Chiropractic Adjustments
Spinal adjustments correct the joint misalignments behind neck pain, restricted movement, and nerve pressure. This section covers who adjustments are right for, what the process involves, and why medical professionals now back them as a first-line treatment.
Massage Therapy
Tight muscles are often the reason structural care doesn’t hold, and the reason pain keeps coming back. Our massage therapists treat the soft tissue side of your problem directly, as part of a care plan, not as an add-on.
Is muscle tension keeping your recovery stuck?
Structural work alone can’t fix a spine when chronically tight muscles are pulling it back out of position. Muscle tension is often the layer of dysfunction that no one addresses directly, and it shows up in nearly every chronic pain case we see. Our licensed massage therapists work alongside the chiropractic team to treat the soft tissue side of your pain, so the structural work we do actually holds.
Who should seriously consider massage therapy?
Anyone whose body carries tension as a regular state. That covers tradespeople who use the same muscle groups the same way every shift, office workers whose neck and shoulder muscles lock up from hours of forward posture, and athletes whose training volume builds faster than their recovery clears it. We also see strong outcomes in patients with fibromyalgia, where widespread muscle sensitivity rarely responds to standard care alone, and in auto accident patients whose soft tissue injury runs deep but doesn’t always appear clearly on imaging.
What happens during a therapeutic massage session at this practice?
Our massage is clinically focused, not spa-style. Each session opens with a brief intake on your problem areas so your therapist understands what they’re working with before hands touch tissue. From there, soft tissue techniques like trigger point release, myofascial stretching, and deep tissue work are applied where they’re actually needed, not just where you think you’re tight. Pressure is tracked and adjusted throughout based on how your tissue responds. The objective is lasting change in how the muscle functions, not just an hour of relief that fades by morning.
How does massage therapy support the rest of your care?
Chronically tight muscles are one of the main reasons chiropractic adjustments don’t hold between visits. They pull the corrected joint back toward its dysfunctional position before the stabilizing tissues have a chance to adapt. Massage scheduled around your adjustments removes that counterforce. For patients going through spinal decompression, it keeps the muscles surrounding the spine responsive and flexible during treatment, which supports better outcomes. The two approaches are more effective in combination than either is on its own.
When Is the right time to start massage therapy?
Earlier than most people think. For acute injuries, gentle massage techniques can start within the first few days, focused on circulation and swelling reduction rather than deep work. For long-standing chronic tension, a consistent weekly schedule over several months is what actually creates change in the tissue, not a single deep session followed by weeks without care. People in physically demanding jobs benefit from ongoing massage even outside of flare-ups. Treating the muscle before it becomes a crisis is a much easier problem to solve.
Why choose massage over standard muscle pain treatments?
Anti-inflammatories and heat pads reduce symptoms at the surface. They don’t reach the adhesions, trigger points, and deep tissue restrictions that are actually sustaining the problem. Massage does. A 2024 systematic review in JAMA Network Open found that massage is specifically sought when conventional treatments fall short or carry side effects patients want to avoid, which reflects what we see clinically in patients who’ve already exhausted the standard options.
Chronic Muscle Tension Creates Progressive Joint Dysfunction
Tight muscles don’t stay localized. They alter how joints load, pull on tendons and ligaments, and create compensatory overuse in the muscle groups trying to pick up the slack. Research published in Muscle & Nerve shows that osteoarthritis in major joints changes how nearby muscles are recruited, driving compensatory overuse that actively contributes to chronic pain. The longer that cycle runs without treatment, the more tissue it spreads to, and the more involved the recovery becomes.


Spinal Decompression Therapy
When a disc is herniated or compressed, treatments that don’t address the disc itself can only go so far. Decompression works on the source of the problem by reducing pressure inside the disc and creating the conditions for real tissue recovery.

FAQs
Questions before a first visit are normal. Here are the ones we hear most often, with straight answers.
Do I need X-rays or an MRI before my first appointment?
No. You don’t need imaging before you come in. Our doctors conduct a thorough physical exam on the first visit, including range-of-motion tests and orthopedic assessments, that gives us a strong clinical picture on its own. We also build in time for patient education at the end of your visit, walking you through what we found and what your care will involve. If imaging would help confirm a diagnosis, we’ll discuss it after the exam. If you already have recent imaging, bring it and we’ll review it.
Can chiropractic care help if I've already had back surgery?
Often, yes. Post-surgical patients frequently develop secondary pain patterns at segments above or below the surgical site, which take on extra load after fusion or disc procedures. Chiropractic care can address those areas effectively without touching the surgical site itself. We’ll review your surgical history carefully before making any recommendations, and your plan will be adapted based on what was done and when. Many patients who’ve had surgery find that chiropractic care handles the pain their procedure didn’t resolve.
How do I know which service I actually need?
Our initial exam guides that decision. Structural joint misalignment points toward adjustments. Disc herniation or nerve compression calls for decompression. Deep soft tissue tension and trigger points respond best to massage. In most cases, two or more of those problems are present at once, and your plan will reflect that. We’ll explain clearly what we found, why we’re recommending what we’re recommending, and what progress should look like.
What if I don't have health insurance?
We work with many insurance plans and can verify your benefits before your first visit. For patients with personal injuries from an auto accident, we can often work on a lien basis, meaning care begins now and payment is deferred until your claim settles. For patients without insurance or with limited benefits, we offer payment plan options to keep care within reach. Call us ahead of your visit so we can go over your coverage and out-of-pocket costs clearly.
Is it safe to get chiropractic care while pregnant?
Yes, when provided by a trained and certified provider. Dr. Karlie Wauhob is Webster Certified, a specific clinical certification for prenatal chiropractic care. Public health guidance recognizes prenatal chiropractic as safe and beneficial for managing the pelvic and spinal load changes that pregnancy brings. Adjustments during this time focus on keeping the pelvis balanced and reducing strain on the lower back and supporting ligaments. Patients commonly report reduced back pain, better hip mobility, and improved sleep with consistent prenatal care.
