Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Manual adjustments correct spinal subluxations and joint fixations to relieve nerve pressure. Our technique restores proper alignment and mobility through controlled force applied to specific vertebrae. This treatment improves nervous system function and alleviates pain from musculoskeletal conditions while promoting natural healing processes.
Active Release Techniques
ART targets scar tissue and adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments through precise manual therapy. Certified practitioners use movement-based massage to break down restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. This patented technique effectively treats sports injuries, repetitive strain conditions, and chronic soft tissue problems with customized treatment protocols.
Therapeutic Massage
Customized massage therapy addresses both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions through targeted soft tissue manipulation. Our licensed therapists use various techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce nerve compression. Sessions focus on specific problem areas while promoting overall relaxation and stress reduction through holistic healing approaches.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared sauna sessions use penetrating heat to promote detoxification and muscle recovery. The therapy increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps eliminate toxins through deep sweating. This complementary treatment enhances healing between chiropractic sessions while providing relaxation benefits for overall wellness maintenance.
Preventive Care
Our preventive care approach combines regular chiropractic maintenance with lifestyle recommendations. Patients receive personalized exercise programs and ergonomic advice to prevent recurring injuries. This proactive strategy focuses on maintaining optimal spinal health, improving posture, and reducing the risk of degenerative conditions through consistent wellness practices.

Dr. Arvidson and his staff are top-notch. I moved from out of state and it was difficult finding a place that offered what I needed (chiropractic and massage) and with whom I was comfortable with. I cannot recommend this place enough. Everyone always has a smile and are helpful.

Dr Arvidson is AMAZING! He listens to what is going on and does everything he can to help. He's understanding, compassionate, and smart! Also, Tammy Manning is the BEST massage therapist. She listens to you about your problem areas and works hard to ease your pain. I look forward to every visit to Arvidson Chiropractic Center and highly recommend them!

We have saved time and money taking both of our daughters to Dr. Arvidson for continued Chiro care for treatment of recurring ear infections and he is GREAT with kids! I had major surgery and suffered a persistent, always dull (and sometimes stronger), tightness, pain and a limited range of motion in my right hip. During my first visit he discovered that my issue was one that Active Release Technique (ART) could correct.
I was feeling scar tissue and after the ONE visit I was feeling MUCH better! My range of motion is improving, the pain is nearly gone and my FitBit has even shown I'm sleeping better than I have in months! I am very grateful for the relief he has provided for my family!

Barry and the crew there are great. Courteous, friendly, professional, and competent. Can't ask for anything more. 2/25 UPDATE: saw Tammy last night and she was wonderful. Couldn't be better.
