Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Customized spinal adjustments address subluxations caused by injuries, stress, or poor posture. Using techniques like Thompson, Gonstead, and Flexion-Distraction, we realign vertebrae to relieve nerve pressure, reduce pain, and restore mobility. Tailored to individual needs, including gentle options for sensitive patients.
Therapeutic Laser
Low-level laser treatments accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and sports injuries. This non-invasive therapy promotes healing by stimulating cellular activity, offering pain relief without medication or surgery.
Spinal Decompression
Targeted decompression therapy alleviates pain from herniated or bulged discs by gently stretching the spine. This creates negative pressure to reposition disc material, reduce nerve compression, and facilitate healing for chronic back or neck pain sufferers.
Massage Therapy
Licensed therapists provide Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports massage to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery. Customized sessions complement chiropractic care, addressing specific areas of strain or injury.
DOT Physicals
Certified Department of Transportation physicals for CDL drivers, including same-day appointments and thorough evaluations. Services meet federal requirements for commercial driver licensing and safety compliance.

Both doctors here are great. I love them both equally, I tend to go to Dr. Alex more because he does things a bit differently. But overall I like Dr. John and Dr. Alex equally.

I have been troubled with back pain and issues for most of my life. After visiting Dr. John at his office, and having him properly administer adjustments, I finally feel better. His gentle approach is comforting and takes the fear of getting an adjustment away. I highly recommend his practice to anyone who is suffering with back pain like I do.
