Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders through manual adjustments. This non-invasive approach addresses back pain, neck pain, and joint issues by restoring proper alignment and function. Patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced pain, and enhanced nervous system communication, making it effective for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
PiezoWave Therapy
PiezoWave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. This FDA-cleared treatment promotes blood flow and cellular repair without surgery or medication. Patients experience reduced inflammation and pain relief through targeted, non-invasive sessions lasting 15-20 minutes each.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves for herniated discs and sciatica. This non-surgical treatment improves nutrient exchange to damaged areas while promoting natural healing. Most patients achieve significant relief after 6-10 sessions combined with complementary rehabilitation exercises.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This traditional practice effectively reduces chronic pain, muscle tension, and stress-related conditions by improving energy flow and nervous system function. Sessions often combine with other therapies for enhanced treatment outcomes.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation for various musculoskeletal conditions. This non-thermal treatment accelerates healing in soft tissues and joints while providing pain relief without medication or invasive procedures. It's particularly effective for treating arthritis and sports injuries.

I was very uncomfortable with my body, having pain that was nagging me constantly. I saw an ad on facebook so I ask for consult and started treatment which has left me calm, cool, and collected. I just feel so much better and without all the medication.

I was very pleased with the chiropractic services that I received during my first visit. I will definitely become a regular patient. Dr. Rachel also treated my 3 month old great granddaughter with great results. I would highly recommend Freeman Chiropractic to anyone seeking chiropractic services.

After suffering from lower back pain for months and not wanting surgery I decided to try decompression. After just a few visits the pain had lessened considerably. I finished the treatment and I have been pain free for over a year now. Dr. Horn and his staff and wonderful. They take the time to listen and to get to know their patients. You couldn't find a better place to go!
