Our chiropractic care provides non-invasive treatment for neuromusculoskeletal conditions through spinal manipulation and personalized treatment plans. We address back pain, neck pain, headaches, and extremity issues using diagnostic imaging and conservative therapies. Our approach integrates with other services like physical therapy to ensure comprehensive recovery and long-term wellness.
Physical Therapy
Personalized physical therapy programs restore mobility and reduce pain through hands-on treatments and evidence-based techniques. We specialize in post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, and chronic pain management using modalities like Blood Flow Restriction Therapy. Our direct access program allows treatment without physician referral for 30 days.
Aquatic Therapy
Invented at The Hetrick Center, our HydroWorx aquatic therapy pools combine water treadmill technology with resistance jets for accelerated recovery. This low-impact treatment benefits arthritis, joint replacements, and sports injuries by improving strength, flexibility, and circulation in a controlled environment.

Services include relaxation massage, prenatal massage, and targeted therapy for specific injuries, promoting circulation and natural healing processes.

I'm not fund of many things in life, being "cracked" for head to toe is not my version of living life. However, due to my extensive physical activity, one's gotta what they have to in order to perform their daily functions! With that said, Hetricks Center is the place to go to get you back to life, between the P.T., to the chiropractor service, to the massages, to the aqua therapy! If you need Chiropractic therapy, see Dr. Greene. She's got techniques for the in-house visit, & ones for you to take home to do at your leisure!

After receiving 'so so' PT at another facility, my orthopedic surgeon referred me to the Hetrick Center. I received a thorough evaluation from Christy. I was suffering from a frozen shoulder following a radial head replacement of the elbow in March 2021. After 10 visits, I'm finally feeling as though I can get back to a normal routine. I was provided a great home exercise program to continue my recovery. Jenna was amazing: personable, professional, and I credit her for pushing me past the pain! Thanks to all the staff for their dedication.

This place is amazing! After being told by the doctor that they couldn't find any reason for our son's hip pain, Scott Coleman had him diagnosed in less than 10 minutes and fixed in a little over a month. If your having pain, go to the Hetrick Center!

Have been there a few times. Receptionists and chiropractor r nice. No body rushes u even the chiropractor takes time to talk. Chiropractor is VERY willing to work with u. I told him I did not want my spine manipulated and he had no problem with that. They have an aquatic (pool) physical therapy place attached to their building. Large on site parking lot. Being from Brooklyn NY I highly recommend and that says a lot!
