Services
Acupuncture
Our certified practitioners use acupuncture to treat chronic pain, inflammation, and stress-related conditions. This ancient technique complements chiropractic adjustments by stimulating specific body points to promote natural healing. Patients receive personalized treatment plans that integrate acupuncture with other wellness strategies for optimal results.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized care for athletes addresses sprains, strains, and performance-related injuries. We combine chiropractic adjustments with rehabilitation exercises to restore mobility and prevent future injuries. Our team works closely with patients to develop sport-specific recovery protocols that enhance athletic performance while ensuring safe return to activity.
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Gentle, pregnancy-specific adjustments alleviate back pain, sciatica, and joint discomfort during gestation. Our Webster-certified practitioners use specialized techniques to improve pelvic alignment and create optimal space for fetal development. This care supports easier labor and faster postpartum recovery while maintaining maternal comfort throughout pregnancy.
Sciatica Treatment
Targeted spinal adjustments and decompression therapy address sciatic nerve compression. We identify root causes like herniated discs or spinal misalignments through comprehensive evaluations. Treatment plans combine manual therapy with stretching protocols to reduce inflammation and prevent recurrence of radiating leg pain.
Chiropractic for Kids
Gentle, age-appropriate adjustments address childhood musculoskeletal issues and developmental concerns. Our practitioners use specialized techniques to treat conditions like growing pains, posture problems, and minor sports injuries. Regular check-ups support proper spinal development and help children maintain active, healthy lifestyles.

I went through five Chiropractor's to find a good one. No matter what office I have visited they have been great. They have never tried to sell me things I don't need. Very good practice.

Dr. Tom and the care team at HCW Fruitville Commons are absolutely fantastic. As a clinician myself, each member of the team at this location are role model healthcare providers. After just a few visits, I am feeling better already!
