Services
Chiropractic
Chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment and nervous system function to alleviate pain and improve overall health. Our approach combines manual adjustments with advanced diagnostics to address musculoskeletal issues. Patients benefit from non-invasive treatments that enhance mobility, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing processes without medication.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting energy flow and healing. This traditional Chinese medicine technique effectively treats chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions. Our practitioners integrate modern understanding with traditional methods to optimize treatment outcomes and patient comfort.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology combines muscle testing with functional medicine to diagnose and treat health issues. This integrative approach identifies imbalances through neurological and biomechanical assessments. Patients receive targeted treatments addressing structural, chemical, and emotional factors affecting their wellness.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy manipulates soft tissues to relieve pain, reduce stress, and improve circulation. Our techniques target trigger points and muscle tension while promoting relaxation and recovery. Regular sessions enhance flexibility, decrease inflammation, and support overall musculoskeletal health through hands-on therapeutic treatment.
Nutritional Evaluation
Nutritional evaluation identifies dietary deficiencies and creates personalized supplementation plans. We analyze functional medicine markers to address systemic imbalances affecting energy and health. Patients receive guidance on whole-food nutrition and lifestyle changes to optimize bodily functions and long-term wellness.

Report
I was complaining of a headache on my right side temple and Dr. Erdmann put 1 needle in my hand and the pain was instantly gone. Amazing, He also helped my back pain, energy and sleeping issues before this. I am happy to have found Dr Erdmann and all of his tools.

Dr John is a caring and thorough chiropractor and acupuncturist. His office provides a variety of modalities including massage therapy to bring a total health perspective. Dr John doesn't just focus on physical health but also mental/emotional health because they are so deeply interconnected. Highly recommend!

Dr. John Erdmann is amazing! He works so well with me by explaining his thought process as he makes adjustments to the body. Knowledgeable and very nice. I highly recommend him if anyone in the area needs a chiropractor!

I have been going to Dr. John for over 10 years to help me maintain not only my back and neck, also my body, brain and heart! My aches diminish, and my spirits rise after a session.
