Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal misalignments to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. Using evidence-based techniques, we treat conditions like neck pain, back pain, and headaches. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and enhanced overall wellness through our non-invasive approach.
Physical Therapy
Customized physical therapy programs help patients recover from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions. Our four licensed therapists use manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities like ultrasound to restore function. Treatment plans emphasize patient education and home exercise programs for long-term recovery and injury prevention.
Laser Therapy
Class IV Laser Therapy accelerates tissue repair by increasing cellular energy production. This non-thermal treatment reduces pain and inflammation for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and sports injuries. Patients experience faster healing through deeper tissue penetration compared to traditional therapies, with most sessions lasting 10-15 minutes.
DOT Physicals
FMCSA-certified DOT physical exams ensure commercial drivers meet federal health requirements. Conducted by Dr. Briggs, these 30-minute evaluations include vision, hearing, blood pressure, and musculoskeletal assessments. Most drivers receive their DOT Medical Card immediately after completing the exam at our accessible first-floor office.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans address dietary needs related to pain management and overall wellness. Our approach combines clinical nutrition expertise with practical meal planning strategies. Patients learn how proper nutrition supports tissue healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances treatment outcomes for musculoskeletal conditions.

I had lower back pain for years that had a major impact on the quality of my life. Dr Briggs has helped me where I no longer live in pain and my overall posture has improved. He's the best!

Report
I've been a patient here for years after being referred by my brother who was receiving treatment himself for a work related injury. The staff here is very professional and the chiropractic treatment by Dr Briggs has kept my injuries, and age related wear and tear, at a minimum so I can walk and function pain free in my everyday life. Just a few months ago I suffered a debilitating muscle spasm in my lower back and was back to normal following one treatment and a few days of cautious attention on my part. I am more than satisfied with the service here and would recommend to anyone.
