Decompression Therapy
Decompression Therapy targets disc-related pain through specialized tables and computerized traction. By gently stretching the spine, it relieves pressure on nerves, addressing bulging discs and sciatica. This non-surgical approach improves mobility and reduces pain for lasting relief.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART) resolves muscle and tissue injuries through precise manual manipulation. It breaks down scar tissue and restores function in overused muscles, effectively treating headaches, plantar fasciitis, and sports injuries with targeted, movement-based therapy.
Gonstead Technique
The Gonstead System delivers precise adjustments using five diagnostic criteria, including X-ray analysis. Designed to correct subluxations and improve nerve function, this method ensures safe, effective care for spinal alignment and structural health.
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy alleviates pain and tension through deep tissue work, myofascial release, and neuromuscular techniques. Our licensed therapists tailor sessions to enhance adjustment outcomes, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation for holistic wellness.
Athletes Care
Athletes Care optimizes performance with tailored adjustments and soft tissue treatments. Designed to prevent injuries, speed recovery, and improve mobility, this service supports athletes of all levels through non-invasive, sports-specific chiropractic strategies.

Report
My family and I have been coming to Dr. Short for years. He is very professional, and courteous. He is timely, and when the appointment times are backed up, the staff will let you know. The staff are great, talkative, and very fun. You can tell they love their job. The rooms are clean, and the waiting room is comfortable with a small play area for little kids.
