Whether you are a new walk-in patient dealing with back pain or someone who was recently injured in an auto accident, Dr. Zellweger is able to help diagnose your condition and provide the right treatments to get you out of pain.

We achieve these results not with harmful muscle relaxers or potent narcotics, but with:

• Spinal decompression therapy which uses intermittent spinal traction to take the stress off injured vertebral joints while concurrently hydrating your discs.
• Chiropractic adjustments to facilitate proper motion in the joints. 
• Electrical stimulation to reduce muscular and nerve pain in localized areas.

Some of those spinal manipulation techniques might include: 

• Flexion-Distraction Technique- This is a gentle, hands-on spinal manipulation that involves a pumping action on the intervertebral disc instead of direct force. 
• Instrument-Assisted Manipulation-This uses a hand-held instrument to allow your chiropractor to apply force without thrusting into the spine. 
• Specific Spinal Manipulation- Helps restore joint movement using a gentle thrusting technique.

In addition to easing your pain, chiropractic treatment can also boost your immune system, ease dozens of diseases from the source, increase your energy, add years to your life, and promote your health and level of fitness. 

Being involved in a vehicle collision can put unwanted pressure on delicate nerves and can even diminish nerve flow to the limbs and vital organs.

Once the nervous system is compromised, any human body function is at risk and can cause further complications. Your movement, blinking, heartbeat, regulation of hormones, breathing, and vision could all become compromised. 

And even worse, if left untreated, depleted nerve energy will lead to pain, fatigue, organ dysfunction, and eventually disease.  

By realigning the spine back to health and taking unnecessary pressure off the nerves, patients experience almost immediate pain relief. More significantly, they experience vitality, healthiness, and increased energy.

Adjusting a spinal joint may sometimes result in the release of a gas bubble between the joints. 

This is called cavitation and typically makes a popping sound. The same thing occurs when you crack your knuckles.

This noise is entirely natural and causes a sudden decrease in pressure within the joint. It is completely harmless and usually very relieving.
