Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use precise manual techniques to realign spinal joints, alleviating pressure on the nervous system. This restores proper mobility, reduces pain from disc issues or injuries, and enhances bodily communication. Patients experience improved function for back pain, neck stiffness, and extremity joint problems through personalized adjustment schedules.
Therapeutic Modalities
We employ advanced therapeutic modalities like electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and cold laser treatments to complement adjustments. These technologies reduce inflammation, relax muscle tension, and accelerate healing for acute injuries or chronic conditions. Combined with movement therapy, this evidence-based approach addresses sports injuries and repetitive strain effectively.
Nutritional Counseling
Our nutritional counseling provides tailored dietary recommendations to support musculoskeletal health and overall wellness. We address inflammation management through food choices, vitamin supplementation plans, and hydration strategies that complement chiropractic care outcomes for patients seeking long-term health improvements.
X-Ray Services
On-site x-ray services enable immediate assessment of spinal alignment, joint integrity, and bone health. This diagnostic tool helps identify structural issues causing pain or mobility limitations, ensuring accurate treatment planning for conditions like degenerative disc disease or postural imbalances through precise imaging interpretation.
Exercise Programs
Customized exercise programs strengthen supporting musculature, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries. We teach patients movement patterns to enhance posture, core stability, and joint function at home, creating sustainable wellness results that complement regular chiropractic maintenance.

I love Hillcrest Chiropractic Associates! I was skeptical about the whole chiropractic idea and had never gone to a chiropractor, but my husband encouraged me to go because of my constant headaches growing up. Dr. Johnston quickly put me at ease and explained everything. I've now been going for a couple of years regularly and have no more constant headaches and can definitely tell a difference!

Having had back problems most of my adult life, Dr. Johnston is always able to keep my back aligned. You will always be welcomed to a warm friendly office. If you want a hands on alignment, I highly recommend Hillcrest Chiropractic.
