Services
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper spinal motion and reducing nerve interference through manual adjustments. We provide thorough evaluations, including imaging if needed, to address conditions like back pain, neck pain, and sciatica. Our approach combines personalized treatment plans with patient education to promote long-term wellness and prevent recurring issues.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment for herniated or degenerative discs. Using specialized tables, we gently stretch the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This therapy promotes fluid exchange and healing for lumbar and cervical disc conditions, offering relief from chronic back and neck pain without invasive procedures.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles at specific points to alleviate pain and improve health conditions. We use it to treat chronic pain, migraines, arthritis, and stress. Our certified practitioners also offer specialized techniques like SAAT for allergy relief, integrating acupuncture into comprehensive care plans for lasting results.
Geriatric Care
Geriatric care addresses age-related stiffness, arthritis, and mobility issues through gentle adjustments. We focus on improving joint flexibility, balance, and posture to enhance seniors' quality of life. Our treatments reduce pain and fall risks while supporting overall health and independence in older adults.
Pediatric Care
Pediatric chiropractic care supports children's growth with gentle techniques for spinal health and development. We address issues like posture, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal discomfort. Our family-friendly approach ensures safe, effective care to promote lifelong wellness and active lifestyles for young patients.

Wow!! If you are in need of an adjustment, this is the place to go. They are very professional and detailed. They take the time to explain the details of what’s wrong and how to fix it in laymen’s terms. Plus, I feel better after one visit! I will be back, and soon

After sitting at a desk for two years, I had a lot of stiffness and pain in my upper back and neck. Ive also dealt with minor scoliosis since I was a kid. I started seeing Dr. Monique White a little over six months ago and she started to help me regain my movement almost immediately! She is always so kind when I come in and her support staff is amazing. I go weekly now and I always look forward to it!

I've been going to Dr. Monique for over a year now. Working at a desk for 18 years, plus acquiring a 75-lb active dog, finally caught up with me and led to lower back and hip pain that made it difficult for me to sleep at night. Dr. Monique quickly diagnosed the problem and applied a variety of techniques to address the issue. Continued maintenance has led to overall better health and mobility, and she continues vigilant care if any new issues arise, such as neck stiffness. I am very happy with the results.

I would highly recommend this place. Staff listened and made me fell very comfortable. I’ve never been to a chiropractor before and was highly doubtful at first, but I walked out of that office with my back immediately feeling much better.
