Conditions We Help Treat
Chiropractic care isn’t just about “cracking backs.” It’s about restoring balance, improving function, and helping your body heal naturally. Here are some of the most common conditions we see:
Back and Neck Pain
If you spend long hours at a desk or carry heavy loads, chances are you’ve felt the strain in your back or neck. Gentle adjustments restore alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and help you move more freely.
💡 Quick tip: Adjust your computer screen so the top is at eye level to prevent neck strain.
Headaches & Migraines
Tension headaches and migraines often start in the neck and shoulders. By improving posture and easing nerve interference, chiropractic care can reduce both frequency and intensity.
Sciatica, Numbness & Tingling
Sciatica pain shoots down the leg when nerves are pinched in the lower back. Our spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure so nerves can function normally again.
Herniated Discs, Scoliosis & Posture Issues
Posture affects everything — from energy levels to joint health. We provide corrective care and exercises to retrain your body into a healthier alignment.
Arthritis & Joint Pain
Arthritis doesn’t have to mean limited mobility. With gentle adjustments and movement-based therapies, many of our patients experience less stiffness and better range of motion.
Pregnancy, Hip & Knee Pain
Prenatal chiropractic care is safe, gentle, and effective for relieving discomfort during pregnancy. It can also support easier delivery by keeping the pelvis properly aligned.
Nutrition, Weight Loss & Detox
Chiropractic care works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle. That’s why we offer functional nutrition support, helping patients with simple, sustainable steps to feel their best.
