Services
Our office is dedicated to offering the latest, state-of-the-art therapies and providing our patients with quality care at all times.
Below is a description of the services we offer:
Spinal and Extremity Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments balance your spine,normalize joint function, relieve stress on your 
muscles,ligaments,tendons and nerves and restore your body's natural healing ability.
Adjustments are used to remove subluxations (which are joints that are fixated, "locked up",not moving properly) in the spine and other joints
of the body.
Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe. Children and even newborns get adjustments to repair spinal misalignments caused by the birth process, learning to walk as well as other childhood traumas. Each adjustment is tailored according to each patient's age, size and unique spinal problem.
At our office, Dr. Chris uses a combination of 3 adjusting techniques, Diversified (manual or hands-on), Instrument assisted (Activator and ArthroStim) and Thompson (involving the use of drop pieces).
The benefits of spinal and extremity adjustments include:
- Correction of subluxations
- Releases “pinched nerves”
- Pain relief
- Improved flexibility and range of motion
- Decreased muscle spasms
- Restoring the body's natural healing ability
ArthroStim
The ArthoStim is the latest innovation in low force instrument adjusting. The ArthroStim delivers 12-14 incremental thrusts per second. By dividing the energy of a single thrust into rapid, successive inputs, the ArthroStim modulates the peak force of the adjustment. This allows Dr. Chris to administer an extremely comfortable and highly effective adjustment.
The ArthroStim permits Dr. Chris to maintain the effectiveness of your adjustment while reducing the amount of force that is applied. This dynamic combination allows our office to maintain a wider range of patients and conditions.
Individuals that may especially benefit from the ArthroStim include:
- Infants and young children
- Elderly individuals
- Individuals in acute pain
- Individuals who dislike being “cracked”
Decompression Therapy
A highly successful, non-surgical method for effective treatment of debilitating low back, neck as well as radiating arm and leg pain is disc decompression therapy. Extensive research has shown decompression therapy to be extremely effective (upwards of 80%) in treating intervertebral disc problems.
Decompression therapy is a traction-based procedure that relieves pain commonly associated with herniated discs, degenerative discs from arthritis as well as other compression-related syndromes.
Decompression therapy can also benefit people who suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Our office is equipped with the Triton DTS decompression unit, the only model that is FDA approved for decompression therapy.

Laser Therapy
Therapeutic laser therapy, the most researched and published modality in physical medicine, is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for low back, neck and disc pain, soft tissue injuries, chronic pain, joint conditions, arthritis and inflammatory conditions. Compared to traditional ultrasound, studies have shown that laser therapy penetrates deeper into the tissue being treated to stimulate healing at a deeper level, thereby
decreasing recovery time. Another important
feature of Laser therapy is that, unlike ultrasound,
it can be safely used to treat injuries of the spine
as well as injuries near the growth plates of bones.
This simple and painless treatment emits photons (light energy) in very specific regions ofthe electromagnetic spectrum to deliver the following benefits:
- Accelerated cellular repair and growth
- Improved nutrient delivery and waste product removal
- Reduced scar tissue formation
- Decreased swelling
- Stimulate nerve function
- Stimulates release of the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals

Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers
Do know what your feet can tell you about your spinal health? You should have your feet checked for imbalances that could cause knee, hip, low back and even neck pain. With the most advanced technology, Foot Levelers' Associate
Platinum digital scanner allows Dr. Chris to check your feet for problems that could
transfer to other areas in your body.
Your feet are the foundation for your entire body. Like any structure, your body's foundation must be stable to support the weight above it. If the arches in one (or both) of your feet collapse, your body doesn't get the correct postural support, causing an imbalance in your skeletal frame. Every time your foot hits the ground to take a step, you pass the imbalance all the way up your body. Over time, your body tries to compensate and this imbalance can cause pain in any number of places, like your knees, hips, low back and neck - even if your feet don't hurt!
