Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care addresses structural imbalances through manual adjustments, targeting low back pain, headaches, and sciatica. Using techniques like Diversified and Gonstead, we restore mobility and reduce nerve interference. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans that integrate rehabilitation exercises and nutrition counseling for comprehensive healing.
Pregnancy Care
Specialized prenatal adjustments alleviate back pain, sciatica, and nausea without medication. We use pregnancy-safe tables and gentle techniques to support spinal alignment, ease labor preparation, and improve maternal comfort. Postnatal care includes adjustments for both mother and newborn to address birth-related stresses.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology uses muscle strength testing to diagnose functional imbalances. By identifying weaknesses linked to organ systems or nutritional deficiencies, we create targeted treatment plans combining acupressure, supplements, and chiropractic adjustments to restore systemic harmony and reduce symptoms.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical decompression relieves herniated discs and sciatica using mechanical traction. Sessions on our decompression table gently stretch the spine to reduce pressure, promote disc healing, and improve nerve function. Patients typically require 15-20 sessions for lasting relief from chronic back conditions.
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage services treat chronic pain, sports injuries, and stress through techniques like deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and prenatal massage. Sessions enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and complement chiropractic adjustments to accelerate recovery and improve overall wellness.

Dr. Sostarich is amazing. I have had consistent neck pain to the point I was going to seek medication. When I first seen him for services the office was clean fresh and friendly. He has a kind and caring personality in the office and ready to help in all ways possible. He took the time to assess the situation and helped me tremendously. I highly recommended Dr. Sostarich.

Wow! Having someone examine the entire body and start from the beginning is a not a New way of Health however it is a New way to Care. Everyone is busy and no one has time yet in this practice He makes time. As a RN, I know how important it is to listen to the patient and ask questions that may bring more insight around a solution to heal the body. Always share what you are experiencing and even write questions down so they are not missed during a consultation. Bringing balance from the inside and the outside can do good in many areas. I would definitely choose Balanced Life Chiropractic and Wellness again and again.
