Chiropractic Manipulation
Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy restores joint mobility and reduces pain through manual and activator-based techniques. Dr. Manson employs neurological-based adjustments tailored to individual patient needs, using both traditional spinal manipulation and low-force methods suitable for all ages. This treatment improves biomechanical function and nervous system communication while addressing spinal and extremity joint dysfunction.
Myofascial Release
Targeted myofascial release treats chronic pain by applying pressure to connective tissue trigger points. This technique increases range of motion and reduces inflammation through specialized manual therapy. Dr. Manson's expertise in myofascial pain syndromes addresses conditions like migraines, sciatica, and TMJ disorders by releasing muscle knots that cause referred pain patterns.
Functional Medicine
Advanced functional medicine protocols use laboratory testing for food sensitivity analysis and nutritional profiling. This approach identifies immune responses to dietary triggers contributing to chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. Personalized supplement programs are developed based on blood chemistry results and adjusted through periodic retesting to achieve therapeutic goals.
Trigger Point Injections
Homeopathic trigger point injections target muscle knots causing referred pain. This treatment reduces inflammation and restores mobility by injecting specific points that irritate surrounding nerves. Combined with manual therapy, these injections effectively address chronic pain conditions that haven't responded to conventional treatments through direct muscle relaxation and pain relief.
DOT Exams
FMCSA-certified DOT physical exams ensure commercial drivers meet federal health requirements. These comprehensive evaluations include musculoskeletal assessments and neurological testing to confirm fitness for operating commercial vehicles. The clinic provides same-day appointments and official DOT medical certificates for drivers needing compliance documentation.

Dr Manson is outstanding! My wife an I suffer from back pain a lot. We're new to NM so finding someone has been difficult. A friend recommended him and he did not disappoint at all. My wife is moving so much better than 2 months ago and my pain is so minimal now and getting better. Dr Manson and his staff are so friendly and down to Earth people. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Report
I was in a car accident last year and felt terrible afterwards. Went to Chirospa for a consultation and went on a treatment plan designed personally for me. They take the time to ask you what is wrong instead of just doing a quick adjustment and sending you out the door. I refer everyone I know to them and wouldn't trust anyone else!
