Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Precise manual techniques restore proper spinal alignment and joint function to alleviate pain and improve nervous system communication. This treatment addresses musculoskeletal imbalances that contribute to chronic discomfort, headaches, and mobility limitations. Patients benefit from improved range of motion and reduced nerve irritation through targeted adjustments tailored to individual needs.
Cold Laser Therapy
Non-invasive cold laser therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair by stimulating cellular energy production. This FDA-cleared treatment promotes faster healing of soft tissue injuries while decreasing pain signals to the brain. Patients experience reduced swelling and accelerated recovery times for conditions like tendonitis, muscle strains, and joint inflammation without pharmaceutical intervention.
Corrective Exercise
Customized exercise programs strengthen weak musculature, improve posture, and enhance neuromuscular coordination to prevent recurring injuries. These evidence-based protocols address movement pattern deficiencies that contribute to chronic pain. Patients develop better body mechanics and functional strength through progressive resistance training and neuromuscular re-education techniques.
Nutrition Planning
Personalized nutrition plans optimize metabolic function and support musculoskeletal healing through targeted dietary interventions. This service integrates functional nutrition principles to address systemic inflammation and nutritional deficiencies affecting recovery. Patients receive practical meal planning strategies and supplement recommendations to enhance treatment outcomes and maintain long-term wellness.
E-Stim (TENS)
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) modulates pain signals and relaxes muscle tension through controlled electrical impulses. This drug-free therapy provides immediate relief for acute and chronic pain conditions by interrupting pain pathways to the brain. Patients benefit from reduced muscle spasms and improved circulation during recovery from injuries or surgical procedures.

For nine months, I lived with such severe back pain that I could not even accomplish simple day to day tasks (putting my shoes on, picking up something off the floor, changing my clothes). I am only 28 years old & walked as if I was 80. I went to doctor after doctor, tried physical therapy, & took every possible medication. Nothing worked. No one was listening. Dr. Potts listened -- He made me feel heard. He changed my life & today, I can do all the things I was able to do before my injury happened. I can't thank him enough.

I called Dr. Potts from work and he accomodated me during my lunch hour. I filled out the new patient paperwork and drove to his clinic. He restored my confidence in visiting a chiropractor because the place I tried a few months ago was more like a business and less like a professional practice. I was nervous. Dr. Potts years of experience allowed for a thorough analysis & effective treatment without any waste of time.
He combines traditional and modern techniques according to medical concerns that enable a successful outcome. I went to him in pain and walked out with relief. My neck, shoulders, and back were adjusted with minor adjustments. I went back to office and was asked by coworkers about this visit. They saw me before I visited Dr. Curtis Potts and after I returned. They will also take their family members who need care to Dr. Potts. He is courteous, easy to talk to, and centrally located. I will go again and recommend Dr. Potts to friends, colleagues, and associates.

This is how people should run their practice. Its a small office, the Dr runs it 100% by himself. He answers the phone 7 days a week. Monday - Friday but he will meet you at the office on the weekends if you are in pain. During the week he will adjust his hours to fit you in, on your schedule. Knowledgeable chiropractor with neurological training, fixed my back right up with only 2 follow up appointments. He is happy to take walk ins anytime.

I have suffered from back issues for over a decade. Dr. Potts performed a detailed evaluation of my entire body, not just my lower back. After the first adjustment I felt relief instantly. I haven't felt this good in years. Dr. Potts also doesn't push unnecessary adjustments. Very qualified and in tune with your issues an a person to person basis.

I had two bulging discs one of them was pinching my sciatic nerve making it almost impossible to walk. After one visit I could walk confidently most of the day and stay busy. With the second visit I am feeling so much better and can stand and sit up with less pain. I am so very happy I found Dr. Potts.

Dr Potts is truly amazing! I was scared because I have never been to a chiropractor. My upper back was in intense pain I couldn't sleep. I made my appointment Sunday and came in on Monday. It is now Wednesday and I feel almost no pain! He was very kind and took care of my upper back. I am now going to be a loyal patient from now on! Thank you so much Dr. Potts!

What a patient and kind man. I went in as a walk-in after attempting to do a summersault and really hurting my neck. He got me in quickly and was very nice and helpful. He works very quickly and I was shocked by how many people he could get through in the matter of a couple minutes while still giving everyone a personalized experience and answering everyone's questions with a caring and very professional demeanor.
He is very respectful of other chiropractors you have gone too and very welcoming of a team approach to healing. He is very well educated and has education far beyond the typical chiropractor. He fixed an injury I have suffered with for four years in seconds because of some post doctoral training he had taken that all the other chiropractors and doctors I had been to for it had no knowledge of. He is also very gentle and explains everything he is going to do before he does it. If you want a personalized experience from a very knowledgeable doctor with an impeccable bed side manner, this is the place for you!

Dr. Potts is a great guy. I was totally comfortable with him and the way he treated me from the first time I visited him. Amazing how much better I feel after an occasional visit with him. He's not the first chiropractor that I've been to in Reno, but I do get the sense from him that he wouldn't 'over treat' you as some chiropractors try to do. So, I go back to him as needed.

Went in for serious pain and extreme difficulty breathing he immediately could tell I had a rib that had popped out, he popped it right back in with no pain and I could finally breath again. His prices are affordable and he is very descriptive with what he is doing to fix the issue which I completely appreciate, I believe it I have walked out of plenty of doctors offices not realizing what they did to fix the problem. Thank you!

I had one of those irritating, painful pinched nerves that just wasn't going away. Decided to go to a chiro for help. Got referred to Dr Potts by a friend and frankly, liked the 'deal' he offered for first time customers. Happy in my selection! Not only did he take care of making me feel better quickly.he was professional, highly courteous and no bs (you know.how some chiro's tell you you need to come back 4 times a wk for months to fix your 'serious' problem? (My past experience anyway!) I did go back a couple of times to get back to 'normal' mobility.and will go back again next time I need a good back crack! Felt 100% comfortable w/Dr Potts skills and expertise!
