Spinal Manipulation
Our spinal manipulation therapy addresses misalignments and degeneration through precise adjustments. Using X-ray analysis and manual techniques, we correct postural imbalances and alleviate nerve compression causing pain. This treatment effectively resolves back pain, neck pain, and headaches while improving overall nervous system function. Patients experience reduced inflammation, increased mobility, and accelerated healing through our customized adjustment protocols.
Clinical Nutrition
We offer personalized nutrition programs using whole food supplements and dietary modifications. Our approach identifies biochemical imbalances through diagnostic testing and prescribes targeted nutritional support. Patients receive guidance on optimizing cellular health through Standard Process supplements and customized meal plans. This service enhances treatment outcomes for chronic conditions and supports the body's natural healing processes.
Bio Cranial Technique
This specialized technique uses gentle cranial adjustments to influence the central nervous system. By releasing cranial bone restrictions, we alleviate chronic pain patterns and neurological imbalances. Patients benefit from reduced stress response, improved cerebral spinal fluid flow, and relief from migraines and TMJ disorders. Our practitioners have advanced training in this precise, non-invasive treatment method.
Allergy Elimination
Our allergy elimination protocol retrains immune system responses through neurologically-based techniques. Using CranioBiotic Technique and muscle response testing, we identify and resolve hypersensitivity reactions. Patients experience lasting relief from seasonal allergies, food sensitivities, and chemical intolerances without pharmaceutical interventions. This approach addresses underlying immune system dysregulation for long-term wellness.
Cold Laser Treatment
We utilize Class IV cold laser therapy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This non-thermal treatment stimulates cellular metabolism and enhances circulation in injured areas. Patients receive targeted relief for muscle strains, joint pain, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Our protocol combines laser therapy with manual treatments for optimal recovery from acute injuries and chronic degenerative conditions.

Questions
Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
No, adjustments are gentle and non-invasive. Some patients experience mild soreness after initial treatments, similar to post-exercise muscle fatigue, indicating the body's healing process.
How do I know if I need an adjustment?
Persistent body pain, limited mobility, or unexplained health issues may indicate spinal misalignment. Regular checkups can detect subluxations even without obvious symptoms.
How many adjustments will I need?
Treatment plans vary based on individual conditions. Acute issues may require biweekly sessions, while maintenance care typically involves monthly visits after initial correction.
Can I get X-rays at your clinic?
Yes, we have on-site X-ray facilities. Dr. Shepherd will determine if imaging is necessary during your initial consultation to assess spinal alignment.
Does chiropractic help non-pain conditions?
Yes, spinal health affects nervous system function. Our treatments address digestive issues, immune function, and stress-related conditions through structural correction and holistic therapies.
