Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments realign spinal vertebrae to relieve nerve pressure and restore natural healing. This non-invasive treatment addresses back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries through manual manipulation techniques. Clinical evidence supports its effectiveness for musculoskeletal conditions while maintaining exceptional safety compared to surgical alternatives.
Massage Therapy
Our licensed massage therapists use Swedish and deep tissue techniques to complement chiropractic care. This combination reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, and accelerates recovery from injuries. Specialized prenatal massage addresses pregnancy-related discomfort while promoting overall wellness through stress reduction.
Laser Therapy
FDA-cleared laser therapy uses photobiomodulation to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair. This drug-free treatment effectively addresses chronic pain conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis. Most patients experience noticeable improvement within 3-5 sessions through this non-thermal, painless procedure.
Physiotherapy
Custom physiotherapy programs combine heat/ice therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation to treat musculoskeletal injuries. These evidence-based interventions improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery from sports injuries, work-related trauma, and post-surgical conditions through targeted therapeutic applications.
Kinesiology
Applied kinesiology uses muscle strength assessment to identify imbalances and guide treatment. This diagnostic approach helps detect organ dysfunction, food sensitivities, and musculoskeletal issues. Treatment integrates manual therapy techniques to restore structural alignment and improve neuromuscular function for comprehensive patient care.

I have been seeing Dr Behar for over a year now and I found him to be very helpful, caring, kind, friendly, patient and generous. He has adjusted my body, administer laser treatments to my hip,knees and feet. Also, I received electrical back and hip therapy. I purchased a package but he always give me free extra treatments because he wants me to feel better when I leave the office. So he is not all about money or a greedy person but a doctor who helps with a huge heart. Kelly is very helpful and professional. She treats everyone with respect and love. So I feel like family when I am there.
