Services
Back Pain Treatment
Our back pain treatment combines spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle guidance to address root causes like poor posture or disc issues. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and long-term relief through personalized care plans tailored to individual conditions and health goals.
Sciatica Treatment
Sciatica treatment focuses on relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve using spinal manipulation, traction, and targeted stretches. This approach reduces radiating pain, numbness, and tingling while restoring nerve function and preventing chronic complications through non-invasive methods.
Scoliosis Treatment
Scoliosis management involves customized spinal adjustments, posture correction, and therapeutic exercises to alleviate pain and improve structural stability. While not reversing curvature, our treatments enhance joint mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and support better quality of life for patients with mild to moderate scoliosis.
Herniated Disc Treatment
Herniated disc care utilizes gentle spinal manipulation, decompression therapy, and muscle relaxation techniques to relieve nerve compression and inflammation. This holistic approach promotes disc healing, reduces pain, and restores functional mobility without surgical intervention.
Pregnancy Wellness Care
Pregnancy wellness care addresses musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy through safe, gentle adjustments. This service alleviates back pain, improves pelvic alignment, and supports optimal fetal positioning, enhancing overall comfort and preparing the body for labor and postpartum recovery.

Such a nice and lively atmosphere. Front desk staff were super welcoming and polite. The chiropractor himself was great. Felt immediate relief not even a full minute into the adjustments. Super great to feel and see noticeable improvements right off the bat.

Kalin and Veronica are gifted acupuncturists. Staff is always friendly, helpful, and understanding. I would not have survived the Covid shutdown without their healthcare!

Dr Ryan Smith might be a new addition to TCHC but I've relied on him for chiropractic services over the past 7 or more years. He has been instrumental in advising me about two serious back and leg conditions. His observations and insight have proved extremely beneficial when navigating other medical services. So beyond the regular assessments and adjustments that he does so well, his consulting and advisement is nothing but excellent.
