By JohnAll of the doctors and staff at Rock Creek Spine are amazing! I was referred to them by my former chiropractor in Sunnyvale, CA because they were known for their effective treatments of scoliosis. I did traction and at-home exercises along with adjustments for several months. Now I have been a patient at Rock Creek Spine for more than 5 years. I just check in for quick adjustments every couple of weeks, and I feel fantastic! I have an active lifestyle (with 2 young boys to run after) and consider chiropractic care an important part of my self-care. I highly recommend Rock Creek Spine to anyone and everyone who cares about their health!Read More
In addition to chiropractic treatment, physical therapy and sports and injury rehabilitation, your doctor may recommend additional treatments to relieve pain and improve your health:

Therapeutic Massage, Spinal Decompression and Class IV Laser Treatment Spinal Decompression, Laser therapy and Massage Therapy are the ideal complimentary treatments to spinal adjustments for disc injuries and localized pain. Spinal Decompression effectively removes pressure from a the injured disc while laser therapy offers a safe, non-invasive reduction of inflammation and intrinsic healing of tissues. This results in a reduction of pain anywhere in the body, allowing for faster recovery time, quicker healing and better nerve function.
