Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments realign spinal vertebrae to relieve nerve impingement and restore proper musculoskeletal function. This non-invasive treatment reduces back pain, neck pain, and headaches while improving overall nervous system communication. Patients experience immediate pain relief and enhanced mobility through precise manual adjustments performed by our experienced chiropractors.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied kinesiology uses muscle strength testing to diagnose functional impairments and guide treatment. By analyzing muscle responses, we identify imbalances in structural, chemical, and mental systems. This holistic approach helps treat chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and sports injuries through targeted interventions that restore bodily equilibrium and enhance natural healing processes.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs combine therapeutic exercises with chiropractic care to accelerate recovery from injuries and surgeries. Customized treatment plans improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion while reducing inflammation. We integrate manual therapy techniques with targeted exercise regimens to address musculoskeletal conditions and prevent future injuries through improved biomechanics.
Headache Treatment
We specialize in non-pharmaceutical headache and migraine treatment through cervical spine adjustments and trigger point therapy. Our approach addresses neck misalignments and muscle tension that contribute to chronic headaches. Patients benefit from reduced frequency and intensity of migraines through combined chiropractic care and lifestyle modification guidance.
Sports Injury Recovery
Our sports injury treatment combines chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue therapy to accelerate healing and restore performance. We address common athletic injuries like sprains, strains, and joint pain through targeted interventions that improve mobility and prevent re-injury. Custom rehabilitation programs help athletes return to peak condition while enhancing overall physical resilience.

Being a commercial contractor for over 35 years, straining back, neck, leg and just about every other muscle is common place. Myself and my men have endured back pain issues for years. Until we found Dr. Bax there seemed to be no alternative except drugs, he and the staff (ALL Fantastic), have a completely different approach, the eastern influence and knowledge of the body is unsurpassed. Having gone thru dozens of chiropractors, I was astonished by the way Dr. Bax understood my pain and used methods for relief that I had never experienced before, and the rest they say is history, I have been going to him over two years now and will continue until to my last day.
All of my men, friends and family have been referred to him with excellent results, he is incredible! FOR ALL THOSE THAT ARE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT GOING TO A CHRIPACTOR YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, DR. BAX HAS HANDS LIKE A CONCERT PIANIST AND A GIFT FROM GOD FOR RELIEVING PAIN. The only problem I have is with the rating system, it should have 10 stars. Lynn Janitz

I am a career trucker and just about all of me is a mess. I was very nervous and didn't know what to really expect about chiropractic care. I will need some ongoing work, and I already knew that beyond a shadow of a doubt. However, and as sincerely as I can say it, after my first visit, I couldn't be more convinced I landed in the right place. The Doc's expertise and professionalism was just so obvious.
His explanations about my conditions were direct, easy to understand, and compassionate. Not an ounce of rudeness nor at anytime did I feel like my concerns wern't being addressed. I can't wait to ultimately see what the outcome of my treatment is. His staff was equally professional and polite. This review was not requested nor was I compensated. I'm just a very very happy new client!

Please do not think merely "chiropractic care" when you hear of Dr. Bax. He is SO much more. I personally call him my Magic Man, The Intuitive, Dr. Oz (meaning extraordinary, uncommon, rare) and describe him as "simply amazing". He cares about you, the patient, and his main concern is getting you well. Of course, you have a hand in that, too! Do not hesitate to make an appointment with him for whatever ails you. You will be grateful you did!
