Spinal Decompression

We utilize Spinal Decompression for treatment of cervical and lumbar herniated discs, protruding discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, sciatica and other more complex cases.  These benefits are achieved through spinal decompression. This method is a well documented, proven, non-surgical option for the treatment of moderate to severe back and neck pain.  Of those who undergo this treatment, only 4% will require surgery.  read more»

Physics/Physiology Behind Light Therapy:

The basic unit of light is the photon. Each photon carries a unique amout of energy depending on factors such as wavelength. When we apply light to biological tissues the energy (photons) are absorbed into the cells and used to power metabolic processes. Our light therapy is in both the 660 and 880 nanometer range (one billionth of a meter), both in the infrared and also in the non-visible range. The end result is faster pain relief and recovery.

Intersegmental Traction:

We gently add motion to each vertebral joint to increase circulation, reduce scar tissue and enhance the effectiveness of your adjustments. read more»

Dr. Schultz Asks some important questions of interest to Johnston residents - Chiropractor Johnston Dr. Schultz Asks...

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more Johnston parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
