Services
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure to retract herniated discs and promote nutrient flow. This FDA-cleared treatment alleviates chronic back pain and sciatica by facilitating natural disc healing through cycles of traction and relaxation over 46 weeks.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Customized adjustments correct spinal subluxations using diversified techniques, including hands-on manipulation, drop tables, and activator tools. This service addresses neck pain, headaches, and joint dysfunction by restoring proper alignment and nerve communication for improved mobility and pain relief.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy increases blood flow and cellular metabolism to accelerate tissue healing and reduce inflammation. This non-thermal treatment safely alleviates pain from arthritis, sprains, and sports injuries while minimizing scar tissue formation without invasive procedures.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation delivers targeted currents to reduce pain, relax muscles, and promote healing for musculoskeletal injuries. Advanced machines adjust parameters dynamically during sessions, enhancing recovery from strains, post-surgery conditions, and chronic pain syndromes.
Nutritional Counseling
Dr. Todd provides personalized nutrition plans to address dietary deficiencies and support overall health. This service emphasizes natural, food-based supplements paired with dietary changes to complement chiropractic care and optimize the body's innate healing capabilities.

Dr. Todd and his staff are a GREAT bunch of people. Very friendly and caring. They will help you get back up on your feet and moving again. I've only been twice for my lower back pain and am already feeling much better. I would HIGHLY recommend them if your having any back or neck issues.

Dr. Todd is everything you would hope to find in any practitioner, a master of his craft, ethical, and empathetic. I really wish I had gone to Dr. Todd first before wasting my time with 2 other terrible chiropractors. If you live in Carroll County or close to it, TRUST ME this is the only place you want to come for chiropractic care.

I'd been in a car accident five or six years ago and hd been experiencing shoulder pain for years. One visit to Dr. Todd and I was able to lift my arm above my head for the first time in years. I've been going for three weeks now and have almost full range of motion again! Definitely amazing results! Thanks Dr. Todd!

After a fall injuring my arm and shoulder and suffering with excruciating pain, I decided to try chiropractic care. After two treatments with Dr Todd, I am amazed at the results. I just wish I done this sooner. Dr Todd is awesome, very knowledgeable. He explains in great detail the cause, effect and and treatment spending the time needed to do so and answering questions. For anyone enduring pain, it is worth a visit to Dr Todd. Once you go and have relief, you will look forward to each visit. He and his staff are very friendly and personable. It is a very pleasant and beneficial experience.
