Our Results-Driven Approach to Health
Chiropractic is a healthcare specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. Chiropractors are known for performing spinal manipulation, also referred to as chiropractic adjustment. They can treat a number of conditions, such as chronic back and neck pain, and have undergone extensive training in chiropractic medicine.
At Strive Fitness and Therapy, Dr Nick focuses on promoting healing with hands-on treatments, prescribed movement, and lifestyle guidance, so his patients can receive optimal care. He will often recommend an exercise program that you can practice at home to manage symptoms and nurture your recovery.
If you’re experiencing aches and pains and aren’t sure why, a chiropractor can offer alternative treatment methods that don’t involve prescribing medicine. Our specialists can help you reduce pain and restore functions that may have been impaired by an injury or underlying condition. Our practical approach works with all systems of the body through specific exercises and manual techniques that are tailored to your condition.

Common Conditions That a Chiropractor Treats
Our goal at Strive Fitness and Therapy is to relieve pain and improve function. Our chiropractor focuses on adjusting (manipulating) your spine in the body to get them in their proper alignment and restore mobility and function of the joints. We approach patient care with scientifically-proven techniques and treat a range of conditions, such as:
Back pain
Back pain is one of the most common conditions that chiropractors treat. Back pain can be caused by conditions such as a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and more.
Sciatica
Sciatica is caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Common symptoms include numbness, tingling, and pain in the lower back, buttock, or down one of the legs. People with sciatica typically feel symptoms specifically on one side of the body. Chiropractic adjustment can alleviate sciatica pain by taking pressure off of the nerve.
Neck pain
Many people have experienced neck pain at some point in their life. Neck pain can be caused by poor posture, muscle strain, and joint dysfunction, among other injuries or conditions. Chiropractic adjustment at Strive Fitness and Therapy can help improve spinal motion and reduce pain.
Headaches
Chiropractic treatment can be an effective way to reduce symptoms of different types of headaches, including migraines, tension headaches, and cervicogenic headaches. Headaches can be treated with spinal manipulation and lifestyle modifications to help with issues like stress management, sleep habits, and more.
Soft tissue injuries
Chiropractors can help people recover from injuries and enhance their overall physical performance. Soft tissue injuries include sprains and strains, overuse-type injuries, and damage to the joints and surrounding tissues (i.e., cartilage).
Arthritis
Individuals with arthritis may benefit from chiropractic care because it can help reduce pain and improve mobility. Pain, inflammation, and restricted range of motion are common symptoms of arthritis.
By embracing a research-backed approach, chiropractors consider the whole person when devising personalized treatment plans. Their expertise can help you overcome discomfort, regain mobility, and enjoy the lasting benefits of a healthier, more active lifestyle.
Chiropractic Treatments
At your initial assessment, we discuss your medical history, symptoms, and other contributing lifestyle factors. Each component of your health will help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you.
Some of our most commonly used treatments include:
Manual therapy
Chiropractors often use their hands to treat issues like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. There are several manual therapy techniques, including the following:
- Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustment plays a significant role in treatment. Also known as spinal or joint manipulation, this technique works by applying a controlled force to a joint, which improves its range of motion and alleviates pain.
- Soft tissue work: Chiropractors often use techniques such as trigger point therapy or myofascial release to address issues in the muscles, tendons, and fascia surrounding the spine or other joints. Focusing on the body’s soft tissues helps reduce tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.
Corrective exercises
Corrective exercises can help patients properly strengthen muscles, improve posture, and increase flexibility.
Postural education
Poor posture is a common cause of issues like back and neck pain. If this applies to you, your chiropractor will teach you how to maintain proper posture during daily activities.
Ergonomic advice
To ensure success in your recovery, your chiropractor may help you modify your work or home environment. They will make suggestions to minimize strain on the musculoskeletal system.
Nutritional counseling
Our chiropractor may provide nutrition education and teach you how it can help improve your symptoms and overall health.
At Strive Fitness and Therapy, we use the most effective and advanced methods of treatment to develop results as quickly as possible. With the help of your chiropractor, you can enjoy a significant improvement in your pain and overall quality of life. We understand the importance of getting the results you deserve and are committed to guiding you through every step of your recovery journey.
