Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments and therapeutic techniques. We treat back pain, neck pain, and joint issues using non-invasive methods like electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, and heat therapy. Dr. Gamboa's 25+ years of experience ensures precise diagnosis and treatment of spinal misalignments, focusing on restoring nervous system function and promoting natural healing. This service benefits patients seeking drug-free solutions for chronic pain, sports injuries, and posture-related conditions.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy effectively treats herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease using advanced traction technology. This non-surgical treatment gently stretches the spine to relieve nerve compression and promote disc healing. Clinical studies demonstrate its success in treating lumbar disc issues, with particular effectiveness for post-surgical recovery and chronic back pain management. Patients benefit from reduced pain and improved mobility through this targeted, FDA-cleared treatment protocol.
Car Accident Treatment
Specialized treatment for auto accident injuries focuses on soft tissue recovery and spinal realignment. We address whiplash, back injuries, and post-collision pain through comprehensive evaluations and tailored treatment plans. Our practice accepts liens and provides necessary documentation for insurance claims. Early intervention prevents long-term complications from adrenaline-masked injuries, ensuring proper healing of spinal misalignments and soft tissue damage that may not show immediate symptoms.
Prenatal Care
Prenatal chiropractic care addresses pregnancy-related discomforts through specialized techniques and equipment. The Cox Technic distraction method safely alleviates back pain and prepares the pelvis for delivery. Treatment continues postpartum to address ligament laxity issues from pregnancy hormones. This service benefits expectant mothers seeking non-pharmaceutical pain relief and improved birth outcomes through proper spinal alignment during pregnancy.
Massage Therapy
On-site massage therapy accelerates recovery through various techniques including deep tissue, Swedish, and myofascial release. This adjunct therapy enhances chiropractic adjustments by relaxing muscles and improving treatment effectiveness. Sessions target specific conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, and chronic pain management. Our licensed therapists customize treatments to complement spinal adjustments and promote overall wellness through improved circulation and stress reduction.
