Services
Chiropractic Manipulation
Chiropractic manipulation restores joint mobility and nervous system function through precise spinal or extremity adjustments. This safe, non-invasive technique alleviates pain from musculoskeletal conditions while improving range of motion and overall joint health. Our chiropractors customize adjustments using diverse methods to match individual patient needs and comfort levels.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body to balance energy flow and trigger natural healing processes. By inserting sterile needles, we address chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances. This ancient practice complements modern medicine, offering drug-free solutions for conditions like migraines, arthritis, and anxiety.
Spine Rehabilitation
Our spine rehabilitation programs combine chiropractic care with targeted exercises to accelerate recovery from injuries or chronic conditions. Using evidence-based protocols like the McKenzie Method, we strengthen core muscles, improve posture, and reduce recurrence risks while guiding patients through progressive healing stages.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy reduces muscle tension and enhances circulation through techniques like trigger point therapy and myofascial release. Certified therapists address sports injuries, pregnancy-related discomfort, and stress-induced pain while promoting relaxation and faster tissue healing as part of integrated treatment plans.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy modalities including ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and traction complement manual therapies for comprehensive healing. These treatments reduce inflammation, relieve nerve pressure, and restore mobility through targeted interventions that enhance tissue repair and pain management outcomes.

I've been seeing Dr. Meismer as needed for at least 10 years, with sometimes years between visits. She is knowledgeable, highly competent, and effective. My current insurance has limited coverage so I pay out of pocket and her rates are also extremely reasonable. I'm grateful to know she's there for me when my back is out of sorts.

I have received chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture from City Center Chiropractic. The practitioners are evidence-based and can be holistic as well. Dr. Julie Miesmer is open and welcoming and is honest about what she can and cannot do for you - and encourages self-care and exercises. Angie's acupuncture is helpful, and she is informative about holistic ways to treat issues and offers supplements.
I have recommended Dr. Julie to a number of friends and family; most of them still see her as needed. My husband sees her as well, and he receives much-needed chiropractic and physical therapy assistance for over a decade now.

I received acupuncture at city center chiropractic back in 4/2013.at least that is what my bill that I received in the mail with statement date 9/8/2016. This is ridiculous. I have new insurance, new bank accounts, etc. now this will be a chore to look into. I do remember them having a "billing" problem back when I was receiving services and my acupuncturist assuring me that she would clear things up.
I can't even fully remember the conversation. Keep your receipts! Updated post: since posting this I received a call and an email letting me know that they would not be collecting any additional payments from me for services and asked that I removed and/or update my review. I have since updated my review from a one star to a three star.
