You Don’t Have to Accept Pain

Chiropractic is beautifully simple. Your central nervous system coordinates your entire body, from your ability to move, coordinate movements, feel pain, even digest food. By removing any interference to this master system, your body can work at its highest potential. Don’t think that discomfort and sickness are part of aging or are inevitable – they don’t have to be. Allow us to help you do what you want to do, living your best life and exploring your true potential.

There are many benefits of chiropractic care. Research shows that chiropractic patients live better, have fewer surgical procedures, use fewer drugs and have an overall higher quality of life.

Techniques Suited to You

Our chiropractors are skilled in a variety of modern and classic chiropractic adjusting methods. We’ll tailor our work to your particular needs and comfort level.

Diversified. Our primary technique, this hands-on adjusting method involves adjusting or manually manipulating joints to help them move better. Your full body can be addressed, including your neck and back, hips, ankles, feet, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands. Joints that move better function better, last longer, react quicker, and are less stiff.
Cox Flexion-Distraction, aka Cox Distraction-Decompression. A gentle system of getting the needed nutrition to discs and related joints, especially useful for the lower back. It’s great for those needing a lighter approach who have disc problems or spinal stenosis, as it gently opens up space for your nerve roots.
Activator Methods®. When indicated or requested by patients, this handheld device can be used in place of hands-on adjusting. A rubber tip delivers a gentle impulse, producing movement of stuck or malfunctioning joints, and freeing up the related nerve function.

I suffered from severe headaches and lower back pain for 2 years. I had a difficult time sleeping and sitting for long periods. After my first series of adjustments my headaches and lower back pain were alleviated. Now I only come in for healthy wellness maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during a chiropractic adjustment at Performance Chiropractic?

Dr. Shaye and Dr. Panick tailor every adjustment to your comfort level and needs, using hands-on techniques like Diversified adjusting, gentler options like Cox Flexion-Distraction for disc or stenosis issues, and the Activator instrument for patients who prefer a lighter touch.

Is chiropractic care safe? Especially the cracking?

Yes, chiropractic care is generally safe when appropriately performed, and it's perfectly reasonable to have questions about it. The popping or cracking sound that sometimes occurs during an adjustment is usually caused by a change in pressure within a joint—not bones rubbing together. Our doctors are trained to evaluate your condition and adapt their techniques to your needs and comfort level. If you're nervous or have questions, we'll talk them through with you.

How is chiropractic care different from just masking pain with medication?

If your car is making a nasty noise, turning up the radio might help you ignore it—but it won't fix the problem! Pain can work the same way. At Performance Chiropractic, we look beyond your symptoms to identify factors that may be contributing to your discomfort. Our goal is to help you move and function better using conservative, non-invasive approaches whenever appropriate.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor at Performance Chiropractic?

No referral or pre-authorization is required. Same-day and walk-in appointments are welcome. If you have insurance, the office will file it on your behalf.

How often will I need to come in for chiropractic visits?

Everyone is different, so your care plan depends on your condition, how long you've had the problem, and your personal goals. We'll discuss our recommendations with you and check your progress along the way. You always have a say in your care. Once you've reached your goals, you can return if a new problem arises or choose periodic visits to help maintain your mobility and function.
