Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Eric Ries  and Dr. Todd Caughey have years of training and experience in spinal adjustment and therapy.  We use techniques ranging from Palmer Package, Arthrostim Instrument Adjusting, Vibracussor Technique, Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson Drop, Activator, Trigger Point Therapy, and Toggle Recoil.  We will be sensitive to the patients needs and tolerance for treatment with lighter or more aggressive force as needed or requested.

Corrective Exercises

We will incorporate rehabilitation exercises that are specific to strengthening the spinal muscles and core muscles of the body. These will be performed at the office and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Dr. Eric Ries  and Dr. Caughey can help to answer your questions.
