Services
Concussion Management
Our concussion management program utilizes evidence-based protocols from Complete Concussion Management Inc. to assess and treat traumatic brain injuries. We provide pre-season baseline testing, post-injury rehabilitation, and return-to-play evaluations for athletes. The program includes vestibular rehabilitation, neurocognitive testing, and personalized recovery plans to ensure safe return to daily activities.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic services address musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments and complementary therapies. We treat general back pain, neck pain, and sciatica using techniques tailored to each patient's needs. Care includes posture analysis, spinal decompression, and integrated manual therapy to improve mobility and reduce pain without relying solely on adjustments.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy services focus on restoring function and reducing pain through targeted exercises and modalities. We offer treatment for sports injuries, work-related injuries, and chronic conditions. Our approach combines therapeutic exercises with technologies like cold laser therapy and shockwave therapy to accelerate healing and improve long-term outcomes.
Pre-Season Testing
Our pre-season testing program provides comprehensive baseline assessments for athletes to help manage potential concussions. Using multimodal testing, we measure neurocognitive function, balance, and visual processing to establish individual benchmarks. This data helps guide safe return-to-play decisions following head injuries and ensures appropriate recovery timelines.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy treats disc-related conditions through non-surgical traction techniques. This service addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain by creating negative pressure between vertebrae. Combined with other chiropractic treatments, it helps alleviate nerve compression and promote natural healing of spinal structures.

I highly recommend Dr. Hoy of Confluence Chiropractic! He has a wonderful bedside manner. He listens to his patients and uses his vast knowledge to come up with a treatment plan that works for each person. My lower back and neck are feeling so much better because of his expertise and kind and caring nature. His office staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating. Again, I am very pleased to recommend Dr. Hoy and Confluence Chiropractic.

Report
I went to see Dr. Hoy on a recommendation for sciatica pain down my right hip and leg that has been very painful for the last couple months. It has even affected my ability to walk my dogs. My regular doctor did X-rays and said everything looked fine. Dr. Hoy was able to stretch and loosen the muscles and then adjusted me and I walked out of the office pain free. He also taught me the best stretches to do in between visits. He was gentle and caring and definitely the best chiropractor I've ever been to. Highly recommended!

Report
I recently had back surgery to relieve nerve pain caused by a herniated disc, and have been dealing with residual muscular tightness/pain. In my first visit to Confluence Chiropractic, Dr. Hoy took time and care to learn my medical history and provide the perfect combination of muscle work and decompression to get me back to feeling my best. Clean office, great staff, and a knowledgeable Doctor. I'll be back!
