Services
SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave TRT therapy uses unfocused shockwaves to stimulate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and relieve chronic pain. Ideal for treating neuropathy, sports injuries, and joint conditions, this non-invasive method promotes healing without surgery or medication. Patients benefit from improved mobility and long-term pain relief through a series of targeted sessions.
Spinal Adjustments
Precision spinal adjustments correct subluxations, alleviating nerve interference and restoring proper function. This service addresses back pain, headaches, and posture issues while enhancing overall nervous system performance. Techniques prioritize comfort, avoiding twisting or forceful manipulation for safe, effective results.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Specialized chiropractic care for infants and children focuses on developmental health, addressing birth trauma, ear infections, and postural imbalances. Gentle adjustments support optimal nervous system function, promoting growth, immunity, and lifelong wellness in young patients.
Digital X-Ray
On-site digital X-rays provide high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis of spinal misalignments, fractures, and joint conditions. This technology enables precise treatment planning while minimizing radiation exposure and eliminating the need for film processing.
Cranial Care
Cranial adjustments correct misalignments in skull bones to improve cerebral spinal fluid flow and nervous system function. This technique addresses migraines, TMJ disorders, and developmental delays by restoring balance to the craniosacral system through gentle, targeted corrections.

I used to suffer from chronic back and neck pain along with GI issues. After seeing Dr. LaBarbera I finally have my symptoms under control and in just a couple months I am feeling like my old self again. Pain free and full of energy after suffering for over two years with no definitive direction from mainstream medical professionals. I cannot say enough about how great this office is and how much they have all helped me tremendously with my overall well-being. I would highly recommend anyone considering chiropractic care to call LaBarbera Family Chiropractic. You will not be disappointed.

Report
After 2 different Chiropractors and chronic back pain, a coworker recommended going to Dr Joe. The staff did a full assessment and helped me understand the root of my pain. Over the weeks I have regained mobility and pain is essentially gone thanks to Dr Joe's adjustments and guidance. I highly recommend LaBarbera Family Chiropractic to anyone seeking back/neck/spine help.
