Services
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy alleviates pain from herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease through gentle traction. This non-surgical treatment creates negative pressure in spinal discs to promote healing and reduce nerve compression. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced inflammation without medication or invasive procedures.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Customized chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment and nervous system function using manual techniques. Our doctors address back pain, neck pain, and posture issues through precise manipulations that enhance joint mobility and reduce musculoskeletal discomfort. Regular adjustments support long-term wellness and injury prevention.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair using targeted light energy. This painless treatment stimulates cellular regeneration to address conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and soft tissue injuries. Patients benefit from faster recovery times and decreased chronic pain symptoms.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections relieve muscle knots and chronic tension through targeted medication delivery. This procedure addresses myofascial pain in areas like the neck, shoulders, and back by deactivating painful trigger points and improving blood flow to affected tissues.
Knee Decompression
Knee decompression therapy treats arthritis and joint degeneration using non-invasive mechanical traction. This specialized treatment reduces pressure on knee joints to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Patients experience enhanced function and reduced reliance on pain medications or surgical interventions.

I have had adjustments, stem cell replacement, and also the hormone capsule injected. This has decently made a difference in my quality of life. I just thought that I had to live with pain. It's nice to know that without meds it's possible. Update**** Just went back for an adjustment and again went beyond my expectations. Dr. Shuester has been improving himself for his patients and again improved my treatment. I love the atmosphere and how I feel when leaving! The best non surgical treatment available!

I typically don't do reviews but I am so thankful that God nudged me to visit Back to Health because Dr. Schuster and his staff were so kind, upbeat, encouraging, and helpful to me during a very uncertain time in my life. Hip pain, nerve issues and loss of strength in my legs, along with soreness in my back were dramatically affecting my active lifestyle. After x-rays, and an examination Dr. Schuster suggested an MRI which revealed a herniated disc.
He thoroughly explained my condition to myself and my husband, and knowing we were not in favor of surgery, he also explained his decompression program. After just a few sessions, I began to feel much needed relief. Now, after 2 months, I have no back pain, my hips feel great, and I have the strength back in my legs. I highly recommend Dr. Schuster and his caring team and I am thankful our community has access to the many treatments Back To Health has to offer.
