Chiropractic Adjustments

Our core chiropractic adjustments realign spinal structures to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. This hands-on treatment addresses musculoskeletal conditions through controlled force application. Patients experience reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and accelerated healing for back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

Spinal Traction

Spinal traction therapy decompresses vertebral discs to relieve pressure on spinal nerves. This non-surgical treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. Patients benefit from reduced pain and improved spinal alignment through customized traction protocols.

Wellness Programs

Personalized wellness programs integrate chiropractic care with lifestyle modifications for long-term health benefits. These comprehensive plans include exercise recommendations, nutritional guidance, and stress management techniques. Patients achieve sustained improvements in overall health and preventive care maintenance.

Pain Management

Targeted pain management solutions address acute and chronic conditions through chiropractic interventions. Treatment plans combine spinal adjustments with soft tissue therapy for musculoskeletal pain relief. Patients receive individualized care for injury recovery and chronic condition management.

Postural Analysis

Comprehensive postural analysis identifies spinal misalignments and muscular imbalances affecting overall health. Digital imaging and physical examination determine corrective care plans. Patients gain insights into posture-related pain sources and receive targeted treatment recommendations.

Dr. Pensa is awesome, and so easy to talk to with great communication skills. He answered all my questions, his staff is wonderful, I couldn't have asked for a nicer doctor and health care professionals, he is so worth it, all the way around, he still cares about his patients and gives them the one on one everyone wishes they could get from any medical care worker these days. I was so impressed! Thank you for the exceptional care and service you and your staff provided me!

I was referred to Dr. Pensa after a car accident in early July, 2019. Today (September 16, 2019) was my last day of treatment and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Pensa, Gianna and Arlene. They were always very kind, helpful, compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable and accommodating. I always felt welcome, well cared for and secure throughout the course of my treatment. The care I received at University Chiropractic was superior!

I am healing nicely and am feeling much better. I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of chiropractic services, Dr. Pensa and his team are truly the best! Thank you Dr. Pensa, Gianna and Arlene for amazing care, I appreciate all you did for me and wish you all the very best!
