Services
Upper Cervical Care
Upper cervical care focuses on correcting misalignments in the top two vertebrae of the spine. This precision technique alleviates nerve interference, improving communication between the brain and body. Patients experience relief from migraines, chronic pain, and systemic issues like acid reflux through gentle, targeted adjustments.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal function using non-invasive methods. By addressing subluxations, we reduce pain from conditions like sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome. This service integrates with nutritional guidance to support the body's natural healing processes and prevent future injuries.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutritional counseling creates tailored eating plans for weight loss and chronic condition management. We emphasize whole food nutrition and supplements like Standard Process products. Patients learn sustainable dietary habits to complement chiropractic treatments and enhance overall wellness outcomes.
Posture Screenings
Posture screenings identify spinal imbalances through visual and technological assessments. These evaluations detect early signs of misalignment affecting nerve function and mobility. Screenings at community events help prevent long-term health issues by recommending corrective exercises and chiropractic interventions.
Corrective Exercises
Custom corrective exercises strengthen muscles supporting spinal alignment. Patients perform these home-based routines to maintain adjustments between visits. The program improves posture, reduces pain recurrence, and enhances mobility for conditions like fibromyalgia and limited range of motion.

I highly recommend TLC! Have had a lifetime of major back and neck problems due to sports injuries. The care I've received at TLC has been revolutionary, to say the least. Those problems have been dramatically decreased and as a side benefit, I'm certain that my serious allergies have but disappeared as a result. I've been going to TLC for 10 years. Again, higly recommend!

Dr. Ben continues to amaze me with his insights into seeming cryptic puzzles and health enigmas. He knows ways to change root problems and find where health is hiding. His Blair chiropractic technique is life-changing. If you haven't been "Blaired", do yourself a huge favor; see Dr. Ben.
