Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to help cells heal, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation. The laser doesn’t generate heat, so you won’t feel burning or discomfort. Instead, the light energy targets damaged tissues and helps your body repair itself more quickly. At our chiropractic office, each cold laser therapy session costs $80. This treatment is great for joint pain, soft tissue injuries, or to speed up recovery from muscle strains. Sessions are self-pay, but you can use HSA or FSA funds to cover the cost.
Chiropractic adjustments and craniosacral therapy are two different techniques for helping with neck or back pain. Chiropractic adjustments are hands-on movements focused on improving the alignment of your spine and joints—think gentle pressure and small, controlled pushes to help reduce pain or stiffness and boost how well you move. Craniosacral therapy is lighter and uses very gentle touch to work with the bones of the skull, spine, and the way fluid moves in your body. It's aimed more at calming your nervous system, easing tension, and promoting deep relaxation. Adjustments tend to focus on structure and movement, while craniosacral therapy focuses on subtle touch and overall balance in your body. Many people find both approaches can help, depending on whether you want more targeted pain relief or deeper relaxation and stress relief.

We tailor each treatment plan specifically, so if you’re pregnant, let us know, and we’ll recommend the safest combination of services for your comfort and stage of pregnancy.

Most people start to notice improvement in pain and mobility within a few sessions, often as early as after the first or second visit. The number of sessions you’ll need really depends on your specific injury, how long you’ve had the issue, your overall health, and your activity level. Acute or minor problems might improve quickly, sometimes in just a few adjustments, while chronic or more complex issues could need ongoing care for several weeks. Your chiropractor will do an exam and talk with you about your goals, then recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs, regularly checking your progress and making adjustments if needed.
Even though we don’t bill insurance directly, we can still help you get what you need for possible out-of-network reimbursement. At your visit, we’ll provide you with a detailed receipt, sometimes called a superbill, that includes the treatment codes and all the info your insurance company usually asks for. Just give that paperwork to your insurance provider, and they’ll walk you through the rest of the process. If you ever need help figuring out exactly what to ask your insurance, let us know and we can point you in the right direction.
For your first chiropractic adjustment, try to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes so you can move easily and the chiropractor can access the areas that need attention—athletic wear or a t-shirt with pants or shorts is usually best. Avoid belts, thick seams, or anything too tight. You don’t need to bring anything special, but if you have recent X-rays, MRI reports, or medical history paperwork, bring those so the chiropractor has your full background. It’s helpful to arrive a few minutes early to fill out any needed forms and give yourself time to relax before your visit starts. Eating a light meal beforehand can help prevent lightheadedness, but try not to eat anything too heavy right before your appointment. Most clinics recommend turning off your phone and removing jewelry for a smoother experience.
You can combine acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and massage therapy as part of a personalized treatment plan for neck or back pain. Many people see better results when these therapies are used together, because they target pain and discomfort from different angles. At our center, treatment plans are tailored based on your specific needs and preferences, and our team often recommends a mix of services to support faster healing and lasting relief. You’ll work with our practitioners to figure out which combination is best for you, whether that’s all three therapies at once or focusing on certain ones depending on your situation and how your body responds.
A sports chiropractor can help with a wide range of muscle and joint issues, especially those linked to sports or active lifestyles. Common conditions treated include running injuries like shin splints, IT band syndrome, and plantar fasciitis, plus shoulder pain from overuse or strain, and hip tightness or mobility problems. Other frequent concerns are low back pain, neck pain, muscle strains, tendonitis, sciatica, and joint discomfort from repetitive movements or minor injuries. Treatment often includes chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, joint mobilization, personalized rehab exercises, and advice on stretching, strengthening, and injury prevention, aimed at getting you moving better and back to your activities faster.
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to gently stretch and relax your spine. Most people say it feels like a slow, steady pull. It’s comfortable—there’s no pain, just a sense of gentle traction that can ease tension in your back. The goal is to reduce pressure on spinal discs, which may help nerves heal and relieve pain. If you have disc-related back pain, like herniated or bulging discs, spinal decompression is often a good option to try before thinking about surgery. Many patients notice less pain and more mobility after a few sessions, and it’s a safe, low-risk way to address disc issues without going under the knife. If you have severe pain or certain health conditions, though, it’s smart to talk with your chiropractor to make sure it’s a good fit for you.
