CHIROPRACTIC, ACUPUNCTURE AND POST ACCIDENT CARE

Chiropractic care benefits people of all ages and all life experiences looking to feel better, take their health journey to the next step, and remove the symptoms of pain and discomfort in their lives. In addition to chiropractic for neck and back pain, we also specialize in post-injury recovery from auto accidents and falls.

Similarly, acupuncture complements chiropractic, boosting your body's nervous system and ability to function. It takes your chiropractic adjustments to the next level, but it's also available as a stand-alone treatment.

BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF

Our treatment approach includes whole-body wellness. We are just as concerned about your mental and emotional wellness as your physical health. This is not a factory-style chiropractic approach, where patients are ushered in and out and sent on their way.

We take our time to understand what our patients are feeling and the symptoms they're experiencing so we can find the most appropriate treatment methods to relieve them. We are invested in seeing every patient experience an improvement in their quality of life so that they can be the best version of themselves.

This is the second office I have visited in Bloomington, but Dr. Peffer really cares about his patients which is refreshing. I feel like I am receiving quality service & hospitality when I go into the office. My husband referred me and I have already recommended a couple of my co-workers.

Following the examination and x-rays (if necessary), we perform a mini-massage with our RRT machine and a hydro-bed massage. We then schedule another visit for you to come back, see your x-rays (if performed), discuss the findings, and create a personalized treatment plan specifically formulated to correct your specific health concern.

What's the cracking sound during a chiropractic adjustment?
