Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care uses hands-on spinal manipulation to improve joint function and alleviate pain. This non-invasive treatment addresses musculoskeletal conditions affecting the back, neck, and extremities. Our certified chiropractors create personalized treatment plans combining adjustments with rehabilitative exercises to enhance mobility and promote natural healing processes.
Massage Therapy
Our licensed massage therapists employ various techniques to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation. This therapy complements chiropractic care by addressing soft tissue restrictions that affect posture and mobility. Sessions focus on specific treatment areas or full-body relaxation, incorporating myofascial release and deep tissue techniques to enhance treatment outcomes.
Prenatal Chiropractic
Specialized adjustments address the unique musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy. This care helps alleviate back pain, sciatica, and joint discomfort while maintaining pelvic alignment. Our practitioners use gentle techniques to support proper fetal positioning and prepare the body for labor, with documented success in reducing delivery complications.
Sports Rehabilitation
This service combines chiropractic adjustments with targeted rehabilitation for sports injuries. We address joint misalignments, muscle imbalances, and soft tissue injuries through active release techniques and therapeutic exercises. Our approach focuses on restoring optimal biomechanics to enhance athletic performance and prevent re-injury through sport-specific recovery protocols.
Senior Care
Gentle chiropractic techniques improve mobility and reduce pain in older adults. This care addresses age-related joint degeneration, maintaining spinal flexibility and nerve function. Our practitioners modify treatment approaches to accommodate individual needs, focusing on maintaining independence and enhancing quality of life through regular, low-force adjustments.

Love Dr. Phil at Bakke Chiropractic! I've been going to him for years and he's always been helpful for whatever ailment I bring to him-pinched shoulder, thrown out back, stiff neck. I would highly recommend for anyone considering chiropractic care.

Absolutely love Dr. Jill! We were referred to chiropractic care for my son by his OT doctor as he had torticollis. Dr. Jill did a great job of explaining every adjustment and stretch to make us feel comfortable. She was great with my son and her adjustments/stretches saved him from needing a helmet. Highly recommend her!

Report
I wound up with a rib out and went to this clinic. The receptionist was short with me throughout my visit. Saw one of the doctors who agreed I had a rib out, attempted to adjust me 3 times and said "I'm sorry I just can't get it", then sent me upstairs to pay $94! Apparently I got to pay for a physical that was not performed in the 9 minutes I was there. I did fill out my medical history so maybe they charged me for filling that out for them. My normal chiropractor would have attempted to loosen the muscles with heat, massage or something. Not here. Will not be back!

The staff and chiropractors are all very nice. Unfortunately, I don't know what I expected since this was my first time at a chiropractor. Even with good insurance, the treatments are expensive. Most of them consisted of a drop table getting used once or twice, and then I was out of there. The two hour evaluation for a 2-3 minute placebo once a month just wasn't doing it for me. I just paid off my last statement, and now I'm done for good. Just go and exercise. You will feel much better building muscle naturally.

Dr. Phil is hands down the best chiropractor I have ever been to. I have a highly physical job that takes a toll on my body. But thanks to Dr. Phil I deal with less pain and feel better overall. Regular adjustments keep my body in tiptop condition. Besides being highly skilled, Dr. Phil is tremendously knowledgeable, compassionate, and personable. I would recommend his work to anyone.
