Starkey Chiropractic and Wellness
Chiropractic care is a healthcare approach focused on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving the spine, with the goal of improving function and reducing pain. Research shows that chiropractic treatment—especially spinal manipulation—is a safe and effective option for many people with conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, and certain types of headaches. Large clinical studies and systematic reviews have found that chiropractic care can provide pain relief and functional improvement comparable to, or better than, other conservative treatments, with a low risk of serious adverse effects when delivered by a licensed professional. As a non-invasive and drug-free approach, chiropractic care is widely recognized as a valuable component of evidence-based, conservative healthcare.
n addition to spinal adjustments, we offer a variety therapies to our patients. Everyone is different, therefore we tailor your treatment plan just for you. Our doctors will make specific recommendations for you depending on your condition.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets tight muscle bands and trigger points to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore normal muscle function. It is commonly used for chronic pain, sports injuries, and muscle tension, often providing relief when other treatments haven’t fully resolved symptoms.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
This technique uses specialized tools to detect and treat areas of soft-tissue restriction or scar tissue. IASTM helps improve circulation, break down adhesions, and support the body’s natural healing process, often enhancing flexibility and reducing pain.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses gentle suction to lift soft tissue, increase blood flow, and promote relaxation of tight muscles. It may help reduce muscle soreness, improve mobility, and support recovery from both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS delivers mild electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contraction and nerve activity. It is commonly used to reduce pain, decrease muscle spasms, improve circulation, and support muscle re-education during rehabilitation.
Mechanical Traction
Mechanical traction gently decompresses the spine to reduce pressure on discs, joints, and nerves. It is often helpful for conditions such as disc bulges, sciatica, and chronic neck or low back pain by improving spinal alignment and mobility.
Laser / Light Therapy
Laser and light therapy use specific wavelengths of light to support tissue healing and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment may help decrease pain, improve circulation, and accelerate recovery for soft-tissue injuries and joint conditions.
Exercise Therapy
Exercise therapy is a personalized program designed to improve strength, flexibility, stability, and movement patterns. These targeted exercises help correct imbalances, prevent re-injury, and support long-term functional improvement.
Nutritional Supplement Consultations
Our supplement consultations provide guidance on evidence-based nutritional support tailored to your individual needs. This service focuses on optimizing overall health, recovery, and wellness while complementing your treatment plan.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are designed to support proper foot alignment and biomechanics. They can help reduce strain throughout the feet, knees, hips, and spine, improving comfort, stability, and movement efficiency during daily activities and exercise.
Infrared saunas use infrared light to heat the body directly rather than warming the air, providing therapeutic benefits at lower, more comfortable temperatures than traditional saunas. Research suggests they may help reduce muscle and joint pain, improve circulation, support relaxation and stress relief, and benefit conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, and muscle soreness. Compared to dry or steam saunas, infrared saunas are often easier to tolerate while still promoting sweating and cardiovascular effects. When used appropriately, studies indicate they are generally low risk for healthy individuals, making them a gentle and accessible form of heat therapy. Prices: $15 for 15 minutes, $30 for 30 minutes.
