Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that originated thousands of years ago. It is based on the premise that a blockage or disturbance of the flow of the body's life energy, or "qi, " can cause health issues. Thin needles are inserted to specific acupuncture points throughout the body to help restore and balance the flow of qi, balance the body's energy, stimulate healing, and promote relaxation.
Massage therapy focuses on the spine and its relationship to nerves, muscles, and joints in the body. Treatments may localize individual nerve areas that need attention. Care may also be given to promote healing in the body by providing massage to multiple areas related to spinal health. Chiropractic massage lends very well in promoting a general sense of health in the body.
McKenzie Method is both an assessment and a treatment intended for all musculoskeletal problems. McKenzie treatment is a form of care that empowers patients to help manage symptoms often through the means of safe, repetitive movements. Through treatment, McKenzie Method can be used to help understand the patient's symptoms, determine appropriate care, eliminate symptoms, and empower the patient to treat themselves independently.
Therapeutic ultrasound is a therapy that uses a small wand emitting ultrasound waves directly into injured muscles and ligaments in the body. It is used predominately in soft tissue injuries such as ligament sprains, muscle strains, joint inflammation, plantar fasciitis, bursitis and many other conditions.

Doctor Joe is hands down the BEST chiropractor. I’ve struggled for years with chronic back pain and I’ve tried several methods to find relief and nothing worked… since the beginning, Dr Joe made it a point to understand my pain and develop a treatment plan which worked specifically for me. The entire team at Wheaton Healthcare, LLC is so compassionate and incredibly kind, it’s refreshing. I now see the light at the end of the tunnel and can enjoy my life a little more without being in such terrible chronic pain. Thank you Dr Joe!

Dr. Joseph Papuga was extremely kind and accommodating to the issues I was having with my back and neck. He really took the time to listen to what I was dealing with and provided clear / helpful feedback. Really enjoyed getting to know him as well. Saw serious improvements to my pain after a few of the first sessions. Would highly recommend!

Can not say enough about this place. It's wonderful! Nancy is awesome and Joseph is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He got me on the path to alleviate chronic back pain I've had for over a decade, when I thought there was no hope. If you're on the fence, you should definitely make the appointment, you won't regret it!

I went to Dr Joe Papuga after having shoulder surgery and a ton of physical therapy. My doctor recommended I see a chiropractor to work out the last bit of pain and discomfort. Honestly I was very skeptical if a chiropractor could help my issues. I am so glad I went. I feel better than I have since my shoulder pain started. Thank for helping in this long journey to be back to healthy.

I have been seeing Dr Joe Papuga for almost a year now and under his care he has alleviated my arm pain completely!! I also have upper back pain due to being a chef and working my body pretty hard. Dr Joe helps it every time I “mess it up”. I HIGHLY recommend him, he is kind and listens with care! His staff is just as friendly and I feel like family every time I walk in the doors. Thank you Dr Joe YOU ROCK!!!

Dr. Joseph rocks! He's extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I've been seeing him over the last few months to help my body stay as pain-free as possible before my hip replacement. He's been nothing short of a miracle worker. I highly suggest going to him for your chiropractic needs if you wanted to be treated by someone who will partner with you on your health journey and is personally invested in seeing you feel great.

I’ve had chronic back pain for a very long time and complained every day about it hurting. Once I started going to Dr. Papuga he was very understanding and wanted to help relieve my pain. He has helped make my life more enjoyable and I don’t complain about back pain anymore. Definitely recommend to anyone who is needing help!! Also, a genuine guy and his staff is great as well!!

Dr. Papuga completely changed my daily life of back pain. I had chronic back pain for 17 years before I saw him, and he seemed to immediately understand my problem. He taught me the right stretches and strategies that have helped me get through the day without pain. He’s also really easy to work with, explains things nicely, and seems to actually enjoy his job. Highly recommend!

Dr Joe is the best! I started visiting after a car accident and was struggling with major headaches and some lower back pain. After one visit my headaches were completely gone. And it only took a few weeks to be completely pain free.
He takes the time to explain what’s likely causing my pain and teaches different stretches and exercises to do at home to stay healthy and pain free. He’s genuine, down to earth, funny and actually cares about his patience.
His staff is amazing too!
