Services
Chiropractic Care
We provide manual and instrument-assisted spinal adjustments to restore motion, alleviate pain, and improve nervous system function. Our diversified and Cox Flexion-Distraction techniques address disc issues, sciatica, and chronic back pain. Patients benefit from customized plans that combine adjustments with therapeutic modalities for long-term results.
Functional Neurology
This service evaluates and treats neurological conditions through non-invasive assessments of balance, vision, and movement patterns. We use BTracks balance testing, video-oculography, and RightEye diagnostics to create rehabilitation protocols for concussion recovery, Parkinson's symptoms, and coordination issues. Treatment integrates sensory stimulation and targeted exercises.
MLS Laser Therapy
Our patented MLS robotic laser system delivers anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects for chronic pain conditions. This FDA-cleared therapy accelerates tissue repair and improves circulation without medications. It's used for arthritis, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, and neuropathic pain, with protocols tailored to individual healing timelines.
Motion Guidance
Using JTECH Tracker technology, we assess spinal motion, range of motion, and joint function with digital precision. This data informs treatment adjustments and tracks progress over time. Patients receive visual feedback about their biomechanics and recovery milestones, enhancing engagement in their rehabilitation process.
Functional Medicine
This service addresses underlying causes of chronic illness through personalized nutrition, hormone balancing, and gut health optimization. We conduct comprehensive lab testing to identify imbalances in detoxification, immunity, and metabolic pathways. Treatment combines dietary protocols, supplements, and lifestyle modifications for conditions like autoimmune disorders and metabolic syndrome.

Report
Dr. Friedman is a miracle worker, seriously though! I've been dealing with back pain my whole adult life and have visited various specialists and medical professionals without ever reaching a solution. It only took Dr. Friedman 10 minutes into our first appointment to identify the issue and immediately provide relief. Since then, he has developed and implemented a plan to tackle my back pain and so far, it has worked tremendously! I am so thankful for Dr. Friedman and his awesome team. If you're looking for results, professionalism, and a place that will make you feel welcome, go to RightSPINE Chiropractic+.

Report
Dr. Friedman does it again. About a month ago I pulled out my back so severely that I had to take time off from work and was in pain 24/7. After multiple visits using all of his therapies (manipulation, ultrasound, EMS and MLS laser) I can honestly say I am on day 8 of being 100% pain free. Everyone at the office is caring, kind and will bend over backwards to help you. I can honestly recommend Right Spine for all your health and wellness needs (and they don't just do backs, the laser therapy healed my plantar fasciitis about a year ago)

I reached out to Dr. Friedman when I strained my lower back. I had been in pain for weeks before I finally accepted that I needed to see someone - three weeks of care and I'm feeling brand new! Dr. Friedman was attentive and alleviated the pain almost immediately. He's friendly, knowledgable and professional. He, along with his staff, were very flexible - even offering to see me on off times/days to be sure I didn't go in pain. I highly recommend RightSPINE to anyone in need of chiropractic care!

I first went to Dr Friedman for back pain from trying to lift something too heavy. Within 3 weeks of excellent treatment my back felt back to normal. I also had Laser therapy treatment right after surgery for a torn rotator cuff. When I went for my first physical therapy appt. 2 weeks after surgery they told me I was already ahead of where I should be at 6 weeks. The Laser therapy clearly worked for me! Dr Friedman is extremely knowledgeable in his treatments!

Couldn't recommend Dr. Friedman and the RightSpine team more, i went in for pain in my upper back that had lingered for a few months after i strained it. He immediately laid out what we could do and got to work. After a couple of months of visiting, the initial pain has disappeared and i've seen many other improvements in my day to day. On top of that Dr. F and team are genuinely great to work with, quick, easy, prompt and efficient all around.

Not all herniated disk need surgery sometimes a really good chiropractor is all that is needed and Dr. Friedman is the best. Ive been in so much pain for weeks from a herniated a disk, i thought surgery was the only solution until Dr. Friedman started helping me out. My pain went from a 10 to a 2 on the same day Thank you so much
