Red Light Therapy
Our NovoTHOR Whole Body Light Pod delivers red and near-infrared light to reduce inflammation and manage chronic pain. This non-invasive treatment improves blood circulation, accelerates recovery, and promotes relaxation. Ideal for athletes and individuals with arthritis or muscle soreness, it offers drug-free pain relief through cellular-level therapy.
Chiropractic Care
Advanced spinal correction techniques address musculoskeletal issues without medication. Our approach combines traditional adjustments with modern methodologies for safe, effective pain management. Tailored treatment plans target acute injuries, chronic conditions, and preventive care for long-term wellness.

Traditional Chinese acupuncture uses fine needles to balance the body's energy flow and stimulate natural healing. This technique alleviates stress, chronic pain, and inflammation by triggering endorphin release. Personalized sessions address conditions ranging from migraines to fertility challenges.

I couldn't thank Dr. Pugh enough for being so kind and generous with all of his help! He truly cares about what your going through and is a wonderful listener! Dr. Pugh has the best bed side manner and makes ever effort to make you feel comfortable. I wasn't sure what to expect but I am so pleased with all three of my visits so far! I would recommend going for anyone who is having pain or issues. I just want to say thank you very much to Dr. Pugh for all that he has done!

As a current patient of Dr. Pugh I have to tell everyone he goes over and beyond for his patients. I am a nurse with a unpredictable schedule, so when it comes to scheduling appointments it's difficult for me to schedule a time due to my limited availability. Dr. Pugh understands that the life of a nurse during these times are challenging and we need self care. So with that being said I appreciate him for accommodating me and seeing me on short to very little notice. I highly recommend this doctor and I would give him 10 stars. Thanks Dr. Pugh for being a caring doctor. Candace D.
