. He really listens to his patients and does a great job.
I was in so much pain that I could barely move and he had me straightened up in almost no time. He doesn't try to upsell you this that and the other. He delivers exactly what you need, when you need it. I cannot recommend enough. Worth 5 stars, and probably more. Really good Chiropractic care.
