Services
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This non-invasive treatment addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain through controlled traction. Patients experience improved circulation and nutrient flow to spinal structures, promoting natural healing without surgery or medication.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Manual spinal adjustments correct vertebral misalignments causing pain and restricted movement. Our chiropractors use precise techniques to improve nervous system function and restore joint mobility. This treatment effectively addresses neck pain, headaches, and posture-related discomfort through targeted manual therapy.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair using specific light wavelengths. This painless treatment enhances cellular function for faster recovery from soft tissue injuries. It's particularly effective for treating tendonitis, muscle strains, and chronic pain conditions.
Corrective Exercises
Customized exercise programs strengthen supporting musculature and improve posture. These targeted movements address muscular imbalances contributing to pain and dysfunction. Patients learn home exercises to enhance treatment outcomes and prevent future injuries through improved biomechanics.
X-Ray Diagnostics
On-site digital X-ray capabilities enable accurate diagnosis of spinal conditions and joint issues. High-resolution imaging helps identify structural abnormalities, degenerative changes, or injury-related problems. This diagnostic tool guides treatment planning while minimizing patient inconvenience.

Best Chiropractor ever! Been to a bunch, know quite a few personaly. Dr Brian immediately found and fixed issues I have had for decades that all the other guys missed. Suffered Chronic pain since my early twenties (I'm 63 now). Wish I had found him 40 years ago. I'm a big boy, 270 lbs without much fat, hard for a lot of chiropractors to work with. Dr B handles me like I was 90lbs soaking wet. I think his strength allows him to be persice and gentle Super talented and a super sweet guy to boot.

Where has Wellness Chiropractic been my whole life. I recently went to see Dr. Brian after a recommendation from a friend. He did not disappoint. He quickly diagnosed the issue and fixed it. I see him regularly for adjustments and have no back issues as long as I keep my end of the deal.
