Welcome to UHS Chiropractic

When you suffer from back pain, headaches or joint pain, every day can be a difficult struggle. In many cases, chiropractic care can help alleviate the pain and treat the injury or disease behind it. At UHS Chiropractic, we use drug-free natural healing methods for patients of all ages.

Our patients include adults who suffer from chronic pain or from work-related or motor vehicle accidents, as well as children who may require a gentle adjustment following an injury. We always maintain communication with our patients’ other healthcare providers, so that they remain aware of our treatment plan, progress and any other recommendations.
