Chiropractic Care

While chiropractic care cannot “heal” a herniated disc, it can significantly reduce pain by alleviating pressure on the disc and promoting natural healing. Many patients find long-term relief through spinal adjustments and decompression therapy.

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the disc injury, but most patients start to feel relief after a few sessions. Full recovery may take several weeks of consistent chiropractic care.

Yes, spinal decompression is a safe and non-invasive treatment for disc pain. It gently stretches the spine, creating space for the damaged disc to heal while reducing pressure on nearby nerves.

I’ve had a great experience with this chiropractor. The entire staff is professional, friendly, and welcoming. They genuinely care about their patients and take the time to understand your pain and concerns. Since starting my treatment after my accident, I’ve felt well taken care of. The chiropractor is knowledgeable, attentive, and makes sure I’m comfortable during every visit. The office is clean, organized, and appointments run smoothly even if you get there ahead of time they’ll still take you. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality chiropractic care and a team that truly cares about your recovery.
I have been going to DeCrescenzo Chiropractic for many years now. I come in mostly incapacitated and after a few sessions leave with full mobility. I’m always seen in less than 24 hours and the Doctors and support staff are always friendly and caring. It is truly like family.

Muy Profesional estoy satisfecho con los resultados
I have had so much success with this group. The service is very professional and accommodating. The shock wave therapy has worked wonders as well as the traction.
Everyone was very thoughtful and helpful. The space is beautiful. And after 26 days of headache, I had my first 2 headache free days after my first visit.
My first visit ever to a chiropractor.

Nice office: furniture like someone’s living room! Very clean and no dust anywhere.

Courteous staff. Dr Annie G was also very cordial and open for questions and did a thorough job of questioning me about details of reason for my visit.

This was followed by a careful exam of my back by deep palpation and then a minor adjustment of my L hip.

The visit concluded with an EMG (electric pads treatment) of my upper shoulders by her medical assistant for 10 minutes which was a bit surreal because it felt like a massage but no one was pressing anything. It felt very good basically once I got used to it.

Doctor Annie G took a moment to say goodbye and her receptionist said they were faxing her recommendations for X-rays to my primary care MD so the price of these X-rays would be covered by my insurance. Thoughtful.

I was billed $50 for first visit since it was not covered by my insurance or Medicare.

My primary insurance is Tri-care since I’m retired military and I was disappointed it was not accepted. When I looked into it, it would not have covered a first visit anyway though.

I guess I will just have to see how my secondary insurer Medicare handles these visits.

But otherwise, I was highly satisfied and I want to continue my care here.

So it’s been 2 months of treatment now. I am now down to every 2 weeks. The problems with my neck are much improved. My lower back still bothers me but it isn’t every day any more and overall it’s improved so I can walk more comfortably. I am continuing my visits and although the doctor urged me to come in anytime I was having a bad day and she would squeeze me in! This has not been necessary but I appreciated her telling me that.

Medicare is covering my visits except for a small Co-pay. I continue to highly recommend Decrecenso Chiropractic and Dr Annie G and her assistants and staff to anyone who has pain issues with their neck or lower back similar to mine.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Frankie Rodriguez and the entire team. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and professional throughout my recovery after my accident. Dr. Rodriguez took excellent care of both me and my son, and I truly appreciated how attentive and caring he was with us. I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great chiropractic care!
