Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal misalignments to alleviate nerve pressure and improve mobility. This hands-on treatment addresses back pain, neck pain, and joint issues through controlled thrusts to spinal joints. Patients benefit from reduced pain, improved range of motion, and enhanced nervous system function. The treatment combines traditional techniques with modern engineering principles for precise adjustments.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve disc pressure and promote healing. This non-surgical treatment addresses herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc conditions by creating negative pressure that encourages disc rehydration. Patients experience reduced nerve compression symptoms and improved spinal function through this targeted decompression approach.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release targets connective tissue restrictions causing chronic pain and limited mobility. This hands-on technique addresses trigger points and fascial tightness that contribute to referred pain patterns. Patients benefit from improved tissue flexibility, reduced pain signals, and enhanced recovery through this specialized soft tissue manipulation.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to accelerate soft tissue healing and reduce inflammation. This modality improves blood flow, breaks down scar tissue adhesions, and enhances cellular repair processes. Patients with tendonitis, muscle strains, and joint inflammation benefit from accelerated recovery and improved tissue elasticity through this advanced physical therapy.
Nutrition Guidance
Our nutrition guidance provides personalized dietary recommendations to support musculoskeletal health and overall wellness. This service focuses on optimizing nutrient intake for tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and weight management. Patients receive practical meal planning strategies tailored to their specific health goals and nutritional requirements.

I saw Dr. Crawford after a car accident which left me with pain in my neck and upper back. He gave me exceptional treatment for about 3 months, answering all of my questions and giving me advice for post-treatment. He's also very funny, and made me feel comfortable. As a student at UIUC, Dr. Crawford was very flexible with my schedule. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford if you need a chiropractor!

I had torn rotator cuff surgery on my left arm. Both Christie and Carle therapy tried doing rehab on my shoulder to no avail. Only Dr. Crawford was able to return my shoulder to where I can return to work! He actually worked on the whole complete shoulder taking me through all forms of movement instead of just rotation! After 2 months of therapy I was able to lift over my head, able to pick up electric motors again! I can't thank Dr. Crawford enough for giving me back my ability to return to all normal activities with out pain! He is the best!

I came to Dr. Crawford after a car accident and was in severe pain. I've been seeing Dr. Crawford for about 9-10 months and it has quickly became my favorite part of the week. Dr. Crawford went above and beyond in treating me and helping me heal. If it weren't for him I would be in severe pain every single day. Dr. Crawford's treatment has drastically improved my quality of life.

I've been going to Dr. Crawford for sometime now for an accident I was involved in back in October of 2020. When I first started coming I was in so much pain I couldn't stand longer than 10 minutes at a time before my back would start to ache. Dr Crawford has been a blessing to me and other I know who use his services, he got me back to normal in no time. If you're looking for a great chiropractor who knows what he's doing and knows what to look for, Dr. Crawford is the guy for the job I wish I wouldn't of wasted my time with meaningless therapy elsewhere. Thanks a million Dr. Crawford.

Dr. Crawford is Very Knowledgeable & Knows What is Best For Your Back! Have Been Experiencing a Bulging Disc in the Lower Back Since the December of 2020. Dr. Crawford Suggested Slight Adjustment & Spinal Decompression Sessions. I Must Say I Feel Absolutely Amazing After Each Session. I Am on Session 4 of 12 and My Lower Back Pain Has Gotten Better By 20%-30% So Far. I Schedule For 3x a Week and The Price is Very Affordable! I Would Recommend Dr. Crawford 10/10.

Dr. Crawford is a very friendly guy which took me a back at first. I'm used to a very clinical experience. However, the moment he started adjusting me I've never been happier. I've never had a chiropractor adjust me so well. I will say that after my first experience I wasn't sure so I went to several different chiropractors in the area and man none of them could do even close to what Dr. Crawford can do! It's like magic. I'm been seeing him for about 8 months now and I'm very happy.
