What to expect on
Your First Visit
At Hometown Spine and Sport, we strive to make your experience comfortable, relaxing and pertinent to your health care needs.
Traditional chiropractic has a stigma attached to it that makes patients feel as if they are a number getting shuffled through the mix with a brief and short treatment.
We understand that everyone is different and so are your injuries. Expect a thorough and detailed examination upon your first visit.
At the conclusion of your visit, the doctor will explain your diagnosis, how long it is going to take until you feel better, and how we can help you start feeling better as quickly as possible.
If the doctor feels that your symptoms would be better managed by a medical professional, then he or she will make the appropriate referral to a specific physician. We will also determine whether imaging (x-rays, MRI, etc.) is necessary before your treatment.
Schedule your appointment with Hometown Spine & Sports Chiropractor today and experience the difference expert care can make. Your journey to optimal health starts here!
We’re here to answer your questions.
Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle and effective technique that is used by many chiropractors that provides mobilizations in the spine and other joints. The adjustment has been studied to alleviate the pressure that is being pressed on muscles, joints, nerves, tendons, and ligaments. Current research has supported that chiropractic adjustments are moderately effective for acute low back pain, neck pain, and headaches or migraines.
Neuropathy Treatment
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where nerves are damaged causing weakness, burning pain, numbness, tingling, and debilitating balance problems. The damage to the nerves can be caused by many different problems in the body. Poor blood flow to the nerves, toxic levels of sugar in the blood (diabetes), chronic infections, pesticide exposure, and genetic variants are a few of the causes of this debilitating condition. The cause is different for every patient and it must be discovered to help the nerves heal!
Laser Light Therapy
Laser Therapy, or “photobiomodulation”, is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation, and decreased swelling. Laser therapy has been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses, and doctors as far back as the 1970s. Now, after FDA clearance in 2002, Laser therapy is being used extensively in the United States.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy may help to alleviate pain and symptoms associated with low back pain, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and lumbar radiculopathies. Spinal decompression works by gently distracting the spine by taking pressure off the intervertebral discs and nerves. Current research has found 86% of patients with herniated discs reported good to excellent results with decompression.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Our staff has a tremendous amount of experience helping expecting mothers stay pain free and healthy during pregnancy. Women can gain anywhere from 15 to 50 pounds during the average pregnancy. That increased stress placed on the front of the belly places an even greater stress in the lower back. We are proud to provide a chiropractic table that is suitable for pregnant women up to week 40. Our treatments for expecting mothers are gentle and do not harm the baby.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Hometown Spine & Sport is proud to offer Active Release Technique (ART) in conjunction with other soft tissue rehabilitation services. Active Release Technique is a specific form of a sports massage. When muscles are injured, scar tissue builds and may linger for months and even years after the injury. Active Release Technique may help to alleviate lingering symptoms from old injuries. Active Release Technique works by actively applying pressure to an injured muscle then stretching the muscle to break up scar tissue.

Client Testimonials
My husband and I have received personalized care for our various ailments at Hometown Spine and Sport, including chronic back pain. Chiropractic care helped me stay healthy through my sixth pregnancy and postpartum. I’ve noticed a huge difference! My husband is currently going through the laser therapy for his knee pain and noticing it’s effects. All the personnel are easy to talk to, especially the chiropractors who have great bedside manner and medical knowledge and the secretaries who are friendly and helpful.
About 5 years ago I started going to Hometown Spine & Sport because my lower back was so bad I couldn’t even put pants on without sitting down, after about 4-5 sessions I was feeling almost brand new. I have been going monthly ever since. The staff is unbelievably friendly and Dr Josh is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I recommend this place to anyone looking for Chiropractic work.
I highly recommend this practice! Dr. Dan and Dr. Josh are both phenomenal. I started seeing Dr. Dan in December for TMJ issues, and have been feeling a lot better since. Not only do the appointments help with my TMJ, but I can tell my body is moving a lot better overall. Both doctors genuinely care about improving your condition, unlike other chiropractors I have been to in the past. Outside of the actual treatment in-office, I’ve been given stretches and exercises to supplement my care plan at home. Not only do you receive a high level of care here, but everyone in the office is so kind and welcoming. Thank you, Hometown Spine & Sport!
