Book an Appointment

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation, missed visit, and tardiness greatly affect not only our schedule but our other patients, including those on our waitlist. As such, we request 12 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who fail to cancel or reschedule within that time are subject to a fee of $80 for a new patient appointment and $40 for an existing patient appointment. Patients who arrive more than 5 minutes late to their scheduled appointment time are also subject to the same cancellation fees, and may be required to reschedule.

Diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal problems through gentle spinal manipulation. This treatment can help loosen tight muscles, reduce headache frequency, alleviate back pain and allow you to move more freely. Diversified, Activator and Drop table methods are available to be used in combination depending on each patient's condition.

We also use other modalities such as acupuncture, massage therapy, McKenzie exercises, Webster technique, ultrasound, electrical stimulation and nutritional supplements to help achieve a pain-free and optimal life!

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used for over 2000 years - and for good reason. We use it to treat many conditions, all through balancing the body's energy and flow of chi. Needles are insterted at specific points depending on the problems being treated, all done in a relaxed environment for ultimate stress relief.

Pediatric Care

We see our smallest patients from birth. Chiropractic care can treat acute issues related to tongue/lip ties, constipation and colic. Children can also benefit from the balancing of their nervous systems which can help address seasonal allergies, behavioral disorders and bedwetting. Prioritizing spinal health from an early age creates a healthy habit for a lifetime.

Craniosacral Therapy

CST is a noninvasive therapy which utilizes gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back to relieve the stress and pain caused by compression. It can, as a result, help to treat a number of conditions.
