Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care specializes in spinal adjustments to improve alignment, alleviate pain, and enhance nervous system function. This non-invasive treatment addresses chronic back and neck pain, headaches, and joint issues through manual manipulation. Patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and natural healing without drugs or surgery, supported by evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy treats herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease using computer-controlled traction to relieve nerve pressure. This painless procedure creates space between vertebrae, allowing discs to reposition and heal naturally. Patients experience reduced pain and improved function through a series of sessions, avoiding surgical interventions while restoring spinal health and mobility.
Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy delivers targeted infrared light to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation in soft tissues. Effective for arthritis, sports injuries, and chronic pain conditions, this non-thermal therapy enhances blood circulation and accelerates healing. Patients receive customized treatment plans using calibrated wavelengths to address specific injuries, achieving pain relief and improved tissue regeneration without invasive procedures.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to treat chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, and musculoskeletal pain. The non-invasive treatment stimulates blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and promotes natural healing in affected areas. Patients benefit from accelerated recovery for conditions like tennis elbow and heel spurs, with sessions requiring no downtime while restoring mobility and reducing pain.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services combine manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and electrical stimulation to restore mobility and function after injury or surgery. Tailored programs address neck/back pain, sports injuries, and postural imbalances through science-based interventions. Patients learn corrective exercises and receive education on preventing future injuries, ensuring comprehensive recovery that improves quality of life and physical independence.

Honestly, just go. this place is the best. Everyone cares about you and wants to see you feel better. They are flexible with scheduling if anything comes up and always help me out even if the changes are last minute. I have seen dramatic improvement in my neck pain and I have been going since September 2021

I've gone here to help fix my frozen shoulder, so far it is going great, I'm feeling progress. They have already gotten me walking without pain, I had a bad ankle for two years and felt like I was walking on a ball bearing, Dr Ricks took matters into his hands and got me walking without pain in two sessions!

Bought a groupon for a massage and adjustment. They "accidentally" billed my insurance company. Now Im stuck waiting for them to retract the billing so I can use the visit to my regular chiropractor. Of course its at the end of the year so It probably wont happen in time for me to use it. If you buy a groupon I would suggest not giving up your insurance card, they will ask but its just to hard sell you on more visits. And on top of that when he adjusted my back nothing even moved. He was barely even using any force. The traction made my sciatic act up not go away.

The Advantage Spinal Dynamics team is great. Dr. Ricks and Dr. Trachsel are both excellent and caring! Dr. Ricks's has a lot of great knowledge and expertise to help with more complicated issues with spinal discs and nerves. I had a few issues in regards to scheduling at my first couple appointments, but Dr. Ricks was very kind to explain and resolve the issue quickly. I would highly recommend them especially if you are on the verge of back surgery or steroid injections. Check with Dr. Ricks first, as you may be able to recover without invasive treatment.
