Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. Using techniques like diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson methods, we address back pain, neck pain, and sciatica. Patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness through regular adjustments tailored to their specific conditions.
Spinal Decompression
DRX 9000 non-surgical spinal decompression treats bulging/herniated discs by gently stretching the spine to relieve nerve pressure. This FDA-cleared technology improves blood flow and nutrient exchange to damaged discs. Most patients experience significant pain relief within 6-10 sessions, combined with muscle strengthening exercises for long-term spinal health.
Summus Laser Therapy
Summus Class IV laser therapy uses photobiomodulation to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue healing. Targeting deep tissues with specific light wavelengths, this non-invasive treatment increases circulation and endorphin release. Patients report reduced pain and improved mobility for conditions like arthritis, neuropathy, and sports injuries after 4-6 sessions.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Gentle chiropractic adjustments for children address developmental issues from birth trauma to posture problems. Our approach helps with colic, ear infections, and behavioral challenges through safe, non-invasive techniques. Early intervention supports proper nervous system development and prevents future musculoskeletal issues in growing bodies.
Weight Loss Programs
Personalized weight loss programs combine nutritional counseling with chiropractic care to address metabolic imbalances. Our approach includes dietary assessments, supplement recommendations, and lifestyle modifications tailored to individual health goals. Patients receive ongoing support for sustainable weight management and improved overall health markers.

This place is definitely worth going to for an adjustment. I'm in town from another state and was i was desperately needing an adjustment and he did an amazing job. I called and was able to come to the office within 2 hours of asking for an appointment and I'm already almost pain free. I'm used to Chiropractic adjustments and have been to hundreds in my life and he was by far one of the best and and very efficient, effective, and His support staff is very friendly and helpful.
Also just FYI if you are here on vacation and try to bike here from Litchfield properties, You will run out of trail and need to go back and get your vehicle so plan on driving. I biked until I got to the BP station and had to turn around because the bike trail ended.

Dr. Neil Fico, Darren, and the entire SSI team provide a warm, family atmosphere. Neil treats our older kids with sports-related pain, and he's helped me get over some shoulder and back ailments. We always learn something new when we visit too. Thanks, Strand Spine Institute!
