Tahoe City Chiropractic

Chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting vertebral subluxations to restore nervous system function. This natural approach addresses mechanical spinal issues causing pain and mobility limitations. Our technique combines precision and gentleness, using both traditional methods and advanced technologies. Patients experience improved range of motion, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness through regular adjustments tailored to their specific needs.

Cold laser therapy uses low-level light to stimulate cellular healing and reduce pain. This non-invasive treatment targets musculoskeletal conditions by improving circulation and decreasing inflammation. We employ the MR4 Ultra Super Pulsed Laser system, proven effective for treating joint pain, muscle strains, and nerve-related discomfort. Patients typically notice immediate improvements in mobility and pain levels following treatment sessions.

Radial Pressure Wave Therapy accelerates healing through acoustic wave technology. This treatment effectively addresses chronic musculoskeletal conditions by stimulating blood flow and breaking down scar tissue. We customize treatment intensity based on patient tolerance and specific injury patterns. Most patients achieve significant pain relief and improved function within 3-6 sessions, avoiding surgical interventions.

Our exercise rehabilitation programs combine movement analysis with corrective strengthening techniques. We develop personalized routines to address muscle imbalances, improve core stability, and enhance functional mobility. The program integrates flexibility training with neuromuscular re-education to prevent recurring injuries. Patients learn self-management techniques to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health.

Our weight management approach combines nutritional guidance with lifestyle modifications. We create individualized plans incorporating dietary recommendations, exercise routines, and behavioral strategies. The program emphasizes sustainable changes rather than temporary solutions, focusing on metabolic health and body composition improvements. Patients receive ongoing support to achieve and maintain healthy weight goals.

Dr. Tim and Shaw at Tahoe City Chiro are the best in town! I've been seen by Tim for over a year now to manage back and neck pain as well as chronic migraines and I am so grateful for his service! Dr. Tim is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and has a natural and instinctive healing touch. He provides amazing adjustments, advice, exercise tips and other healing modalities to bring the body back to balance.

He is very open to you asking for what your body needs and telling him when something is still not right. Tahoe City Chiro is like family to everyone and they really will help your body heal and recover.

Hands down one of the best doctors I have ever been to. And I have had the privilege of going to some of the best doctors in the country. He is incredibly effective and very kind.

What an amazing team! I managed to injure my back while on vacation and the team at Tahoe City Chiropractic saved me big time. They were very flexible in their approach to treatment and I feel like they went over and above, compared to previous chiropractors I had seen. I only wish I could see them more often as I am confident that they would help me in achieving long term goals for my health and fitness. Thanks Dr Alix, Sha & Dr Tim!

Thrilled to finally make it here. I have a Chiro in the Bay and a place in Tahoe. Bummed I never came to this place when I lived right around the corner! Dr. Tim Schroeder offers multiple types of adjustments, which is great. I prefer being manually adjusted with the pleasing pops. Activator for my jaw. It was very easy to schedule, and to make last minute changes. The staff is all very nice and accommodating. I've always had luck with mountain town doctors, dentists, etc. and I certainly was happy going here.

Your first get-to-know you session is about an hour and each session after could be as short as 15 minutes. I went two days in a row for this awful tingling/numbing in my left arm. He found some good spots and used a massage took around my shoulders where the pain was radiating. Definitely recommend this place for anyone that needs an adjustment. I plan on keeping both chiros consistently throughout my year. They take Cigna at minimum!

Went to see Dr. Tim for a lower shoulder issue from the gym yesterday. I walk out feeling 100 percent better after some cold laser treatment and a adjustment. Exactly what I needed to feel better and ease the pain. Thanks Tim!
