Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use techniques like Diversified, Activator, and Drop Table to correct spinal misalignments and relieve nerve pressure. This improves mobility, reduces pain, and enhances nervous system function. Patients receive personalized treatment plans addressing acute injuries, chronic pain, and posture-related issues through manual adjustments and therapeutic tools.
Pregnancy Care
Specialized prenatal chiropractic care maintains pelvic alignment and reduces discomfort during pregnancy. Using gentle techniques, we address postural changes, relieve back/neck pain, and improve birthing position potential. Care includes soft tissue work and posture guidance to support mothers' changing bodies and promote natural delivery readiness throughout all trimesters.
PEMF Therapy
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy uses THz Tera-P90 technology to enhance cellular function and circulation. This non-invasive treatment supports pain reduction, inflammation management, and stress regulation while promoting tissue repair and immune system strength. Sessions complement chiropractic adjustments to optimize overall wellness and recovery from chronic conditions.
Essential Oils
Dr. VonBergen's 20+ years of essential oil expertise informs personalized wellness education. We teach safe aromatherapy, topical application, and dietary integration of therapeutic-grade oils to complement chiropractic care. Workshops and consultations help patients use natural oils for stress relief, pain management, and enhanced immune function as part of holistic health routines.
Hydromassage Therapy
Our hydromassage tables deliver targeted water pressure therapy to relax muscles and improve circulation. This automated treatment provides consistent deep-tissue relief before adjustments, helping patients achieve optimal muscle relaxation. Sessions are available as standalone wellness treatments or integrated with chiropractic care plans for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
