What does an Adjustment look like?

What Our Office Looks Like

Tens of thousands of chiropractors nationwide practice various techniques and styles of adjustment. With this in mind, we created a video on what an adjustment can look like at our office! Our office mostly uses hands-on techniques, though we have additional techniques that involve movement of the table or a handheld instrument for patients who prefer lighter pressure.

NOTE: Before we EVER adjust a patient, we always perform a thorough history, examination, and x-rays (if needed). This form of analysis allows us to determine the exact source of injury and the best techniques and therapies to fix it.

Depending on the condition, our office may also utilize a variety of the following techniques:

Rehab Exercises 

After careful examination and screenings, we determine the movement patterns that the patient may be missing. Overly tight muscles, while also having the weakness of others, can cause body imbalances. These imbalances may be causing our bodies to move in ways that lead to repetitive injuries. Our team focuses on getting to and fixing your pain’s root cause.

Massage Therapy

Our licensed massage therapist works closely with your case and can assist in soft tissue work and stretch therapy for tighter muscles. She specializes in the following techniques:

  • Neuromuscular massage
  • Passive stretching techniques
  • Lymphatic drainage
  • Positional release
  • Myofascial release
  • Infant & pregnancy massage
  • Thai Ayurvedic
  • Sports therapy massage
  • Medical massage
Laser Therapy

Our office utilizes a Class 4 LightCure Laser. This high-powered laser can penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular repair and offering pain relief. We utilize the therapy for a variety of conditions, including:

What Our Patients Say

I was nervous at first to go to a chiropractor, but this experience completely changed me. Not only did my lower back pain go away, but my sciatic pain did as well! The staff is amazing, especially Dr. Dockery! I recommend this office to everyone and anyone with back issues!

Nick D

Thanks to Dr. Dockery, my pain I had for years is almost gone, my headaches are less often and my back pain is no longer a daily problem. He also helps with my TMJ pain. I'm grateful to have found a doctor that actually listens and helps me!

Marissa G.

Dr. Dockery now owns and runs this clinic and is doing a great job. He is always friendly and willing to listen, focuses on fixing the areas of your body that are painful or troubling you, and gives a very thorough treatment that is worth every penny. I highly recommend him to friends, family, and all with back issues.

Phillip V.

Dr. Dockery is a wonderful chiropractor! You can really tell how passionate he is about chiropractic and how he truly cares about the wellbeing of his patients. The office space is nice and I felt very welcomed at my first visit. I've been recommending him to so many people since this is my first visit with a chiropractor and I had such a great experience. Will definitely be coming back- thank you!!

I am a truck driver and spend the majority of my day sitting. I haven't had back pain since I started coming here. Great people, great hours and best of all very reasonably priced. If you are looking for a chiropractor, look no further.
