Services
Diversified Technique
This manual adjustment method targets restricted spinal joints to restore proper motion and alignment. Our chiropractors apply precise thrusts to improve biomechanics and nervous system function. Patients benefit from reduced pain and improved mobility through this evidence-based approach that addresses specific vertebral misalignments.
Activator Methods
Using a handheld instrument, we deliver controlled low-force adjustments for precise spinal corrections. This technique suits patients preferring gentle treatment or requiring targeted adjustments. The activator tool ensures consistent force application while minimizing patient discomfort during the correction process.
Cox Flexion-Distraction
This table-assisted technique gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. We use specialized equipment to create therapeutic openings between vertebrae, effectively reducing symptoms from disc herniations and spinal stenosis through non-surgical decompression therapy.
Foot Levelers
We provide personalized orthotic solutions to address biomechanical imbalances originating from foot dysfunction. Custom-molded inserts help correct postural compensations that contribute to back and neck pain. This service improves overall structural alignment through targeted foot support and pressure distribution.
Nutritional Counseling
Our practice offers personalized nutrition advice to complement chiropractic treatments and enhance overall wellness. We develop customized dietary plans and supplement recommendations to support musculoskeletal health and optimize patient recovery outcomes through holistic lifestyle modifications.

Hello from Albania! I reeeeeeally miss you all! The staff at DeGraw Chiropractic completely spoiled me, setting the bar quite high for service and care. I haven't found a Chiropractor or Chiropractic clinic in Europe to match Dr. Degraw's skill and care or the rest of the staff members' welcoming personalities. You all have such a good thing going and I wish you the best for many years to come. Gezuar!

Great office staff, experienced chiropractors, and clean facility. Dr. Fensterer usually gets me in and out in 20 minutes. I've never had to wait beyond my scheduled appointment time. I wish all of my doctors had office staff like this!

Report
Went to this "doctor" due to back and leg pain from June to August of this year. I was told that my leg pain was not sciatica, even though 2 medical doctors confirmed that it was. I also experienced no pain relief during this period. I was also told that my insurance would cover most of the treatments, although I ended up paying close to $650 out of my own pocket.
