How much does a typical visit cost?
Costs vary depending on the services provided. We offer competitive self-pay rates and accept CareCredit financing. We'll always discuss costs upfront before any treatment. Please call our office for specific pricing.
Chiropractic Care
Does chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort during adjustments. You may hear a popping sound, which is simply gas releasing from the joint. Some patients experience mild soreness after their first few visits, similar to starting a new exercise routine.
How many visits will I need?
Treatment plans vary based on your condition, severity, and health goals. Some patients find relief in just a few visits, while others with chronic conditions may benefit from ongoing care. Dr. Brady will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Can children receive chiropractic care?
Yes, chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for patients of all ages, including infants and children. We use gentle, age-appropriate techniques for our pediatric patients.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Absolutely. Prenatal chiropractic care can help manage back pain, improve pelvic alignment, and support a healthier pregnancy. Dr. Brady is trained in techniques specifically designed for pregnant patients.
Pain Relief & Therapy
What is the Hypothalamus Reset Technique?
The Hypothalamus Reset Technique is Dr. Brady's signature method that focuses on resetting the hypothalamus gland to restore the body's natural regulatory functions. It can help with hormonal balance, stress response, sleep quality, and overall wellness.
What is the Activator Technique?
The Activator Technique uses a handheld, spring-loaded instrument to deliver gentle, precise adjustments. It's ideal for patients who prefer a lighter touch or those with conditions where manual adjustments aren't recommended.
What are trigger point injections?
Trigger point injections involve injecting a small amount of medication directly into painful knots (trigger points) in your muscles. This helps relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve range of motion.
What is IASTM and how does it work?
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) uses specially designed tools to break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. It improves blood flow and promotes healing in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Weight Loss & Wellness
What is the ChiroThin weight loss program?
ChiroThin is a doctor-supervised weight loss program that helps patients lose 20-35 pounds in just 42 days. It combines specific dietary guidance with natural nutritional support drops. No exercise is required, and no shakes or prepackaged meals are involved.
What is InvisiRed body contouring?
InvisiRed body contouring is a non-invasive red light treatment that helps reduce stubborn fat and tighten skin. It targets specific areas using advanced light technology at our Radiant Wellness Studio location, with no surgery or downtime required.
How many body contouring sessions do I need?

How does IV vitamin therapy work?
IV vitamin therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for 100% absorption. This provides faster, more effective results compared to oral supplements.
Do you treat sports injuries?
Absolutely. Dr. Brady has extensive experience treating athletes of all levels. We combine chiropractic adjustments, IASTM, kinesio taping, and electrical muscle stimulation to get you back in the game quickly and safely.
Can you help with neuropathy?
Yes, we offer comprehensive neuropathy treatment to help restore nerve function and reduce symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling. Our approach addresses the root cause of nerve damage rather than just masking symptoms.
