Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments involve precise manipulation of the spine to restore mobility, alleviate pain, and enhance nervous system function. This service targets misalignments caused by injury or daily stress, promoting natural healing. Patients benefit from improved posture, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness through personalized treatment plans.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Specialized care for infants and children addresses birth trauma, developmental delays, and musculoskeletal issues. Gentle adjustments support healthy growth, improve sleep, and boost immune function. Parents report reduced colic symptoms and better behavioral outcomes, emphasizing early intervention for lifelong health benefits.
Pregnancy Wellness
Webster-certified chiropractic techniques ease pregnancy discomforts like back pain and sciatica while optimizing fetal positioning. Regular adjustments support pelvic balance, reduce labor time, and enhance maternal comfort. This service is ideal for expectant mothers seeking drug-free solutions for a smoother delivery experience.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical decompression therapy relieves disc-related pain, including herniations and sciatica. Using advanced traction technology, this treatment rehydrates discs, reduces nerve pressure, and promotes tissue healing. Patients experience lasting relief from chronic back pain without invasive procedures or medication dependency.
Physical Rehabilitation
Comprehensive rehab programs combine physiotherapy, ultrasound, and corrective exercises to restore mobility after injuries. Targeted interventions address sports injuries, post-accident trauma, and chronic conditions. This service accelerates recovery through integrated therapies that rebuild strength and prevent future musculoskeletal issues.

Dr Matt is awesome! I had been suffering from migraines for 10+ years. Was prescribed med after med. I got to the point that I was having them almost everyday! I finally came to Dr Matt and they were GONE after 4 sessions! What a miracle! I also had lower back pain and hip pain to the point that i was living off ibuprofen. NOT ANYMORE. This was the best medical decision i have made in my life. Truly great Christian people!! Staff is so friendly and caring as well! If you are on the fence...just take that leap. Dr Matt and Dr Trish truly care for their patients' well being, you will be so happy you came here!!

My daughter has had reflux since she was an infant and was on meds for it until she turned 1, at that we took time we took her off because we thought she was through it. Come to find out it wasn't and we struggled with her eating for an entire year, and she started throwing up in her sleep. Her pediatrician wanted to put her back on meds but I hated the thought of her being on them again and never liked it in the first place.
I had saw a few of my friends taking their kids to a chiropractor for reflux and they said it helped tremendously. So last March we started taking her and she is a completely different child! We are so happy with her chiropractor care!

I started coming here based on my wife's advice and was glad I did. Having sat at work for many years, I knew it was time for a lifestyle change and Dr Matt helped me understand what was going on with my back and neck, and what we needed to do to fix it. With some changes of my own and a period of adjustments, my upper back and neck are much better and my lower back has significantly improved. I'm overall healthier, sharper, and happier as a result. I'd highly recommend New Life.
