Spinal decompression is a therapy that gently stretches the spine to help relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It may be considered for certain types of back and neck pain. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether it's an appropriate option for your specific condition and symptoms.

Cold laser therapy, such as Erchonia laser treatment, uses low-level light to interact with tissue at a cellular level and may support the body's natural healing process. It is a non-invasive option that some patients receive alongside chiropractic care to help address pain and inflammation.

X-rays can give chiropractors a clearer picture of spinal alignment, joint structure, and any abnormalities that may not be apparent from a physical exam alone. This information helps guide treatment decisions and ensures care is appropriate for your specific condition and health history.

Massage therapy can help relax muscle tension and improve soft tissue flexibility, which may support the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments. When used together, these approaches address both the muscular and joint components of musculoskeletal discomfort, potentially improving overall treatment outcomes.

Auto accidents can cause whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and spinal misalignments that may not be immediately painful. Chiropractic evaluation after an accident can help identify these concerns early. A documented treatment plan also supports L&I and insurance claim processes when injuries are work- or accident-related.

Rehabilitative exercises are often recommended alongside chiropractic care to help strengthen supporting muscles, restore range of motion, and reduce the likelihood of re-injury. Exercises are typically tailored to each patient's condition, fitness level, and recovery goals to make progress sustainable over time.

Visit frequency depends on your condition, symptoms, and treatment goals. Acute issues may require more frequent visits initially, while ongoing wellness care is typically less frequent. Your chiropractor will recommend a schedule based on your examination findings and how your body responds to treatment over time.
