Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve function. Our practitioners use sterile needles to release tension in areas like neck, back, and shoulders, complementing chiropractic adjustments. This technique benefits patients with sports injuries, chronic pain, and postural imbalances.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression alleviates disc-related pain through motorized traction that reduces pressure on spinal discs. Ideal for herniations and sciatica, this non-surgical treatment promotes healing by creating negative disc pressure. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced nerve compression symptoms.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine addresses root causes of chronic conditions through personalized plans incorporating nutrition, lab testing, and lifestyle modifications. We treat gastrointestinal issues, food sensitivities, and autoimmune disorders using evidence-based interventions tailored to each patient's unique health profile.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore joint mobility and nervous system function through manual spinal manipulation. Our techniques address neck/back pain, headaches, and sports-related musculoskeletal issues. Regular adjustments improve posture, reduce inflammation, and enhance nervous system communication.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation combines therapeutic exercises and modalities like ultrasound to restore strength and mobility after injuries. Custom programs target specific impairments from sports trauma, surgeries, or chronic conditions. We focus on functional recovery to prevent re-injury and improve daily living activities.

I was desperate with some help with an ear ache, sinus pressure and headaches. Dr Jon was able to squeeze me in and I felt immediate relief! The next day, I woke up headache free and my ear didn't feel clogged anymore! He knows what he's doing and takes the time to explain everything.

Dr. Alvarez is amazing! He has helped me with so many muscle and joint injuries from my active lifestyle, and I tell everyone he allows me to keep doing it. I love his style, in that he takes the time to explain why I'm experiencing the pain, which is often times unrelated to where the pain is. I have referred so many people to him, and often hear the feedback that he helped when others have not.

Dr. Alvarez is fantastic! I've been a patient for over 5 years. I am always needing a tune-up since I'm so active. Dr. Alvarez is very knowledgeable and always takes the time to make sure to address any problem joints/body areas. I highly recommend him to all of my friends and family.

Dr. Alverez is the best around, I used to suffer from chronic headaches and back pain. Since seeing Dr. Alverez I have not had one headache, and have returned to being active! He's very kind and well informed. I learn something new on each visit.
