Disc Decompression

Our disc decompression therapy alleviates back and neck pain by gently stretching the spine to reduce pressure on intervertebral discs. This non-surgical treatment promotes healing for bulging or herniated discs, improving mobility and reducing nerve compression. Ideal for patients seeking relief from chronic spinal conditions without invasive procedures.

Dry Needling

Dry needling targets muscle pain and inflammation by inserting thin needles into trigger points to release tension. This technique effectively treats sports injuries, migraines, and chronic pain conditions. Patients experience reduced discomfort and accelerated recovery through improved blood flow and muscle relaxation.

Pregnancy Chiropractic

Specialized chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy address lower back pain, posture issues, and pelvic alignment. Safe and gentle care supports maternal comfort, eases labor preparation, and reduces nausea. Regular visits promote optimal fetal positioning and postpartum recovery for expecting mothers.

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy uses targeted light to stimulate cellular repair, reducing inflammation and pain in injured tissues. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing for sprains, arthritis, and soft-tissue injuries. Patients benefit from drug-free pain management with minimal side effects.

Posture Correction

Posture correction addresses structural imbalances through spinal adjustments and exercises. Improved alignment enhances nervous system function, reduces pain, and prevents long-term musculoskeletal issues. Patients gain better mobility and energy levels by restoring proper biomechanics.

Dr. Impastato is an amazing person and one of the best chiropractor I came across. He listens carefully about the problem and will fix the main cause of the problem. I am periodically dealing with cervical, neck and arm pain which comes and go. His methods are very beneficial especially he combines adjustments, needle therapy and other required therapy. Thank you

Came to Dr. Impastato with neck and head pain and tightness. He showed me xrays indicating compression and arthritis in my vertebrae. He has me on a plan that has helped me tremendously. Very professional and his staff is friendly and courteous. Recommend him highly to anyone in pain.

I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Impastato for sciatic back pain on and off for years. If I push myself too hard and I have a flare up, Ricco can help me recover and get back in the game. His "bedside" manner is easy going, and caring. I never feel rushed when seeing him. Even if the clinic is busy. The clinic's staff is top notch! Friendly and efficient. Easy to communicate with and clear on their process. Their location is convenient to access and has dedicated parking. I recommend this clinic.

I've seen Dr Impastato for back and shoulder issues from overuse and weightlifting. After going the conventional route and trying every remedy short of surgery The Doc had me pain free inside of 2 months. He's also helping me rehab my shoulder with advice on movements. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Everyone should n the office is pleasant, professional and attentive!

After seeing a doctor, taking various medications, doing physical therapy exercises and using an inversion table, I still wasn't able to completely get my pain under control. Impastato Chiropractic finally gave me the relief I had spent months seeking. The various therapies, particularly the spinal decompressions, made a huge difference. Super friendly staff!
