Services
Chiropractic Care
Our Doctors of Chiropractic use multiple techniques - including traditional manual adjusting, Drop Table, and computerized Pulstar instruments - to realign the spine and alleviate pain. With personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs, we address conditions ranging from chronic back pain to sports injuries using gentle, non-invasive methods. This approach improves mobility, reduces inflammation, and supports the body's natural healing processes without drugs or surgery.
Decompression Therapy
This specialized therapy uses controlled computerized traction to target problematic spinal segments for patients with disc conditions. Effective for low back pain, sciatica, and neck injuries, the treatment gently creates negative pressure in discs to promote healing. With proven success in treating herniated and bulging discs, decompression therapy offers lasting relief through non-surgical spinal decompression sessions performed in our clinic.
Acupuncture
Certified by the Ohio Medical Association, our acupuncture services treat chronic pain, migraines, and injury recovery through targeted stimulation of specific body points. As one of the first 100 chiropractors in Ohio certified in acupuncture, Dr. Erin Gallaher applies this evidence-based technique to address conditions from anxiety to work-related injuries using time-tested methods that complement chiropractic care.
Cold Laser Therapy
The PainAway system uses cold laser technology to accelerate tissue repair and manage chronic pain conditions. By improving circulation and reducing inflammation, this non-thermal treatment enhances recovery from injuries while stimulating the immune response. Our 20+ years of experience with this drug-free therapy has proven effective for accelerating wound healing, reducing swelling, and managing both acute and chronic pain conditions.
Auto & Work Injury Clinic
Certified through the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, our specialists handle auto accident and workplace injury cases with expert evaluation and treatment. We guide patients through insurance paperwork while providing specialized care for trauma recovery, including spinal alignment and soft tissue rehabilitation. This dedicated clinic treats work-related injuries and auto accident trauma under Ohio's 'your choice of doctor' law, ensuring direct access without referrals.

I have never been to a chiropractor before this visit. I just turned 49 years old and wanted to get checked out as this office was highly recommended. I did not need much in the way of adjustments, but the staff was courteous, respectful and made me feel welcome and attended to. Dr. Gregg was fantastic at explaining everything he did prior to doing anything and explained what it would help. I highly recommend them and will continue here for my care.

My family has been extremely happy with the care we receive at Mantonya Chiropractic. Dr. Gregg helped with hip and back pain I was experiencing during all three of my pregnancies and now that our three kids are grown and active in multiple sports we know we can rely on Mantonya Chiropractic to help keep them healthy.

Dr. Gallaher was awesome! He was thorough and explained everything in terms I could easily understand. He was professional and listened attentively and I'm finally feeling relief from my back and neck pain. I would recommend Dr. Gallaher and Mantonya Chiropractic to anyone in need of chiropractic services. To top it off I also received a lovely flower for Mother's Day from the reception people on my way out. Super good experience!
