Chiropractic Adjustments
Precision spinal adjustments correct vertebral subluxations using hands-on Gonstead methodology. Our technique relieves nerve interference, restores mobility, and improves nervous system function. Patients experience reduced pain, better posture, and enhanced overall wellness through biologically informed realignment.
Gonstead Method
Advanced Gonstead spinal analysis combines X-ray, thermography, and motion palpation for targeted adjustments. This evidence-based approach addresses root causes of pain through segmental disc assessment and mechanical correction, offering lasting relief from chronic conditions.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized rehabilitation for golf and other sports injuries through biomechanical analysis and targeted adjustments. Treatments accelerate recovery from joint pain, muscle strains, and performance-limiting conditions while preventing future injuries through structural optimization.
Pediatric Care
Gentle spinal evaluations and adjustments for children address developmental concerns and postural imbalances. Early intervention supports healthy nervous system development, addressing issues from birth trauma to growth-related spinal stress with non-invasive techniques.
Pain Management
Drug-free pain management using spinal thermography and X-ray analysis to identify nerve interference sources. Custom treatment protocols address migraines, sciatica, carpal tunnel, and other chronic conditions through targeted subluxation correction and postural retraining.

Fixed me and my dad, embarrassed to say since he's twice my age! Ultimately it doesn't matter, young or old my back was is bad shape from years of bad lifting habits, etc. My father also had a bulged disc in his back. Happy to say we both are good as new. The gonstead method in which he uses is very specific and only applied to the individual, not a blanket adjustment. Great alternative to try before surgery. If he can't fix you he will tell you. Good luck!

The best diagnostic analysis I've had experienced. I will gladly return to regain mobility that I've lost from standing on my feet, lifting my arms and leaning over to shampoo clientsas a hairstylist for 37 years.

I was a bit worried about seeing a Chiropractor. I have dealt with back pain for years. It was effecting my body everywhere. Exercise was hard due to pain. My husband brought me to his guy. I guess he got tired of me fussing about my back. I was a bit scared. Well let me tell ya, I look forward to my visits now. Each visit makes me feel better and better. I will tell ya. if you are unsure about going. Just do it. I don't know what took me so long. i could have been pain free for years. Do yourself the favor. SO WORTH IT.
