Payment Options

Services
Our main staple is diversified manual manipulation. Dr. Cerniglia’s mastery of this hands on practice is renowned for helping individuals live a healthier, more comfortable life. Both adults and children can be helped with our care. The following are lists of conditions we routinely treat.
Adults:
Degenerative Joint Disease
Degenerative Disc Disease
Bulged or Herniated Discs
Sprain/Strain Injuries
Sports Injuries
Facet Syndrome
Sacroiliac Syndrome
Sciatica
Hip Pain
Children:
Due to the sports scheduling and intensity of all sports for kids these days, we have taken an active role in the care of children’s spinal related injuries may they be sprain/strain or more serious joint injuries. With children starting at younger ages and playing one or two sports year round, the impact on the body has greatly changed. We initiate pro-active care on younger children to prevent injuries. If an injury has occurred, we provide acute care and then post injury care to help prevent reoccurrence.
Chiropractic Care:
With our treatment we provide joint mobilization and manipulation of the spine and its surrounding soft tissue. By helping to normalize the muscles, ligaments, and tendinous tissues and then promoting normal movement of the spinal segments, we can help to optimize the function of the spine allowing more fluid movement, less restriction of range of motion and reduction of pain. Our gentle techniques have been used for 19 years on everyone from children to patients in their 90s.
We also offer the following techniques:
Cox Flexion Distraction for Facet Syndrome and Disc Injuries
Thompson Drop
Activator
Nimmo Trigger Point Therapy
Graston Technique
