Chiropractic Care

Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed workdays in America and a leading cause of disability worldwide, yet many back pain complaints are not effectively treated. Numerous peer-reviewed studies point to chiropractic care as one of the safest and most effective treatments for back pain. We offer a variety of adjustments and therapies tailored to the individual, including Flexion-Distraction therapy, structural correction, the Activator technique, Thompson Drop, and myofascial treatments, as well as acupuncture and massage. We do not prescribe unnecessary treatments or extended care plans, only what you need to get back on your feet.

A herniated or slipped disc in the low back can be painful and debilitating, often from a seemingly minor injury. Classic signs include pain radiating from the back into the legs, often with numbness in the same area. Flexion-Distraction adjustments are mild and more tolerable than other types of chiropractic adjustment in cases of severe back pain, and the gentle traction can relieve pressure and irritation on injured discs to speed recovery. Prompt care matters, since disc injuries are a common reason for back surgeries, and early treatment can greatly improve your odds of a full recovery without surgery.

Pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands, arms, and wrists, including waking up at night with numbness, can be signs of carpal tunnel. We evaluate your symptoms to determine their source and customize treatment to relieve your pain. Often the problem lies not in the wrist but further up in the elbow, shoulder, or even the neck and upper back. By combining adjustments, therapies, myofascial release, and acupuncture, we can address symptoms and treat the root cause.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. When it becomes aggravated or inflamed, it can cause pain at the heel or across the bottom of the foot, from causes such as adhesions, a dropped arch, or an autoimmune condition. By combining laser therapy, myofascial release, and adjustments, we can improve function of the area and reduce pain and inflammation, often in just a few visits.

Tension headaches, the most common type, are related to stress, muscular tension, and often poor posture, typically starting in the back of the head and moving into the temples and behind the eyes. Chiropractic care, massage therapy, and acupuncture can all help address the underlying muscular tension, rather than just masking it with pain relievers.

Hormonally linked headaches are common for women around their monthly cycle or during menopause. Assessing hormones can help control abnormal fluctuations and ease headache pain along with other symptoms.

Migraines are severe headaches caused by vascular dysfunction, often triggered by specific, individual factors. A thorough evaluation of possible triggers, including food sensitivities or hormonal fluctuations, is key to successful management. Chiropractic care and acupuncture have a strong track record with all types of headaches, and treatment is most effective when started between migraines or very early in an episode.

Whether it's a sprain, strain, overuse injury, or something that just isn't healing the way it should, chiropractic care can help athletes at every level recover and get back to what they love. We combine adjustments with myofascial release, Class IV laser therapy, and neuromuscular taping to reduce inflammation, restore range of motion, and speed recovery, along with guidance on rehab exercises to help prevent the injury from coming back.

Numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in the hands or feet can be signs of peripheral neuropathy, often related to nerve irritation, poor circulation, or an underlying metabolic issue. We evaluate what's driving your symptoms and build a plan that may combine chiropractic care, Class IV laser therapy, and functional lab work to address both the nerve irritation itself and any contributing causes.

Sciatica is pain that radiates from the low back down through the hip and leg, usually from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. Flexion-Distraction therapy is especially effective here, gently relieving pressure on the nerve without the thrust of a traditional adjustment, and is often paired with myofascial release or laser therapy for faster relief.

Whether it's from an old car accident, poor posture from a desk job, or sleeping wrong, neck pain responds well to chiropractic care. We assess the joints, muscles, and soft tissue of the neck and upper back and build a treatment plan, which may include adjustments, myofascial release, and neuromuscular taping, to reduce pain and restore normal motion.

As your body changes throughout pregnancy, shifts in posture and pelvic alignment can bring on new or worsening back and hip pain. Dr. Hayley Nick is Webster Certified and focuses on gentle, pregnancy-safe adjustments that support pelvic balance and comfort throughout every trimester, with an eye toward optimal fetal positioning as you approach delivery.
