At Core Roots Healing, chiropractic care is designed to address everyday structural aches and pains while supporting long-term nervous system and movement health. Our doctors use a variety of skilled, specific chiropractic approaches to meet you where your body is—never one-size-fits-all.

Care may include manual chiropractic adjustments, instrument-assisted adjustments, and gentle mobilization techniques, paired with soft tissue support and personalized at-home exercises. This integrative approach helps improve joint mobility, reduce tension, and support spinal and nervous system function—so you can move, feel, and function better for longer.

Acupuncture is a gentle, holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on restoring balance within the body and supporting its natural healing abilities. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture works by harmonizing the body’s energy flow to promote physical, emotional, and neurological well-being.

This energy moves through pathways known as meridians, which contain specific acupuncture points (acupoints) that help regulate the flow of Qi, or vital life energy. Each meridian is associated with specific organs and body systems. When these pathways become disrupted—due to stress, injury, illness, or chronic strain—Qi may not flow smoothly, leading to symptoms such as pain, fatigue, tension, inflammation, or decreased resilience.

At Core Roots Healing, acupuncture is used to gently rebalance these energetic pathways, helping the nervous system settle, circulation improve, and the body return to a state of regulation and balance. This supports whole-person healing and enhances the body’s ability to recover and function optimally.

Clinical nutrition offers a holistic, root-cause approach to improving health, preventing disease, and supporting long-term wellness. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, an integrative nutrition approach looks at how food, lifestyle, stress, movement, and metabolic function work together to influence the body’s ability to heal and thrive.

At Core Roots Healing, our clinical nutrition practitioners create individualized nutrition and lifestyle plans designed to optimize energy, digestion, hormonal balance, inflammation, and healthy weight maintenance. We focus on how well the body is being fueled and supported, and identify metabolic or nutritional imbalances that may interfere with blood sugar regulation, appetite signaling, fat metabolism, or overall vitality.

Our goal is not quick fixes or restrictive dieting, but sustainable nourishment that supports a healthy weight, metabolic resilience, and long-term health—in a way that feels realistic, supportive, and aligned with your body.

Common areas supported include:

• Metabolic health and weight regulation

• Blood sugar balance

• Inflammation and gut health

• Hormonal support

• Energy, stress, and nervous system regulation

Animal chiropractic is a gentle, drug-free approach to healthcare that focuses on restoring healthy movement and nervous system function in pets. Similar to chiropractic care for people, animal chiropractic evaluates and treats dysfunction of the spine and joints, which play a critical role in overall mobility, comfort, and neurological health.

The nervous system—made up of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves—controls communication to every organ, tissue, and cell in the body. The spinal cord travels through the spine, and when joints lose proper motion or alignment, a condition known as intersegmental dysfunction (ISD) may occur. Even subtle joint restrictions can interfere with normal nerve signaling.

When nerve communication is altered, the tissues and systems supplied by those nerves may not function optimally. Over time, this can contribute to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, muscle weakness, fatigue, changes in balance or coordination, immune challenges, and reduced performance or quality of life. Through gentle, specific adjustments, animal chiropractic care helps restore proper joint motion, support nervous system communication, and promote your pet’s natural ability to heal and thrive.

Did you know that symptoms of TMJ dysfunction are more than jaw pain and can include chronic headache and migraines, neck and shoulder pain, trouble swallowing and chronic cough?

Our TMJ Dysfunction and Rehabilitation program features a comprehensive evaluation of the neurological, muscular, and joint systems required to keep your jaw functioning normally.

This includes the head, front and back of the neck, shoulders, and upper back.

Our typical treatment plan focuses on the reduction of pain and swelling, boosting soft tissue healing, and improving muscle spasm. Jaw rehabilitation focuses on the establishment of functional muscle balance, with an increase in free range of motion, and the restoration of normal motion and stability. 

Visual and vestibular rehabilitation is often the crucial missing piece in treating dizziness, vertigo, migraines, dysautonomia, POTS, and post-concussion syndrome. These symptoms frequently persist when the nervous system has developed long-standing compensatory patterns following injury, illness, or chronic stress.

At Core Roots Healing, visual and vestibular rehab is used to help retrain the brain, balance system, and eye-movement coordination, allowing the nervous system to feel safer and function more efficiently. By addressing how the eyes, inner ear, brain, and body communicate, this approach helps reduce symptoms such as imbalance, brain fog, headaches, light sensitivity, and autonomic dysfunction—supporting healing even in complex or long-standing cases.

EDS is a constellation of disorders characterized by genetic abnormalities in connective tissues. At Core Roots, we address hypermobility EDS with gentle adjustments, targeted exercises, nutritional support, and visual/vestibular rehab to increase stability and reduce symptoms of pain and fatigue.

Disc Injury Treatment & Spine Decompression Care

Disc injuries can cause back pain, leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness — and they often involve both mechanical stress on the spine and nervous system irritation. At Core Roots Healing, we take a precise, movement-based approach to help reduce pressure on the disc, calm the nervous system, and restore function safely.

Our care is individualized and may include a combination of the following evidence-informed techniques:

Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT®)

Also known as the McKenzie Method, MDT is a structured assessment system that helps identify how your spine responds to specific movements and positions. By observing symptom patterns, we determine which movements reduce disc stress and which should be avoided. This allows us to:

• Centralize and reduce disc-related pain

• Improve spinal mechanics

• Teach you self-management strategies to prevent flare-ups

Flexion–Distraction Technique

Flexion distraction is a gentle, non-force spinal technique performed on a specialized table. It uses slow, controlled movements to:

• Decrease pressure within the disc

• Improve spinal motion

• Reduce nerve irritation

• Support disc healing without aggressive manipulation

This approach is especially helpful for disc bulges, herniations, sciatica, and post-surgical spines.

Spinal Traction & Decompression

When appropriate, traction or decompression may be used to create space between spinal segments, helping to:

• Reduce compressive forces on injured discs

• Improve circulation to spinal tissues

• Support the body’s natural healing processes

Movement & Recovery Support

Disc injuries don’t heal with passive care alone. We integrate guided movement, posture education, and progressive loading strategies to help you regain confidence in movement and return to daily activities safely.

Neck and back pain are among the most common reasons people seek care—and they’re rarely caused by just one factor. At Core Roots Healing, we approach neck and back pain by looking at the spine, nervous system, soft tissues, movement patterns, and lifestyle stressors that contribute to pain and stiffness.

Our care combines chiropractic adjustments, gentle mobilization techniques, soft tissue therapy, movement-based rehabilitation, and nervous system support to help restore mobility, reduce tension, and improve function. Whether your pain is acute, chronic, posture-related, stress-driven, or injury-based, treatment is tailored to your body and your goals.

By addressing both structural alignment and nervous system regulation, we aim to reduce pain, improve resilience, and help prevent recurring flare-ups—so you can move through daily life with greater ease and confidence.
