Most treatments fail because they address symptoms, not the source of the problem. By pinpointing the root cause of the issue, we eliminate the guesswork and can set you on the path to recovery with confidence.

A detailed consultation, 30-point exam, nerve assessment, and full-spine X-ray to uncover the exact source of your pain.

Based on your diagnosis, we design a recovery plan specific to your condition and goals. No two patients are alike, and your plan reflects that.

Our scientifically targeted adjustments focus on specific spinal segments—not entire sections—ensuring precision and safety, even for complex cases like fractures.

By addressing the root cause of your pain, we set you up for improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and lasting spinal health—helping you return to the activities you love.

"I was suffering from a painful sciatica for 7 months and tried everything from to relieve it and was scheduled to get a steroid shot until I gave this place a try and boy am I glad I came. By my second visit, I was off of all my pain medications. I couldn’t believe it.
He assured me that they were not merely trying to deal with the symptoms but the core issue of my back problems.
I am so happy with this whole experience that my wife is next to get adjusted here."
"I've seen real and lasting results after just 2 weeks of treatment compared to 5 years with my primary physician.
I’m so happy I came for a consultation, everyone is so courteous and knowledgeable, and actually interested and determined to get the care I need. Thank Intero- Chiropractic and a big shout out to Dr. Zak, he’s literally the best!"
"I'm nearing the end of my treatment plan and my back feels better than it has in the last decade.
I was in two major rear-ending accidents (one in 2013, one in 2020) and have seen three traditional chiropractors. I thought the pain and discomfort in my back was something I had to live with for the rest of my life.
My experience at Intero has been very different. The new patient intake appointment is very thorough, and I appreciate the x-ray review.
Not only could I feel the results, but it was also visible on the x-rays. I highly recommend Intero Chiropractic."

Do you take insurance?
We are in-network providers for Medicare and Personal Injury cases. We are not in network with other insurances to ensure we can provide the highest quality of care possible. This approach allows us to provide personalized treatment plans, diagnostic methods, and cutting-edge techniques without the limitations often imposed by insurance companies. Our focus is on delivering the most effective care to achieve lasting results, which we believe leads to better health outcomes and lower healthcare costs in the long run.
How many visits will I need and how much will it cost?
This depends on your goals, as well as the extent of the problems. After we conduct a thorough Funneled Diagnosis™, which includes a case history, a 30 point exam, nerve assessments and full spine x-rays, we will be able to give you an estimated timeline as well as budgetary cost to achieve your health goals.
What is the process like to become a new patient?
On your first visit we'll perform a comprehensive diagnostic session which is crucial for understanding your unique health situation. We perform a full Health History Consultation, 30-Point Exam, full spine Nerve Assessment, and Full Spine Digital X-rays. This thorough approach allows us to uncover underlying issues that might be missed in a standard exam, ensuring we have a complete picture of your health.
After carefully analyzing your results, we meet again for a secondary visit to review our findings. We'll explain everything in detail, helping you understand your body's current state and why you're experiencing certain symptoms. Then, we'll present a tailored treatment plan designed specifically for your needs. This visit is your opportunity to gain clarity on your condition and understand which tools we'll need to employ to lead to lasting improvements in your health.
Do I need to take X-rays?
X-rays are essential to our diagnostic process. They allow us to thoroughly examine your spine before treatment, ensuring we provide the most accurate and effective care. We perform all X-rays in-house for your convenience. However, if you have full-spine X-rays taken within the last year, we can use those instead. Our goal is to have a complete picture of your spinal health to tailor our treatment to your specific needs so we are able to deliver the best possible outcomes for your health.
Also, if you have a contraindication (e.g., radiation therapy, pregnancy), please let us know and we will modify accordingly with a more detailed postural examination.
How do you determine the cause of my back pain?
On your first visit, we perform a comprehensive diagnostic process to identify the root cause of your low back pain. This includes a detailed consultation to discuss your medical history, symptoms, and care goals, followed by a 30-point physical exam to assess your posture, movement, and overall spinal health. We also conduct a nerve assessment to evaluate nerve function and take full spine X-rays to gain a clear and precise view of your spinal alignment and any structural issues.
By looking at your spine and health holistically—including posture, weight distribution, nerve condition, muscle tension, and more—our doctors can piece together a complete picture of what’s going on and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Can multiple conditions cause my back pain?
Yes, it’s common for multiple conditions to contribute to back pain. Issues like pelvic misalignment, spinal disc compression, and nerve irritation often occur together, creating a cycle of discomfort and dysfunction. For example, a misaligned pelvis can lead to uneven weight distribution, which in turn puts additional pressure on spinal discs and nerves. That’s why our diagnostic approach looks at your spine and overall health holistically. By identifying and addressing all contributing factors, we can provide a comprehensive treatment plan that targets the root causes of your pain for long-lasting relief.
How is your treatment different from other chiropractic care?
Our approach is rooted in precision and science. Unlike many chiropractic practices that rely on generalized adjustments or guesswork, we take the time to understand exactly what’s causing your pain before starting treatment. You wouldn’t let a dentist start drilling your teeth without first performing an exam and taking X-rays, and we take the same approach to spinal health. Our goal isn’t just to treat symptoms—it’s to correct the problem at its source.
During your first visit, we perform a comprehensive consultation, 30-point exam, nerve assessment, and full spine X-rays to ensure we have a clear picture of your condition. This allows us to create a highly personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your pain, providing long-term relief and improved health.
