Services
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly spinal misalignments. Our evidence-based adjustments correct posture, alleviate nerve compression, and restore joint function. Patients experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced overall wellness through customized treatment plans.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy employs targeted exercises and manual techniques to improve strength, flexibility, and movement efficiency. We address post-injury recovery, postural imbalances, and chronic pain by rebuilding functional capacity. Patients gain long-term resilience and reduced re-injury risks through guided, progressive rehabilitation programs.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves inserting fine needles into trigger points to release tight muscle bands and reduce inflammation. This technique improves blood flow, alleviates tension, and accelerates healing. Patients with headaches, back pain, or sports injuries often see rapid relief when combined with chiropractic adjustments.
Posture Correction
Posture correction addresses chronic pain from poor alignment through targeted exercises and ergonomic guidance. We identify muscular imbalances contributing to slouching or spinal strain. Patients learn corrective techniques to maintain proper posture during daily activities, preventing future discomfort.
Active Rehabilitation
Active rehabilitation combines movement-based therapies and strength training to restore physical performance. We focus on retraining muscles and joints after injury or surgery. Patients regain confidence in daily tasks and sports through progressive, goal-oriented programs tailored to their lifestyle.

I've been totally delighted with my experience with Dr. Proano and his dedicated staff and repeatedly find he and his staff offer the best possible chiropractic care. Dr. Proano is gifted with practical knowledge and insight and extremely effective techniques that he offers with compassion in every visit. I've been going to Chiropractors for past 25 years but it has been challenging finding the right practitioner and office and believe I've found the right Chiropractic care here and I strongly recommend this team. Bravo and thank you!

I was only in town for about a week and as soon as I landed I got on the internet to look for a chiropractor. Vitality Chiropractic had good reviews, they were able to get me in fairly quickly, and they were located pretty close to where I was staying. I'm very happy with the care I received and the friendliness of the staff. They were very accommodating and the treatment was exactly what I needed.
I will seek them out for an appointment any time I return to this area. They did a fantastic job all the way around. Norma (at the front desk) was incredibly nice and took the time to explain the pricing as well. Incredible service and phenomenal staff!