Foot Levelers is the world's exclusive provider of Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers, custom-made orthotics that you wear in your shoes. These stabilizers restore both your structural and functional balance by supporting all three arches of your foot to create a balanced foundation for your body. The Associate Platinum scans your feet for any imbalances and the resulting image is sent to the Foot Leveler's Laboratory where it is analyzed to create your unique pair of custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers.
VibraCussor
VibraCussor percussion therapy is an exciting new treatment approach for muscle and ligament problems and related myofascial conditions. The VibraCussor delivers waves of percussive impulses deep into the tissues of the body to promote an increase in circulation and lymphatic flow as well as a decrease in muscle spasm. The accumulation of the multiple percussive waves helps to loosen up “stuck” areas without using heavy thrusting forces.
The VibraCussor can also be used to gently change the flexibility of shortened ligaments, which in turn can increase limited ranges of motion and improve postural distortions. This treatment is also highly effective in treating fascial adhesions and restrictions of the shoulder, hip and knee with minimal discomfort.
VibraCussor therapy can be an effective treatment for the following conditions:
- Joint Fixations
- Postural distortions
- Myofascial restrictions
- Trigger points
- “Frozen” shoulder
- TMJ (jaw) problems
- Many more conditions
Electrotherapy
Our office has a full range of electrotherapy including interferential, biphasic, Russian and Galvanic. 
The benefits of electrotherapy include:
- Pain relief
- Decreased swelling
- Increased circulation
- Improved joint function
- Relief of muscle spasms
- Improved nutrient delivery and waste product removal
TheraStim
In the event of an injury of any sort, the fastest road to recovery involves the combination of both passive care (delivered by your doctor) and active care (done by yourself). Our TheraStim unit allows our patient to 
receive passive care while performing active care simultaneously, putting you on the fast track to recovery.
TheraStim benefits include:
- Increased neuromuscular stimulation
- Relief of muscle spasms
- Prevention or decreased rate of disuse atrophy
- Increased local circulation
- Maintaining or increasing range of motion
Intersegmental and Axial Traction
These modalities provide you the comfort of lying down and relaxing while receiving the following benefits:
- Reverse the effects of gravity
- Decompress “pinched nerves”
- Reduce spinal distortions and fixations
- Stretch tight muscles
- Reduce muscle spasms
- Break down scar tissue
- Improve flexibility
Precision Ice
In the past, the usual treatment for acute (immediate or traumatic) injuries has been the acronym RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) to prevent/reduce swelling and pain.
A problem with the RICE acronym is that constant static compression will occlude the lymphatic system from properly circulating and removing excess fluid, toxins and tissue debris away from the injured area.
Precision Ice is a state-of-the-art system that simultaneously delivers cryotherapy (ice) with a pressurized gradient to help stimulate the lymphatic system to properly remove any swelling & toxins optimizing the body’s natural processes to reduce the tendency to swell.
Diathermy is a deep heat therapy that helps to:
- Increase local circulation
- Reduce muscle spasms
- Improved nutrient delivery and waste product removal
- Break down scar tissue
Massage Therapy
Many of today's health problems can benefit from massage therapy. The benefits of massage are extensive. Massage therapy treatments will have a therapeutic effect and improve health by acting directly on the muscular, nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
The Benefits of massage therapy include:
- Chronic or acute pain relief
- Relax tight and tense muscles
- Improve circulation, recovery time and immune system function
- Reduce overall stress
- Develop, maintain or rehabilitate physical function
- Creates a sense of relaxation and well-being
Please be aware that not all insurances cover massage therapy, in these instances, we do have cash payment plans. To find out if massage therapy is covered by your insurance plan, please call the member benefits number on the back of your insurance card.
Rehabilitative and Therapeutic Exercise
Active care (activities done by the patient) is a critical part of the equation to not only recovery but also for prevention of recurring injuries.
With rehabilitative equipment ranging from physio-balls, back extension bench, medicine
balls, wobble boards, resistance tubing and
dumbbells as well as eliptical, stationary
bike and stair climber machines, Dr Chris will formulate a program, specifically
tailored to you, of therapeutic stretches
and rehabilitative exercises to help you stretch
tight muscles, strengthen stabilizing muscles and increase range of motion and flexibility.
