What We Treat

A multidisciplinary approach to recovery

No two patients or injuries are alike. Most injuries we see have both a joint and soft-tissue component — without addressing all of the tissue surrounding an injured area, outcomes tend to be sub-optimal. That's why every visit combines chiropractic, massage and physical rehabilitation.

Combined Chiropractic & Massage

Comprehensive evaluation before any treatment, using low-force and Diversified adjusting techniques discussed with you in advance. Licensed, nationally certified massage therapists incorporate everything from relaxation massage to deep tissue and sports therapeutic work to correct postural imbalances and restore normal biomechanical function.

Whiplash & Spinal Rehabilitation

Over 3 million people suffer whiplash-related injuries in the U.S. each year. Dr. Lindauer holds an advanced certification in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology and provides a comprehensive orthopedic and neurological evaluation, with early intervention to prevent symptoms from becoming chronic.

Spinal Decompression

Non-surgical cervical and lumbar spinal decompression on a Triton DTS 600 table, paired with low-level laser therapy, reduces intradiscal pressure without the risks of injections, anesthesia or surgery — safe, comfortable and well tolerated by most patients.

Common Symptoms of Whiplash

If you or someone you know has been in an auto accident and experiences any of the following, an evaluation from an experienced physician can prevent these symptoms from becoming chronic.

Neck pain
Headaches
Dizziness
Arm and shoulder pain
Numbness, tingling or weakness
Jaw pain
Visual disturbances
Sleep disturbance
Emotional disturbances (severe mood swings)
Difficulty concentrating / memory problems
