New Castle, Pennsylvania · Since 2000
Two honest ways to move a joint that stopped moving, in one New Castle room, chosen for you by three chiropractors who each played the sport that hurt them. Same day appointments are available.
The practice, room by room
Nothing here is a stock interior. This is the waiting room with the fireplace, the table you get adjusted on, the table you get taught on, and the room the therapies run in.
The room you wait in
Stone fireplace, wood bench, upholstered chairs. This is a locally and family owned practice, and the front room is where that shows first. Spanish speaking representatives are available at the desk.
The table you are adjusted on
A manual adjustment delivers a small force directed at the angle of the joint to restore motion it has lost. On this same table, instrument style adjusting reaches the joint with speed instead of force.
The table you learn on
Relief is one thing. Knowing how to hold it is the next. Icing, heating and stretching, shown to you here so the same task stops costing you the same joint.
The room the therapies run in
Tightness broken up with ultrasound. Spasm reached with electric stimulation. The low back gapped with mechanical axial traction. Circulation pulled through with cupping.
What we actually do
Which one you get depends on the joint, on your comfort, and on your age. A hand delivers force at the angle of the joint. An instrument uses speed instead, and reads the tightness before it decides where to go.
By hand
A small force directed at the angle of the joint, to give back the motion it lost. Gonstead, Diversified, Thompson Drop, Flexion Distraction, Palmer, Sacro Occipital, Pelvic Blocking, and a cranial technique gentle enough for infants and children.

Instrument style and computerized adjustingSpeed rather than force. Sigma Instruments reads the resistance in the joint to show exactly where to adjust, then the computer compares the joint's movement before and after.Instrument adjustingTherapies offeredUltrasound for tightness and trigger points. Electric stimulation, by pad or by hand, for spasm and range of motion. Cupping for circulation and inflammation.Therapies offered
Decompression and axial tractionMechanical axial traction stretches and gaps the joints of the low back, distracting the joints above and below the tight area. It reduces muscle spasm and can help reduce disc herniation.DecompressionPain management and preventionAdvice about reducing pain over the long term without using pain medication. Balance, flexibility and motion work, and changing the way you do the one task that keeps setting it off.Pain managementHome careIcing, heating and stretching to cut the risk of strains and sprains, taught against what you actually do all day. Instructional videos, then the same thing shown to you in the room.Home careWhere it hurts
Every one of these has its own page, because the low back and the wrist are not the same conversation. If you are not sure which one you are reading, call the office and describe it out loud instead.
