Services
Spinal Adjustments
Spinal adjustments restore proper vertebral function through manual manipulation or instrument-assisted techniques. This alleviates pain from misalignments caused by daily stress, trauma, or poor posture. Patients experience improved mobility, reduced nerve irritation, and enhanced overall wellness through this core chiropractic treatment.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses thin needles at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This ancient Chinese practice addresses chronic pain, migraines, and inflammation by balancing energy flow and releasing endorphins. Sessions include personalized consultations to tailor treatments to individual health needs.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression applies controlled traction to relieve pressure on compressed discs. This non-surgical treatment reduces nerve impingement, alleviates back pain, and promotes disc healing. Clinical studies show 92% patient improvement rates, making it an effective alternative to invasive procedures.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses low-level light to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive modality accelerates healing for conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and soft tissue injuries. Patients benefit from pain relief and improved function without medication or downtime.
Therapeutic Exercise
Customized therapeutic exercises strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent recurring injuries. Our doctors prescribe specific movements for conditions like neck pain and sports injuries, combining in-office guidance with home exercise programs to enhance treatment outcomes and long-term wellness.

Report
After 40+ years as a flooring installer both my shoulders suffer arthritis and almost down to bone on bone. I have been getting steroid shots in both shoulders every 3 months with little relief. Dr. Hjort suggested acupuncture and after 4 visits my pain has drastically reduced and my reliance on creams and ibuprofen is gone. I would not have expected or hoped for the results I have received and would highly recommend this for anyone with this type of pain.

Report
I had knee pain that lasted 3 1/2 years, did the typical treatments, ice, heat, braces, pain killers, etc. I did 4 acupuncture treatments and I was pain free. A few months later I reinjured the knee falling in a creek bed, three acupuncture treatments I was pain free again. I also hurt my upper left back lifting something I should not have, 2 acupuncture treatments and I was pain free. I urge anyone with chronic pain to give acupuncture a try, its painless and no side effects.
