What We Offer

What is a Vertebral Subluxation?

In chiropractic, a vertebral subluxation is a pattern of neurological dysfunction in the spine affecting three things: 

  1. Misalignment: or altered positioning is present.
  2. Fixation or Restricted Motion: leads to reduced range of motion and overall movement and alters proprioception
  3. Neurological Interference & Imbalance: the combination of misalignment and restricted motion (altered proprioception) disrupts and alters neurosensory input into the brain, leading to interference and imbalance within the nervous system.

 

The key difference between what medicine calls a subluxation and what chiropractic calls a subluxation is focus.  Medical subluxation emphasizes structural displacement requiring repositioning.  Chiropractic subluxation emphasizes neurological dysfunction requiring specific adjustments to restore optimal nerve function.

Vertebral subluxations occur in everyone  and they occur frequently from any physical, chemical, or emotional stress.  Because they occur frequently, we suggest that people have their spines checked on a weekly basis (and adjusted as necessary), unless our examination indicates otherwise. 

 

Our Techniques & Specialties


We offer a comprehensive range of techniques and therapies to address your individual needs, including:

  • Spinal Posture, Screening, & X-Rays: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception.  Spinal screenings can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being.
  • Chiropractic Techniques:  We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing “state of the art” chiropractic techniques.  Chiropractic care can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness.
  • Corrective Exercises: We teach our patients how to perform special ligamentous exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body, which may be linked to pain.
  • Lifestyle Advice: While our chiropractor will address each patient’s specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to “coach” our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle, aligned with our Sacred 8 Principles of Health.

Pre and Post-Natal Care

Prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care is tailored to ease discomfort, improve alignment, and support you and your growing baby.  We include lower-force adjustments tailored for pediatrics.

Pediatric Adjustments

Our office is designed with families in mind. Kids experience stress too—from growth spurts, falls, screen time, and busy schedules. Gentle adjustments can support healthy development, sleep, digestion, bed-wetting, ear infections, focus, and overall well-being.

Teen Care

From sports and school stress to posture and growth changes, teens face unique challenges. Chiropractic care helps support their fast changing bodies, improve mobility, and encourage healthy nervous system function during these important years.

Adult Care

Life is busy, and stress adds up. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, headaches, sciatica, low energy, poor sleep, or simply want to feel better in your body, chiropractic care helps improve resilience, movement, and adaptability so you can keep up with everything life throws your way. As we address imbalances in your spine and nervous system, your body will become more resilient. 

Vibrant Aging and Longevity

Staying active matters at every age. Many of our older practice members notice improvements in balance, mobility, sleep, and brain function.  Our goal is to help you continue doing what you love, for as long as possible.

Sports & Performance

If you’re an athlete or just someone who loves staying active, you know how important it is to take care of your body. Chiropractic Care is all about helping you reach your peak performance, avoid injuries, and recover faster when they happen.

Beyond Adjustments

As your body begins to function better, many people naturally feel inspired to make healthier choices. To support that journey, we periodically offer wellness events, movement classes, and community gatherings.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

Patient Forms

The first thing you will do is fill out patient forms so we can get a better understanding of what brings you in our office.  To expedite this process, you can fill out the forms prior to coming in by downloading them off our website.  You can etiher email them back to us or print them and bring them in with you.  If you plan on filling out the forms in the office, please come a few minutes early so we’re not rushing that part.

Consultation

Then we talk. Just you and me. I want to hear what’s been going on — your symptoms, your concerns, your goals. What brought you here, and what does getting better actually look like for you? I’m trying to understand you as a whole person.

Examination & X-Rays

After that, I do an examination and take X-rays (unless there is a reason not to). And nothing happens in my office without your full understanding and consent. 

First Adjustment

If everything lines up, we can start your first treatment right then and there.  I may going to give you something to work with at home. If you’re in pain, that might mean ice or heat guidance, movement modifications, or specific stretches and exercises. Healing doesn’t stop when you walk out of the office.  It is a lifestyle, and I want to set you up for that from the start!

Report of Findings

Following that first visit, we will set up a time for our Doctor’s Report.  During the Doctor’s Report, we focus on three things:

  1. Can you actually help me? I’ll tell you honestly what I found and what we can accomplish together. And if your case needs a different provider, I’ll tell you that too. 
  2. How often do you need to come in? We’ll build a care plan based on what your spine actually needs.
  3. What’s this going to cost?  Our goal is to make our care affordable for everyone!

My goal is simple: you leave that conversation feeling informed, confident, and excited about what’s possible for your health.
