Conditions Treated
Headaches & Migraines
Migraines and headaches are serious health concerns that impact the daily lives of many people, often causing intense, debilitating pain. For some, the discomfort is so severe it disrupts their ability to function.
By realigning the spine and relieving pressure on the nervous system, chiropractic adjustments can decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraines and in many cases, help prevent them from occurring altogether. Chiropractic care has been proven effective in helping manage and reduce migraines and offers a safe, natural, and drug-free solution for lasting relief.
Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common health issues people face, affecting nearly 32 million Americans at any given time. In fact, around 80% of adults will experience back pain at some point in their lives, making it the leading cause of disability in the United States.
At our clinic, we focus on identifying the root cause of back pain and providing safe, non-invasive chiropractic care to relieve discomfort, restore mobility, and improve overall spinal health.
Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, reduce nerve pressure, decrease inflammation, and support your body’s natural ability to heal. Whether you’re looking for relief from current pain, preventive care, or ongoing wellness support, we’re here to help every step of the way.
Sciatica
Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve — the largest nerve in the body, running from the lower back through the hips and legs. It often results in sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the lower back, legs, or buttocks.
Chiropractic care provides a safe, natural, and effective way to relieve sciatica pain without medication or surgery. By addressing the root causes—such as spinal misalignments, herniated discs, or muscle tension—chiropractic adjustments can restore proper spinal alignment, reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, improve mobility and range of motion, relieve muscle tension and inflammation, and support natural healing and prevent future flare-ups.
Chiropractic care can help you tackle both symptoms and underlying causes to allow you to move better, feel better, and get back to the activities you love.
Auto Accident Injury
Car crashes can be terrifying and debilitating experiences. The effects of an accident extend beyond damage to your car; they often result in injuries, especially to the neck and shoulders, which can lead to chronic pain and fatigue.
After an accident, it’s common to reach out to your insurance company, attorney, and medical specialist; however, prioritizing a chiropractor is equally crucial. Most times we can assist you after an accident with no money out of your pocket.
Home or Sport Injury
Chiropractors can address pain resulting from misalignments, sprains, strains, and other injuries sustained in normal accidental injury with non-prescription, drug-free methods.
By facilitating your body’s natural healing processes, they help restore it to its normal position without relying on habit-forming medications.
Shoulder, Leg and Arm Pain
Our shoulder and hip joints are two of the most mobile and frequently used joints in our bodies. This combination of frequency and mobility has led to a wide range of possible injuries and sources of pain.
Some of the most common reasons for pain in these areas include neck and upper back problems, arthritis in the shoulder complex, abnormal motor patterns causing aberrant motion, participation in athletic events, and automobile accidents.

Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression traction therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pain, numbness, and other symptoms caused by conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, arthritis, and degenerative disc disease.
This therapy works by gently stretching the spine, which creates negative pressure within the vertebral discs. As a result, this negative pressure can help retract herniated or bulging disc material, relieving pressure on surrounding nerves. Additionally, it encourages the flow of oxygen, blood, and vital nutrients back into the discs, promoting natural healing and improved spinal health.
Posture Correction
Low back pain is also the number one cause of disability in the world and can be caused by improper posture. Chiropractic care helps improve posture by realigning the spine and correcting misalignments that cause imbalance and strain.
Through targeted adjustments and personalized treatments, chiropractors restore proper spinal alignment, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall body mechanics. This supports better posture, reduces pain, and prevents future postural issues for long-term spinal health.
Wellness Care
Most people are raised to believe that we are sick because we have symptoms. Have you ever considered sickness without symptoms?
There are a growing number of people that are starting to visit their chiropractor while they feel like they are completely healthy. This decision is starting to become more appealing because more and more people want to be, and feel, their best.
Low-Force Treatment
The thrust is faster than the body’s natural reflex to tense up, allowing for a precise adjustment without manual twisting or popping. Neurologically, the technique aims to restore proper communication between joints and the nervous system by stimulating sensory receptors and improving afferent input to the brain.
This helps reset neuromuscular patterns, reduce pain, and enhance joint function. The combination of speed, precision, and low force make the technique especially beneficial for patients who prefer a gentler approach, including those with sensitive conditions like osteoporosis, children, or the elderly.

The Benefits at Rivas Chiropractic
When spinal joints lose proper movement, it can lead to pinched, bulging, or herniated discs and compressed nerves potentially causing long-term damage, including nerve death. Over time, restricted spinal movement can even result in the formation of osteophytes (bone spurs), which may cause the vertebrae to fuse together.
Chiropractic adjustments help restore mobility, relieve pressure on nerves, and support your body’s natural ability to heal. Regular care offers the best opportunity to prevent these conditions and maintain a healthy, properly functioning spine.
