Chiropractic Care
Customized spinal manipulations restore joint function and alleviate pain. Our evidence-based approach addresses biomechanical issues, muscle imbalances, and nervous system interference. Patients receive thorough evaluations followed by targeted adjustments using diversified, Thompson, or instrument-assisted techniques. Ideal for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries, this care improves posture, mobility, and overall wellness through non-invasive methods.
Dry Needling
FDA-approved treatment for chronic muscular pain targets trigger points with ultra-fine needles. Stimulates natural healing responses in tight muscles, reducing inflammation and improving range of motion. Effective for shoulder, hip, and lower back issues, this technique breaks pain cycles and enhances physical therapy outcomes. Typically produces noticeable improvements after 1-4 sessions without requiring medication.
LASER Therapy
Advanced low-level laser therapy accelerates tissue repair using FDA-cleared technology. Promotes cellular energy production to reduce pain and inflammation while enhancing recovery from sprains, strains, and arthritis. Non-thermal treatment stimulates microcirculation and mitochondrial function, making it ideal for post-injury rehabilitation and chronic conditions affecting joints and soft tissues.
Sports Chiropractic
Specialized care for athletes prevents injuries and enhances performance through biomechanical analysis. Combines joint adjustments, muscle activation techniques, and movement pattern corrections to optimize athletic function. Addresses sports-specific injuries while improving flexibility, coordination, and recovery times. Maintains peak physical condition for both professional and recreational athletes.
Graston Technique
Metal tool-based soft tissue mobilization breaks down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. Treats conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and muscle strains through controlled microtrauma that stimulates healing. Improves range of motion and reduces chronic pain by restoring proper tissue texture and function during active rehabilitation programs.

Dr. Calhoun is, without a doubt, the best chiropractor in the region. I've worked alongside Michael providing sports medicine services. Of all the providers I've worked with, he is number one.

I have been experiencing elbow pain due to a chronic tendinosis for over a year. I'm so grateful for Dr. Calhoun & the cutting edge shock wave therapy he has treated me with that has me on the road to pain free living. Chris

My upper back was really hurting to the point some days were extremely uncomfortable. My visits to Dr. Calhoun has helped reduce the pain significantly. I am so happy I decided to go to him.

I am sincerely grateful for Dr. Calhoun and the team at Calhoun Chiropractic. I greatly appreciate that I can call over and usually be seen that same day for a quick adjustment whenever I start to feel off. The front staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming both over the phone and in person, and Dr. Calhoun is attentive, thorough, and highly skilled. I always leave feeling far better than when I walked in.
Not only does he provide me with instant pain relief, but gives me quality recommendations and detailed answers to any questions I have. So far in the time I have been seeing him, I have been able to not only alleviate my chronic lower back pain, but noticeably improve my slouchy back posture as well as fix my "duck walk" foot positioning, both of which I have had since childhood. Thank you, thank you!

The Doctor seems to know his stuff but was unsuccessful in helping me. After seven visits there was nothing more he could do for me except suggest PT. It bothered me intensely that the treatment bench was next to his office desk which looked like a tornado had hit it. It was in total disarray, piled with a messy assortment of files, cards, papers, etc. I wondered how the doctor could keep track of patients when he lacked basic organizational skills. It did not instill confidence of him with me.

Report
After tearing my quad tendon at the end of July, I had surgery in August 2020. Then, I had to go to physical therapy to rehab the knee. As I was favoring the right leg, I changed the way I walk and began having severe back spasms. One day, I couldn't even get up the stairs without excruciating pain! After several weeks, I decided to visit Dr. Calhoun and was still in a lot of pain at that time. After the first visit, I was no longer having back spasms.
What a relief! I continued to see Dr. Calhoun, and Donna at the front desk (who is very nice) would place me on a table and a drum rolled up and down my back for about 15 minutes before seeing the doctor for the adjustments. Today, I can finally say I am cured! Can not recommend this practice highly enough - 5 stars - Thank you Calhoun Chiropractic!
