Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment and nervous system function using techniques like diversified, Thompson Drop-Table, and Impulse Adjusting. This non-invasive treatment alleviates pain from back injuries, neck strain, and posture-related issues. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced inflammation through personalized adjustment plans.
Spinal Decompression
FDA-cleared spinal decompression therapy gently relieves pressure on intervertebral discs using the D.O.C. System. This technology targets herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain by creating negative pressure to rehydrate damaged discs. Most patients report significant improvement within weeks of starting treatment.
Massage Therapy
Customized massage therapy sessions address muscle tension, sports injuries, and postural imbalances through Swedish, deep tissue, and sports massage modalities. Our licensed therapists improve circulation, reduce scar tissue, and accelerate recovery for both acute and chronic pain conditions.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments utilize thin needles to stimulate energy flow and trigger the body's natural healing response. This evidence-based practice effectively manages chronic pain, stress, migraines, and women's health issues by restoring balance to physiological systems through traditional Chinese medicine principles.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART) resolves soft tissue injuries by breaking down adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Our certified practitioners use precise movements and manual pressure to treat repetitive strain injuries, improving range of motion and eliminating pain from overuse conditions.

David Lieberman was an absolute pleasure to work with. He legitimately asked me enough questions and was sincerely concerned about getting me healthy. The staff was friendly courteous and treated me like an actual human being and not like an insurance claim. I'd highly recommend Complete chiropractic as well as David Lieberman absolute professionals.

Great office! Staff is always super friendly and welcoming (a rare thing these days). I have been going to chiropractors since age 8 so I've seen my fair share of good and bad ones. At my first appointment Dr. Liberman acknowledged that and told me to just come in as I felt I needed, he didn't try to pressure me to come in twice a week like a lot of other places do. The last office I went to tried to sell me on a $5000 plan. No thanks! They just got a new Doctor here as well and both he and Dr. Liberman do a fantastic adjustment. Bonus points for the massage chairs as well! Helps relax you before your appointment!

I've been to numerous practices in town. Dr Monroe has done a few dry needling sessions on my neck and upper left back area. It has helped me immensely. What I love about this practice, is the straight forward treatment without the non-ancillary fluff.

I've seen both Chiropractic doctors here and they are great. I have also had a massage by one of their massage therapists and she was also great. The front desk staff are friendly and very welcoming. I've been using them for my care for several months without a single bad experience and plan to continue visiting them basically forever.
