Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractors use precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments, relieve nerve pressure, and restore proper musculoskeletal function. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses back pain, neck pain, headaches, and posture-related issues through manual therapy techniques that promote natural healing and improve mobility.
Acupuncture
Licensed acupuncturist Rick Peterson employs thin needle insertion at strategic points to stimulate energy flow and treat chronic pain, migraines, arthritis, and stress-related conditions. Combining modern physical assessment with traditional techniques, this therapy enhances circulation and triggers the body's innate healing response.
Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage services including deep tissue, Swedish, and sports massage techniques target muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid rehabilitation from injuries. Sessions focus on reducing inflammation, breaking down scar tissue, and enhancing recovery through manual manipulation of soft tissues.
Custom Foot Orthotics
Tailored orthotic solutions address foot imbalances that contribute to knee, hip, and back pain. Our diagnostic evaluations identify pronation issues and structural deficiencies, enabling creation of personalized shoe inserts that improve alignment, reduce stress, and enhance overall biomechanical function.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
High-frequency sound waves penetrate deep tissues to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and accelerate healing of ligament sprains, muscle strains, and tendonitis. This non-thermal modality promotes cellular repair and alleviates chronic pain conditions like plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome through targeted acoustic energy application.

Dr. Berry is awesome. I suffered back pain for over ayear and tried many different avenues to relieve my pain. I hadn't slept through the night in over a year. Since starting treatment with Dr. Berry I have had great sleep and almost pain free. Dr. Berry is very thorough. The staff is great. I would highly recommend Dr. Berry.
