Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal subluxations to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance nervous system function. Using advanced diagnostic tools like digital thermography and SEMG, we create personalized treatment plans for conditions ranging from sciatica to arthritis. Patients report significant improvements in chronic pain, posture, and overall wellness through our evidence-based, non-invasive approach.
Massage Therapy
Licensed massage therapists provide therapeutic sessions to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. This service complements chiropractic care by addressing soft tissue imbalances and enhancing recovery from injuries or chronic conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis.
Infrared Sauna
The infrared sauna offers deep-tissue detoxification, pain relief, and improved circulation through penetrating heat therapy. This service supports wellness goals by eliminating toxins, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation in a controlled, low-impact environment.
Thermography
Digital thermography uses thermal imaging to detect inflammation, nerve dysfunction, and circulatory issues without radiation exposure. This diagnostic tool helps identify subluxations and monitor treatment progress, providing objective data to guide precise chiropractic interventions.
Nutritional Supplements
We offer doctor-approved nutritional supplements like probiotics, fish oil, and vitamin D to support digestive health, immune function, and chronic condition management. These products complement chiropractic care by addressing nutritional deficiencies and enhancing the body's natural healing processes.

Questions
What does a chiropractor do?
Chiropractors identify and correct spinal subluxations through adjustments, relieving nerve pressure and improving overall body function without medication or surgery.
Why visit a chiropractor if I'm not in pain?
Subluxations often exist without pain symptoms. Regular adjustments prevent nerve damage and maintain optimal health, similar to routine dental or eye checkups.
How often should I receive adjustments?
Visit frequency depends on spinal damage severity. Initial corrective care may require multiple weekly visits, transitioning to monthly wellness maintenance as improvement occurs.
What conditions do you treat?
We address back pain, sciatica, headaches, arthritis, digestive issues, and pediatric developmental concerns through spinal adjustments and complementary therapies.
Do you accept insurance?
AAC Family Wellness Centers operates as an out-of-network provider. Patients receive superbill documentation for potential insurance reimbursement.
Are services available for children?
Yes, we provide pediatric chiropractic care for developmental issues, ear infections, and posture correction using gentle, age-appropriate techniques.
