Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our core service focuses on manual spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and improve nervous system function. This evidence-based approach helps alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and promote overall wellness through natural healing processes. Patients receive personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific conditions and health goals.
Pediatric Care
Specialized chiropractic care for infants and children addresses developmental needs and common childhood conditions. Our gentle techniques help with colic, sleep issues, and growth-related discomforts while supporting optimal nervous system development. Parents receive guidance on maintaining their child's spinal health through different developmental stages.
sEMG Testing
Surface Electromyography (sEMG) testing provides objective measurements of spinal muscle activity and stress levels. This non-invasive diagnostic tool helps identify imbalances and track progress over time. The data guides treatment decisions and demonstrates measurable improvements in patients' neuromuscular function throughout their care journey.
Sports Injury Rehab
Comprehensive rehabilitation programs address sports-related injuries through chiropractic adjustments combined with therapeutic exercises. Our approach focuses on restoring function, preventing re-injury, and optimizing athletic performance. Treatment plans incorporate soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and ergonomic recommendations tailored to each athlete's specific sport and position.
Wellness Programs
Proactive wellness plans emphasize maintaining optimal health through regular chiropractic care and lifestyle recommendations. These programs include posture correction, ergonomic advice, and exercise routines to prevent injuries and maintain spinal health. Patients receive personalized guidance on nutrition, stress management, and sleep hygiene to support overall well-being.

Nicole Barry is amazing! She not only provides an essential service for my overworked body, but she's also an awesome person. I love this facility and have (and will) recommend people go see her or her husband for all their chiropractic needs.
