Chiropractic Adjustments

Our manual adjustments realign spinal joints to improve nervous system function and alleviate pain. Using diversified techniques, we address back pain, neck pain, and headaches through precise, controlled movements. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced inflammation as the body's natural healing processes activate.

Spinal Decompression

This non-surgical traction therapy relieves pressure on spinal discs to treat herniations and degeneration. By gently stretching the spine, we create negative pressure that promotes nutrient flow and disc healing. Patients find relief from sciatica, arm pain, and chronic back conditions through this targeted approach.

Cold Laser Therapy

Low-level laser treatments reduce inflammation and stimulate cellular repair for acute injuries and chronic pain. This drug-free modality accelerates healing in muscles, nerves, and connective tissues. Patients benefit from faster recovery times and decreased pain without invasive procedures or medication side effects.

Orthotic Support

Custom-molded orthotics correct foot imbalances that contribute to back and joint pain. By stabilizing the foundation of posture, these supports improve spinal alignment and reduce compensatory stresses. Patients experience better weight distribution and long-term relief from biomechanical pain patterns.

Trigger Point Therapy

Targeted pressure on muscle knots breaks cycles of chronic tension and referred pain. This hands-on technique releases tight bands in soft tissues, improving circulation and range of motion. Patients achieve lasting relief from myofascial pain syndromes and posture-related discomfort.

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.

I was suffering severe lower back pain to the point I wasn't comfortable sitting or standing for a couple of weeks. I finally caved and requested help from my Facebook Friends to help me find a Chiropractor. MANY recommendations came through including Dr. Rugani. I called around to a few different places but no one could get me in the same day. I called Dr. Rugani and he had me in at 12:30 that same day.

After a couple visits of a few different therapies, I finally started to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can FINALLY do the activities I thoroughly enjoy. THANK YOU DR. RUGANI for your knowledge and fantastic services!

In the final weeks of my pregnancy, I started experiencing a lot of pain. My midwife suggested I seek out a chiropractor, and I am so glad I found Dr. Rugani. Not only was I able to schedule an appointment the following day, Dr. Rugani really took the time to listen to me and assess my needs, and I began feeling better after my first appointment! Extremely professional and personable. I highly recommend Rugani Family Chiropractic.

My daughter, a competitive gymnast, suffered from nagging overuse injuries and pain in her knee and neck. Dr Rugani treated both successfully - we started with visits twice a week and tapered off to monthly and she is now pain free. She would look forward to the visits and leave "feeling refreshed". Highly recommend Dr Rugani.

I have been going to Dr. Rugani for a few months, for a sciatica and neck issue that was getting quite painful. Within a few appointments, I was feeling so much better. Not only did Dr. Rugani do manual adjustments, he also incorporated various modes of physiotherapy ( ultrasound, interferential electrical muscle stimulation) into my treatment sessions. Additionally, he gave me exercises and stretching postures to do at home and made recommendations for lifestyle changes, like raising my laptop screen to eye level to alleviate neck tension, etc. This all encompassing approach, along with his warm, friendly and professional personality, made choosing him for my chiropractor an excellent choice!

I've been in Dr. Rugani's care for a few years on and off as necessary. He is an excellent chiropractor as well as an all around person. He is incredibly personable, attentive to your needs, and very flexible with scheduling. As the years went by so did the requirements, and he has been no slouch in keeping on top of that! He also offers insight as to what you can do at home to further your recovery!
