Our Services
Chiropractic Care
Dr. Nowak is knowledgeable in spinal care and chiropractic adjustments. The purpose of spinal adjustments is to return the spine to a natural state of health and to restore spinal motion, reduce pain, muscle spasms, and nerve irritation, so you can enjoy your life pain free.
Auto Accident injuries
Dr. Nowak and Rita understand the stress and pain patients are in following personal injury accidents. We analyze, diagnose, and create an individualized treatment plan for whiplash and soft tissue injuries. We will thoroughly explain your treatment and update your insurance agency on your behalf.
Work related injuries
Most work injuries are caused by overuse and repetitive stress injuries. Overtime, small tasks done with poor posture can lead to acute and chronic pain, which can result in reduced worker productivity, lost time from work, disability, and an inability to perform job tasks.
Cox Flexion/ Distraction Decompression
Common Conditions treated
* Spinal Stenosis * Pinched Nerves
* Degenerated Discs * Bulging Discs
* Herniated Discs * Sciatica
The Effects
Cox Technique is an easy distraction (stretching) adjustment of the spine to realize the following advantages for the patient with back or extremity pain:
1. Increase the intervertebral disc space opening
2. Decrease the pressure within the disc to aid healing of disc herniation
3. Increase the size of the nerve openings in the spine to reduce pinched nerves
4. Revitalize range of motion to spinal segments
Cox Technique
Named after its developer, James M. Cox DC DACBR, Cox Technique Flexion Distraction and Decompression is a gentle, non-force chiropractic adjusting approach. Chiropractic Care offers this highly-effective spinal manipulation and decompression technique, a merger of chiropractic and osteopathic principles. This combo offers a non-surgical alternative to a more intrusive surgery for alleviation of pain in the neck, arm, back and leg, especially for the 1 in 4 patients who are 95% of the cost of healthcare dollars for back pain: the disc herniation and stenosis cases. Cox Technic's performance for these more involved conditions makes it a great approach for less extreme conditions of back and neck pain as well.
Spinal Decompression
Lumbar Decompression
Cervical Decompression
Cervical Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a non-invasive treatment for acute and chronic back or neck pain associated with herniated, ruptured, bulging or degenerative discs. It is safe and effective without the normal risks associated with invasive procedures such as injections, anesthesia or surgery. The theory behind non-surgical spinal decompression is that significant forces, when applied to the

cervical or lumbar spine can create a negative pressure in the center of the intervertebral disc, thereby creating a suctioning effect or vacuum in order to retract or reduce the size of the herniated or bulging disc's gelatinous internal nucleus pulposus, thus diminishing or eliminating nerve compression, while at the same time helping to deliver nutrients and water to the disc.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is used to treat any type of disease or ailment. It is most commonly used to treat pain in the United States. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as qi or chi (CHEE) — which flows through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, chi energy flow will re-balance.
