Care & techniques

Gentle first.
No twisting, no cracking.

For four decades the Peterson family has built its care around one idea: healing should be gentle, specific, and honest. Below are the conditions we help with most and the techniques we use. The right plan is whichever combination gets you well — usually with fewer tools than you'd expect.

What brings people in

What we help with every week.

Most people who walk through our door are not chiropractic regulars. They are expectant moms, new parents with colicky babies, office workers who slept wrong, and families who simply want to feel well — gently.

No. 01

Lower back pain

From sit-all-day stiffness to acute flare-ups. Gentle, specific adjustments restore motion without forceful twisting.

No. 02

Neck pain & stiffness

Forward-head posture, a bad pillow, or long hours at a screen. Often paired with shoulder tension and headaches.

No. 03

Headaches & migraine

Tension and cervicogenic headaches respond well to gentle upper-cervical work and soft-tissue release.

No. 04

Sciatica & nerve pain

Radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling. Torque Release targets the nerve interference at its source.

No. 05

Pregnancy & prenatal

Webster-certified care for low-back, hip, and pelvic comfort through every trimester — gentle and supported.

No. 06

Infants & children

Remarkably light, age-appropriate adjustments — often just fingertip pressure — for colic, sleep, and growth.

No. 07

Posture & wellness

Many of our patients have no pain at all — they come to stay aligned, energized, and well as a way of life.

No. 08

Stress & tension

A nervous system under constant load shows up in the spine. Gentle care helps the body shift out of fight-or-flight.

How we care

Gentle, specific,
and scientific.

These are the techniques we draw from once we understand what's actually going on. Every one of them is gentle enough for the whole family — newborn to grandparent.

Care · 01

Torque Release Technique

Our signature method, and the one Dr. Tim has practiced since 2001. A gentle, precise, instrument-assisted adjustment that releases nerve interference — no twisting, no popping, no cracking. Comfortable enough for newborns and seniors alike.

Webster Technique

A specific, certified sacral analysis and adjustment for pregnancy, practiced by Dr. McKenzie Slattery. It helps balance the pelvis and reduce tension, supporting mom's comfort and wellbeing through every trimester.

Pediatric & infant care

Light, careful adjustments for babies and children — often nothing more than fingertip pressure — for colic, sleep, posture, and healthy development. Parents tell us it's the gentlest care they've found.

Digital X-ray & exam

When imaging is warranted, we take and review it on-site, walking you through exactly what we see. Your care is based on what is actually happening in your spine — never guesswork, never a generic plan.

Care · 05

Interferential current therapy

Low-frequency electrical stimulation that eases muscle spasm and pain, often used to relax and prepare tight tissue before a gentle adjustment.

Care · 06

Intersegmental traction

A relaxing, motorized roller table that gently mobilizes the spine, improves circulation, and helps restore the spine's natural curves.

Care · 07

Prayer, on request

For patients who welcome it, we are glad to pray with you. It is never required, never assumed — simply offered, the way it has been here since 1985.

"We seek to find healing through gentle adjustments, genuine prayer, and personalized care."

— The Peterson family
