Back Pain Treatment
Our back pain treatment combines chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and rehabilitative therapy to address disc issues, muscle strain, and nerve compression. Targeting root causes, we improve mobility and reduce inflammation through non-invasive methods. Patients experience long-term relief and restored function with personalized care plans tailored to injury severity and lifestyle needs.
Sports Injury Treatment
Sports injury treatment focuses on accelerated recovery from sprains, strains, and joint trauma using neuromuscular reeducation and soft tissue therapy. We specialize in restoring range of motion and strength for athletes. Red light therapy integrates with chiropractic care to enhance tissue repair and reduce soreness, enabling faster return to peak performance without medication reliance.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy gently alleviates pressure on intervertebral discs through targeted traction, ideal for herniated discs and sciatica. This non-surgical technique creates space for discs to rehydrate and heal, reducing nerve irritation. Patients report significant pain reduction and improved spinal alignment after completing a series of sessions.
Massage Therapy
Licensed therapists deliver massage therapy to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery from injuries. Techniques like trigger point therapy and deep tissue work address chronic pain and postural imbalances. Sessions integrate with chiropractic adjustments to optimize musculoskeletal function and provide lasting relaxation.
Auto Injury Treatment
We specialize in auto injury treatment for whiplash, back strains, and soft tissue trauma using PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage. Care plans combine chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and rehabilitative exercises to restore mobility. Our expertise in documenting injury progression ensures patients receive comprehensive care aligned with insurance requirements.

Report
Dr. Lathrop and his staff are fantastic - the best I've used in 30 years of back pain from sports injuries and excessive sitting in the office. What I like about him is two fold. He's a knowledgeable man, who genuinely cares for his patients and staff. He wants to understand what's going on with the mechanics and how it makes you feel, what provides relief, etc. The other thing that I appreciate about Dr. Lathrop is that he doesn't over do adjustments.
I've been to other practices where it felt like they were focused on getting the maximum adjustment. Dr. Lathrop has a calming presence and works soft tissue, and explores range of motion before making any adjustment. All said, the results that I get from him feel better and seem to last longer. I highly recommend going in to see Dr. Lathrop.
