Three specialized treatment modalities, combined individually for your diagnosis — hands-on spinal adjustment, computerized decompression therapy, and extracorporeal shockwave technology.
Each modality addresses a different mechanical or neurological problem. Dr. Lam will recommend the right combination after your initial assessment.
Manual correction of vertebral misalignment. Restores joint motion, relieves nerve compression, and improves spinal symmetry.
Best for: acute and chronic neck/back pain, headaches, joint stiffness, postural imbalance.
Read details about Spinal Adjustment →
Computerized traction protocol that gently elongates the spine, creating negative pressure to draw bulging or herniated disc material away from nerves.
Best for: herniated discs, sciatica, lumbar disc degeneration.
Read details about Spinal Decompression →
Extracorporeal acoustic pulses delivered through the skin. Stimulates blood flow, breaks up calcified deposits, and accelerates soft-tissue healing.
Best for: calcific tendonitis, chronic shoulder/elbow/knee pain, plantar fasciitis.

Spinal adjustment is a precise, controlled force applied by hand to a specific vertebral segment that has lost normal motion or alignment. The goal is to restore that joint's natural range, relieve compression on the adjacent nerve, and remove the mechanical irritation that often drives chronic pain.
Every adjustment is preceded by a full postural and neurological exam. Dr. Lam adjusts only the segments that need it — she does not manipulate joints that are already moving correctly.
Most patients feel a measurable change in mobility and pain after the first three to six sessions, depending on the chronicity and complexity of the condition.
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, computerized form of traction. The patient lies on a programmable table and is gently elongated along the axis of the spine in carefully measured cycles. This creates a small negative pressure inside the disc — the same disc that may be bulging, herniated, or pinching a nerve root.
The result, over a course of sessions, is that disc material is drawn back into place, intradiscal hydration improves, and pressure on the surrounding nerves is reduced. Many patients with sciatica and lumbar disc herniation see meaningful relief without the need for injections or surgery.
Sessions are quiet, gentle, and most patients describe them as a controlled stretch — not painful. A typical course is recommended based on imaging review and clinical examination.
Shockwave therapy uses focused acoustic pressure waves delivered through the skin — no incision, no medication. The acoustic energy stimulates micro-circulation, breaks down calcified deposits in tendons, and triggers the body's natural soft-tissue repair response.
It is particularly effective for chronic tendon and joint conditions that have not responded to rest, anti-inflammatories, or basic physical therapy.
A typical course is 4 to 8 weekly sessions. Each session is short and most patients return to normal activity immediately afterward.

We listen first. When did the pain begin, what makes it better or worse, how has it changed over time.
Range of motion, palpation, reflex and neurological testing — to identify the level and type of involvement.

The spine houses the nerves that connect the brain to every organ, muscle, and joint in the body. When vertebrae shift out of alignment — from injury, posture, repetitive stress, or degeneration — they can compress nearby nerves and trigger pain, numbness, weakness, and even autonomic symptoms like headaches or elevated blood pressure.
Chiropractic care addresses this mechanically. By restoring proper alignment and mobility, we relieve the nerve compression at its source — allowing the body's own systems to recover.
That's the point of the initial consultation. Book a visit and we'll determine the right path together.
