Services & conditions

Hands first.
Tools when they help.

Every patient gets a real exam, real listening, and a plan that explains itself. Below are the conditions we treat most often and the kit we draw from. The right plan is whichever combination gets you better the fastest — usually fewer tools than you would expect.

What brings people in

Conditions we treat every week.

Most of the people who walk through our door are not chiropractic regulars. They are office workers who slept wrong, parents who picked up a toddler the wrong way, athletes mid-season, and folks who were rear-ended on 1604 yesterday afternoon.

No. 01

Lower back pain

From sit-all-day stiffness to acute disc flare-ups. Most patients feel meaningful change inside two to four visits.

No. 02

Neck pain & stiffness

Forward-head posture, sleeping on a bad pillow, or post-MVA whiplash. Often paired with shoulder tension and headaches.

No. 03

Headaches & migraine

Cervicogenic headaches respond particularly well to upper-cervical work and soft-tissue release of the suboccipitals.

No. 04

Sciatica & disc pain

Radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling. We often pair adjustments with spinal decompression for disc-related cases.

No. 05

Sports injuries

Powerlifters, runners, weekend cyclists, high-school athletes. Dr. Austin is the lift nerd you want in your corner.

No. 06

Auto-accident recovery

We document thoroughly, communicate with your attorney or adjuster, and design a recovery plan that does not drag on.

No. 07

Pregnancy & postpartum

Gentle techniques and supported positioning for low back, hip, and pelvic discomfort through every trimester.

No. 08

Children & teens

Light, careful, age-appropriate work for growth-related complaints, sports stress, and sleep posture issues.

Treatment approach

Hands first.
Technology when it actually helps.

The tools below are not a menu — they are the kit we draw from once we understand what is actually going on with you.

Tool · 01

Chiropractic adjustments

Diversified manual technique, drop-table, and gentler instrument-assisted work for sensitive cases. We match the technique to the patient, not the patient to the technique.

Ring Dinger®

A specific, non-surgical decompression maneuver that lengthens the spine in a single, supported motion. Often used for lumbar disc compression and stubborn radicular symptoms.

Spinal decompression

Computer-controlled, motorized traction designed to take pressure off compressed discs in the lumbar and cervical spine. Comfortable, quiet sessions of fifteen to twenty minutes.

Radial pressure wave

Acoustic pulses delivered to chronic soft-tissue trouble spots — plantar fascia, tennis elbow, calcific shoulder tendinopathy. Stimulates the body's own repair signals.

Tool · 05

Percussion therapy

Mechanical soft-tissue work that gets deeper than a thumb can comfortably go. Used to prep tight tissue before adjusting, and to release post-workout knots.

Tool · 06

Cold-laser therapy

Low-level laser used to support tissue healing in inflamed tendons, ligaments, and joints. Painless, no heat, often layered on top of manual care.

Tool · 07

Movement & home exercise

Short, specific exercises you can do at the kitchen counter. We would rather give you four moves you will actually do than fourteen you will not.

"Your spine is not a subscription. We will tell you when you do not need to come back."

— Dr. David Kling

Not sure which is right for you?

That is what the first visit is for. We will sit down, examine you properly, and design a plan that is honest about what will help and what will not.
