Chiropractic Care
Our advanced chiropractic techniques correct spinal misalignments and alleviate pain through precise manual adjustments. This non-invasive treatment improves nervous system function while addressing back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved posture, and enhanced mobility. With specialized equipment and years of expertise, we create customized care plans targeting individual conditions while emphasizing preventive wellness through regular adjustments.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression uses computer-controlled traction to gently relieve pressure on herniated discs and compressed nerves. This FDA-cleared therapy promotes nutrient flow to damaged discs while accelerating natural healing. Effective for sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and chronic back pain, our DRX9000 system creates negative disc pressure to rehydrate discs and reduce bulges. Most patients experience significant improvement within eight weeks of consistent treatment sessions.
Cold Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy accelerates tissue repair through targeted light wavelengths that stimulate cellular energy production. This non-thermal treatment reduces inflammation, increases circulation, and promotes faster recovery from sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. Combined with chiropractic care, it effectively treats tendonitis, sprains, and chronic pain while improving range of motion without medication or invasive procedures.
Acupuncture
Our licensed acupuncturist uses fine needles to stimulate specific points and restore energy flow throughout the body. This ancient practice effectively addresses pain management, stress reduction, and systemic health issues like allergies and digestive disorders. By balancing the body's meridians, acupuncture improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes natural healing for conditions ranging from migraines to chronic pain.
Sports Injury Care
Our sports injury specialists combine soft tissue therapy with laser treatment to accelerate healing from athletic trauma. Custom rehabilitation programs incorporate targeted exercises to strengthen affected areas while restoring full functionality. We address common injuries like sprains, strains, and tendonitis through non-invasive techniques that reduce swelling, improve mobility, and prevent re-injury through personalized recovery plans tailored to each athlete's specific needs.

I have had a great experience at the office; I've been receiving acupuncture and chiropractic care for the past several months and I have seen a drastic improvement in the areas that once caused me discomfort. I recommend checking Dr. Alex's office if you are considering receiving chiropractic care.

From the minute I walked in I felt comfortable and in safe hands. The doctors and staff are welcoming, friendly, and know how to put your mind and pain at ease. Thank you so much for your help in my painful recovery. Thank you Office staff Jireh, Johanna, and Janill. The Therapist Luis and Vivi. And of course Dr. Hernandez.
