Spinal Decompression

Our spinal decompression therapy targets disc herniations and spinal stenosis using state-of-the-art Triton DTS tables. This non-invasive treatment gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on nerves, promoting natural healing. Ideal for patients seeking alternatives to surgery, it effectively reduces back and neck pain while improving mobility through targeted traction techniques.

Sports Injury Care

Specialized treatment for sports-related injuries combines Graston Technique, myofascial release, and rehabilitative exercises. We address conditions like rotator cuff injuries and tennis elbow through customized recovery plans. Our approach accelerates healing, restores function, and prevents future injuries by focusing on soft tissue repair and biomechanical optimization for athletes of all levels.

Preventative Care

Monthly maintenance adjustments and moist heat therapies help sustain spinal health and prevent chronic conditions. This proactive approach strengthens the body's defense system, reduces recurring aches, and maintains mobility. Patients benefit from improved posture, reduced stress on joints, and enhanced overall wellness through regular, personalized chiropractic interventions.

Sciatica Treatment

Targeted therapies for sciatica include Cox Technic distraction manipulation and PIR stretches to alleviate nerve compression. We address symptoms like radiating leg pain and numbness caused by pinched nerves or herniated discs. Treatment plans integrate spinal adjustments and posture correction to relieve pressure and restore normal nerve function for lasting relief.

Headache Relief

Our headache management combines cervical adjustments, muscle relaxation techniques, and posture analysis to address tension and migraine triggers. By correcting spinal misalignments and reducing muscle tension, we help decrease frequency and severity of headaches. Patients receive ergonomic advice and stress management strategies to complement in-office treatments.

As with many, my experience started with a phone call. Best first impression EVER! The staff was courteous, efficient and FUNNY! They quickly got me set up for a new patient visit and I was lucky enough to have an appointment within a couple days. I arrived 15 min early and only waited 5 min before being escorted back to a room. I did not wait more then 5 min there either, so was actually seen before my appointed time!

I was scheduled with Dr. Topor who went through some preliminary questions regarding lower back pain. He was quickly able to pin point the issue, make some corrections and provide me with some simple stretches to contradict what I am doing to my spine. Dr. Topor was confident that with those stretches I would be able to continue and self-treat the pain but offered me to schedule a single follow-up if I wanted.

I did schedule and the second visit was as efficient as the first. Over the week prior to that second visit my pain had drastically reduced and is continuing to get better. If I ever find myself in any back pain again, this is the place I'm calling! Dr. Topor and the staff are so enjoyable to work with! Do yourself a favor and give this practice a shot!

Being a new mom, I've had several issues with tight muscles and recently experiencing jaw, neck, face pain. I saw dr. topor and he was not only understanding, listened to my needs & concerns, he was empathetic towards my issues, had great insight on postpartum care & was relatable. Just one visit in and I felt so much better, more hopeful, excited about receiving treatment to relief my pain & can't wait for my next visit!

Made an appointment almost 2 weeks in advance, on the day of my appointment I get a call requesting to change my time to another day (a week out) because the doc wasnt in and it was an hour before i had to be there. Very disappointed as im still in pain with no remedy and then a phone call right before i practually left my home. Very unprofessional, never been there before, bad first impression.

I have been a patient for over 5 years and I love it there. Dr. Matthew Topar is phenomenal. He is patient, understanding and a great listener. He works hard to assure you feel better. The office staff is great too.

I have seen Dr. Topor for several years and he is truly a miracle worker. I love everything about the Rochester Chiropractic Group from the location, office and staff. I would highly recommend checking them out for any pains or preventive chiropractic care. I have been also seeing Dr. Topor throughout the entire 3rd trimester of my pregnancy and it has made such a difference.

I saw Dr. DeSandis for long-standing back issues in the past. He was able to determine the source of the problem and with a few changes in my exercise routine, my back pain has vanished. The extra stretches he gave me I still do 2 years later! I appreciate how he looks at the whole situation rather than just trying to address your symptoms. I have gone to other chiropractors in Rochester that I would not frequent again. Highly recommend the Rochester Chiropractic Group!
