Hands-on care, chosen for you

Chiropractic is the manipulation, by hand, of the spine to affect the nerves and muscles, including the disks and the overall alignment of the spine. Dr. Barton uses a range of natural chiropractic manipulation techniques (CMT) rather than over-the-counter or prescription medicine, which may only mask the pain and the problem.

During an adjustment she uses her hands to move a joint. You may hear a “pop” or “click”, like cracking your knuckles, and feel a sense of movement. Some people feel a little stiffness or soreness for the first few days.

Dr. Barton also uses massage therapy to relieve pain and help muscle tissue recover. It’s lettered right on the front window.

Treatment includes rehab exercises to improve how you function. Through stretches and exercises, rehabilitation strengthens the parts of the body that influence posture and movement, to correct poor posture and imbalanced movement and lower the chance of the problem coming back.
