Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you treat herniated discs or pinched nerves?
    Yes. We treat these conditions using spinal decompression, adjustments, and regenerative therapies like shockwave and EMTT to reduce nerve irritation and support healing.

  • What is spinal decompression therapy?
    This is a gentle, non-surgical technique used to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It’s especially helpful for disc bulges, herniations, and sciatica.

  • How does chiropractic care complement shockwave or EMTT?
    Chiropractic care restores alignment and mobility. Shockwave and EMTT target inflammation, tissue regeneration, and cellular healing — especially useful for disc and nerve issues, tendon injuries, and chronic pain.
