Chiropractic Care
Does chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort during adjustments. You may hear a popping sound, which is simply gas releasing from the joint. Some patients experience mild soreness after their first few visits, similar to starting a new exercise routine.
How many visits will I need?
Treatment plans vary based on your condition, severity, and health goals. Some patients find relief in just a few visits, while others with chronic conditions may benefit from ongoing care. Dr. Ryan Maloney or Dr. Amanda Seltzer will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Can children receive chiropractic care?
Yes, chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for patients of all ages, including infants and children. We use gentle, age-appropriate techniques for our pediatric patients.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Absolutely. Prenatal chiropractic care can help manage back pain, improve pelvic alignment, and support a healthier pregnancy. Dr. Ryan Maloney and Dr. Amanda Seltzer are trained in techniques specifically designed for pregnant patients.
Advanced Therapies
What advanced therapies do you offer?
We offer advanced therapies including shockwave therapy, PEMF therapy, red light therapy, and trigenics. These treatments stimulate your body's natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged tissues and reduce pain.
What is shockwave therapy and how does it work?
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair. It's effective for chronic pain, tendon injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions.
How long until I see results from advanced therapies?
Most patients experience relief in a visit or two, though results vary by treatment and individual condition. Optimal long-term results may take several weeks as the body heals naturally.
Are advanced therapy treatments covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Chiropractic care is typically covered, while some advanced therapies may require out-of-pocket payment. We offer financing options and payment plans to make treatments accessible.
Body & Aesthetics

Body contouring is a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce stubborn fat and tighten skin. We use advanced technology to target specific areas, helping you achieve your desired body shape without surgery or downtime.
What aesthetic services do you offer?
We offer body contouring, cryo sculpting, FroTox facial, and red light therapy. These treatments help with fat reduction, skin tightening, and overall appearance enhancement without surgery.
How many body contouring sessions do I need?
Most patients see optimal results with 6-12 sessions, depending on the treatment area and individual goals. We'll create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.

Most of our aesthetic treatments have minimal to no downtime. You can typically return to normal activities immediately. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided based on your treatment.

Most patients describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable but tolerable. The intensity can be adjusted based on your comfort level. Treatments typically last 10-15 minutes.
What is PEMF therapy?
PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and promote healing at the cellular level. It's non-invasive and effective for many conditions.
