Services

Spinal Adjustments

Our manual spinal adjustments correct vertebral subluxations through precise techniques. This restores proper nerve function and alleviates pain from misalignments. Patients report improved mobility and reduced discomfort after treatment sessions tailored to their specific conditions.

Mechanical Traction

This non-surgical treatment gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs. Mechanical traction helps treat herniated discs and sciatica by creating space between vertebrae. Sessions incorporate gradual decompression cycles monitored by trained professionals.

Pain Management

We address acute and chronic pain conditions through integrated chiropractic approaches. Treatment plans combine adjustments, traction, and rehabilitative exercises to reduce inflammation and improve function. Our methods target sources of pain rather than temporary symptom masking.

Posture Correction

Comprehensive assessments identify postural imbalances affecting spinal health. Customized corrective programs include ergonomic training, strengthening exercises, and regular adjustments to maintain proper alignment and prevent future issues.

Wellness Programs

Our wellness initiatives focus on maintaining optimal spinal health through regular checkups and lifestyle guidance. Patients receive personalized nutrition advice, exercise recommendations, and stress management techniques to complement ongoing chiropractic care.

Dr. Pensa is awesome, and so easy to talk to with great communication skills. He answered all my questions, his staff is wonderful, I couldn't have asked for a nicer doctor and health care professionals, he is so worth it, all the way around, he still cares about his patients and gives them the one on one everyone wishes they could get from any medical care worker these days. I was so impressed! Thank you for the exceptional care and service you and your staff provided me!

I was referred to Dr. Pensa after a car accident in early July, 2019. Today (September 16, 2019) was my last day of treatment and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Pensa, Gianna and Arlene. They were always very kind, helpful, compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable and accommodating. I always felt welcome, well cared for and secure throughout the course of my treatment. The care I received at University Chiropractic was superior!

I am healing nicely and am feeling much better. I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of chiropractic services, Dr. Pensa and his team are truly the best! Thank you Dr. Pensa, Gianna and Arlene for amazing care, I appreciate all you did for me and wish you all the very best!
