Services

Spinal Manipulation

Gentle manual therapy to correct spinal misalignments and relieve nerve pressure. We use precise techniques to improve mobility and reduce pain for conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Our approach emphasizes patient comfort while restoring optimal spinal function through controlled force application.

Therapeutic Modalities

Advanced treatment options including electrical stimulation, ultrasound, cold laser therapy, and temperature therapy. These modalities help reduce inflammation, promote healing, and manage chronic pain conditions. We customize combinations to complement manual adjustments and accelerate recovery processes for musculoskeletal injuries.

Rehabilitation Programs

Customized core stabilization and strengthening programs to improve posture and prevent recurring injuries. Our rehabilitative approach focuses on building muscular support around treated areas, enhancing treatment longevity, and improving overall physical resilience through guided exercise therapy.

Soft Tissue Techniques

Specialized methods addressing muscle tension and soft tissue restrictions. We combine myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and stretching techniques to relieve muscle spasms, improve circulation, and restore normal tissue function. These gentler options work well for patients preferring non-thrusting adjustments.

Ergonomic Training

Personalized guidance on posture correction and workspace ergonomics to prevent pain recurrence. We assess daily activities and recommend modifications to reduce physical stress, particularly for office workers and individuals with repetitive strain issues, promoting long-term musculoskeletal health.

I have been dealing for years with neck/shoulder tension and headaches. I was hesitant to go to a chiropractor because of the stories you hear about having to lock in several visits and payments before the doctor even starts treatment. NOT THE CASE with Dr. Schmid! On my first visit she told me the goal was to teach me self management. The day after that first treatment Dr Schmid called me personally to see how I was feeling, I was impressed!

In less than 2 months I am 100% and I now have the tools to counteract any stiffness/tension. I'm very appreciative for Dr Schmid changing my perception of chiropractic therapy. Thank you to her and to the kindness and helpfulness of the staff!

Contacted my insurance company and was told they were in network with them. I called and gave them my contact info and as soon as the office found out my type of insurance and that I wasn't from newtown proceeded to say "we aren't accepting new patients unless from newtown" seems very discriminatory based on financial status.

I first went to Dr. Schmid in November of 2020 with headaches and pain in my hip that - strangely - was giving me pain in my shin. I've been to plenty of chiropractors before because of my slight scoliosis, and Dr. Schmid is the chiropractor I'm most comfortable with by far. She's very up front about the treatment plan, and her goal is to see you less and less! I'm very impressed with my progress just 3 months later.

I'm now only seeing her once a month. I used to be very focused on my discomfort, but now I don't even think about it. As Dr. Schmid told me, "the body remembers what normal feels like". If you have pain, please go!

I went to Dr. Schmidt with a tricky neck injury that was not healing for months despite seeing other non-chiroractic practices. I was concerned about having my neck manipulated and I expressed all my concerns. Dr. Schmid listened to me and was very cautious, had me get x-rayed to do a thorough evaluation. I've been in her care now for six months and have a near total recovery. She's amazing.

Amazing. I was dealing with an 8 year long injury and drs kept telling me it is what it is but she did a few adjustments and the difference is amazing. I wish they had recommended this 8 years ago. It would have saved me many years of discomfort.

I would highly recommend Dr. Schmid. I have been seeing her for many years. She has always helped me with my back issues and has allowed me to be more physical and to be pain free. Whenever a problem occurs, the office is always able to accommodate and help me. I would highly recommend Dr. Schmid.

I have worked with Della since 1988. She is a remarkable DR. She is caring and concerned about my health. My flexibility and energy is due to the Chiropractic treatment I receive from Della. Thank you Della for keeping my joints in such good shape. I am soon to be 75 but I feel like I am in my 50ths.
