Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine to alleviate pain, muscle spasms, and nerve irritation. This safe, non-invasive treatment improves mobility and prevents reliance on medications or surgery. Patients benefit from customized plans combining manual adjustments, Activator techniques, and therapeutic exercises.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses sterile needles to stimulate healing points for pain relief and wellness. Effective for migraines, anxiety, and chronic conditions, this ancient practice balances energy flow. We offer Chinese, Korean, and auriculotherapy methods tailored to individual health goals.
Battlefield Acupuncture
Battlefield Acupuncture delivers quick pain reduction through ear needle placement. Developed by the military, this technique targets acute and chronic pain without drugs. It's particularly effective for veterans and patients with fibromyalgia or arthritis when combined with traditional therapies.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy creates suction to relax muscles and improve circulation. This adjunct treatment reduces inflammation and speeds recovery from injuries. Patients with back pain or sports-related strains often combine cupping with chiropractic adjustments for enhanced results.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves gentle skin scraping to relieve muscle tension and promote healing. This technique improves range of motion and reduces chronic pain symptoms. When paired with acupuncture, it enhances treatment outcomes for conditions like neck stiffness and shoulder pain.

Dr. Bruce has helped my husband and myself relieve the pain we were in. My husband had to hold his head up because his back was out of alignment. He saw Dr. Brue twice and he was able to keep his head up on its own. I have osteoarthritis and have bad backaches. He helps me every time I see him. Joyce and Dr. Bruce are the best.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Rachum for years. He is great! We always look forward to our monthly appointments and he has always accommodated any urgent visits. We always leave feeling great. He has helped with our headaches and back pain that we experience from our desk jobs. We highly recommend him.

I have been going to Dr Rachum's office for as long as I can remember. It is a family run business and the nicest most honest people ever! I go for chronic pain that is helped immensely by his treatment and every once in awhile he helps me with a sports injury. My wife says I am too old to play sports but with Dr Rachum around I believe I can play on forever! To be honest 5 stars is not nearly enough!

I have been going to Dr. Rachum for over 13 years. I feel like I am under the care of a close family member when I am there. His practice, has helped me to manage a very challenging physical job. I am very thankful to him and the individuals I have had the pleasure of dealing with on his staff. I have gone from wearing back belts to a black belt in Martial Arts thanks to him. I am healthy and physically sound. Without the support of any over the counter or prescribed medications, thanks to him.

I was in horrific pain, I have had back pain since I was 16. Dr. Rachum was able to give me instant relief. He took my insurance without an issue and was able to tell me my responsibility of the cost quickly. No issues in that area. I see him regularly and he fits me in quickly when I need him to. Thank you Dr. Rachum.

I have been going to Dr. Rachum for over a year and since day one I have received excellent treatment and care. Always getting a warm welcome from Joyce, and leaving with my back feeling as light as a feather. My back has improved a great amount since I have started going here. I would recommend Dr. Rachum to anyone looking for exceptional chiropractic care.

Pain is not a way to live! I had an incredibly long driving commute which had irritated my lower back. Dr. Rachum has helped me with both Chiropractic care and by suggesting some simple exercises to keep the muscles loose. Once I started to see the positive results, I referred my Mom over to see him. She suffers from multiple spinal issues and she also has seen some significant pain relief. I can't stress enough what a positive impact his practice has had on my family's life.

I have been going to Dr Rachum for years, in the beginning I didn't believe acupuncture would help. But a combination of acupuncture and light stretching that he does keeps me out of pain and able to do so much more. Excellent, relaxing music playing usually puts me to sleep while I get my treatment. Great people and they work with your insurance. A+

Dr. Rachum is a amazing. Every time I leave, I feel great! I get great service, my insurance covers his fees and I don't have to wait. BEST EVER! Just a follow up. I continue to be very happy with Dr. Rachum and the quality of care. I've since tried acupuncture for some other issues and am thrilled to find some long-term issues being resolved through this treatment. Thank you!
