Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments restore joint mobility through diversified techniques including manual manipulation and instrument-assisted methods. This treatment addresses spinal misalignments causing pain, restricted movement, and nerve irritation. Patients benefit from improved posture, reduced inflammation, and enhanced nervous system function through personalized adjustment plans.
Pregnancy Care
Specialized prenatal care utilizes the Webster Technique and gentle adjustments to support maternal comfort during pregnancy. We address biomechanical changes from relaxin hormone effects and weight gain while ensuring fetal safety. Treatment focuses on pelvic alignment, sciatica relief, and preparing for optimal birthing positions through trimester-specific protocols.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Gentle pediatric treatments address developmental challenges in infants and children using non-force techniques. We help with feeding difficulties, torticollis, and postural issues through soft tissue work and spinal assessments. Care emphasizes nervous system development and musculoskeletal health while maintaining parental comfort and safety standards.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy delivers deep tissue healing through high-frequency sound waves for inflammation reduction and tissue repair. This modality effectively treats chronic injuries, muscle tension, and postpartum recovery by increasing circulation and breaking down scar tissue without invasive procedures.
Graston Technique
The Graston Technique uses specialized tools to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions through controlled microtrauma. This evidence-based method breaks down scar tissue adhesions while stimulating healing responses in muscles, tendons, and ligaments for improved mobility and pain relief.

Dr. Mike IS the best. We discussed my prior experiences with other chiropractors who were "crunchers", he knew what I was talking about and was already prepared! He prepares your body to receive treatment and is super gentle and extremely effective! I wouldn't go anywhere else!

As a person who has had various medical issues and as a person who is a HUGE skeptic of chiropractors, I can honestly say Dr. Mike Polanski is the kindest, funniest, efficient, patient, knowledgable, informative, doctor I have ever had or worked with. He has a great bedside manner and will always greet you with a warm welcome and smile. He will make you feel like he is your personal doctor. He has been treating me for different things but mainly Vertigo and cured it. He is the absolute best and has changed my life! I highly recommend him to EVERYONE!

Dr. Mike is thee best! He's truly and genuinely compassionate, kind and caring. He goes above and beyond to make you feel safe and comfortable. He listens! He customizes treatment according to what your body needs and he shows determination in making sure you are fully healed. If there's any pain that you're dealing with, any ailment that a doctor couldn't help you with I guarantee you Dr. Mike will. You will leave his office with your body feeling better and your mood lighter. Go to Dr. Mike, you deserve it.
