Services
Chiropractic and holistic healthcare services include treatment of auto accident injuries including whiplash, massage therapy, alleviating back and neck pain and providing whole food nutritional supplements.
From the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook Handbook:
“Because chiropractors emphasize the importance of healthy lifestyles and do not prescribe drugs or perform surgery, chiropractic care is appealing to many health-conscious Americans. Chiropractic treatment of the back, neck, extremities and joints has become more accepted as a result of research and changing attitudes about alternative, noninvasive health care practices.”
In short, we serve patients so they can enjoy life.
Nicola Chiropractic services include:
Chiropractic
Nicola Chiropractic’s approach to health care stresses the importance of prevention. Regardless of the injury or situation, patients can overcome pain and limited range of motion through rehabilitation.
Chiropractic treatment is a healthcare profession focused on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care most often treats:
- Neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain
- Pain in the joints of the arms or legs

Auto Accidents
Did you know each year, more than three million Americans suffer whiplash as a result of an automobile accident? About 10 percent of those injured become permanently disabled.
Additionally, nine percent of Americans suffer chronic neck pain as a result of an injury received in a low speed rear impact crash.
Neck pain is just that—true, searing pain. We treat patients with the latest chiropractic techniques to reduce and eliminate neck pain.
Risk factors for injury and/or poor outcome:
- Rear direction impact
- Limited range of motion; neurological symptoms after the crash
- Ligamentous instability after crash
- Degenerative disease, headaches, or neck injury or pain prior to crash
- Head turned at impact or occupant in poor position at impact
- Non-awareness of impact
- Non-failure of seat back
- The use of seat belts/shoulder harness
- No head restraint or poor head restraint position
- Female gender or advanced age

Disc Decompression
Treatment of Herniated and Degenerative Discs without Surgery
 The DRX9000 uses state-of-the-art technology to gradually relieve neurocompression often associated with lower back pain. The process relieves pain by enlarging disc space, reducing herniation, strengthening outer ligaments to help move herniated areas back into place and reversing high intradiscal pressures through application of negative pressure.
Treatment begins with a series of daily sessions for a couple weeks, followed by treatments three times per week as needed. Each session consists of 30 to 45 minutes on the DRX9000. Following each therapy session, a cold pack and/or electrical muscle stimulation is applied to help the muscles consolidate after treatment.
Learn more about the DRX9000.
 The DRX9000C is used to treat herniated, degenerative and bulging discs and facet syndrome. After four to six weeks of treatment, clinical studies have shown a better than 72 percent success rate in treating neck pain due to herniated, bulging or degenerative disc disease.

Laser Therapy
 Laser therapy, or “photobiomodulation,” is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects improve healing time, reduce pain, increase circulation and decrease swelling.
Studies show laser therapy assists with:
- Fibromyalgia
- Arthritis
- Shoulder pain
- Back pain
- Knee pain
- Carpal tunnel
- Sports injuries
- Auto related injuries
- Work related injuries
Researchers have found laser therapy improves soft tissue injuries, degenerative joint conditions, neurogenic pain and chronic non-healing wounds.

Nutrition
 Given the proper nutrition, your body has amazing healing capabilities. Nutrition should be considered on an individual level.
We recommend Standard Process whole food supplements. Instead of man-made chemicals, Standard Process supplements are made from natural, organically grown food.
Learn more about Standard Process whole food supplements.
Today, many Americans are overfed and undernourished. Consider the current obesity rate and what it is today versus 10, 20 or 30 years ago.
For that reason, we offer patients a detoxification diet and recommend implementing the two-week program annually.
When patients consult with Nicola Chiropractic team members, they get so much more than “an adjustment.” We’re here to help patients live a pain free, healthy life. |
