In phase two, we focus on correcting the underlying condition by retraining and stabilizing the spine, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
Phase 3 - Wellness/Prevention:
Regular chiropractic care can help maintain your progress and optimize your functional ability.

The Intersegmental Traction Table or "Roller Table" helps to gently re-establish the spine's normal range of motion.
- Separates the vertebrae gently to allow blood flow to the disc and throughout the spine
- Exercises muscles and ligaments lightly throughout the spine
-Stimulates a general overall state of well-being and relaxation
Our Chiropractors describe the Impulse Adjusting Instrument as a light tapping sensation on the area that is being treated. In most cases, the treatment is painless, and after the adjustment, many patients feel relief of pain and improved mobility. Others report a sense of well-being or a soothing, calm feeling. This tool is a safe, effective way to be treated for all ages, from newborns to seniors.
