Spinal Adjustment

Spinal adjustments are our primary focus of care.  We also incorporate specific spinal structural rehabilitation to support the adjustment and reduce the return of spinal subluxations. 

Therapeutic Laser Therapy (TLT)

TLT is the application of infrared light to aid in the reduction of pain in acute injuries and in cases of  chronic arthritic pain.

TLT utilizes infrared emitting diodes to penetrate beneath the surface of the skin to drive healing energy into the tissues.  The main therapeutic effect of the laser is to stimulate the repair and healing process of an injury or wound.  It has also demonstrated the ability to significantly accelerate and enhance the body’s   defenses while reducing the pain.  The effect is called Photobiomodulation.

Photobiomodulation is a positive chemical reaction that occurs in the mitochondria of the cell that will  increase the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).  ATP is the main energy source in the cell.     Increasing ATP production will increase the cell’s ability to fight infection and accelerate the healing     process.  The stimulation of the mitochondria also stimulates the release of Nitric Oxide (NO).  Nitric Oxide (NO) increases circulation, decreases inflammation and enhances the transport of oxygen and immune cells throughout the injured tissues.  The introduction of infrared light affects the modulation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).  ROS activates a process that will positively impact cellular repair and healing. 

Spinal Decompression Therapy

The Back on Trac (BOT) decompression table gently stretches your spine to relieve pressure on the spinal discs, increase mobility, and reduce pain– all in a relaxing 15-minute session.
