Our Services in Springfield, VA
We pride ourselves on providing individualized care that helps our patients get the best possible results. If you are looking for a chiropractor in the Springfield, VA area, we would love the opportunity to serve you.
We offer the following services:
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of natural healthcare that involves the gentle placement of very fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body. These points stimulate the nervous system and encourage the body to release natural healing chemicals, reduce inflammation, and restore balance.
While acupuncture is rooted in ancient traditions, modern research continues to support its benefits for a wide range of conditions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy involves placing special cups on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction draws blood flow to the surface, which helps release muscle tightness, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation.
Although cupping has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine, it has recently become more popular among athletes and everyday patients alike because of its effectiveness in reducing pain and speeding recovery.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle treatment that uses a specialized table to stretch and relax the spine in a controlled way. By creating more space between the vertebrae, this therapy helps:
-
Relieve pressure on spinal discs
-
Improve blood flow and nutrient exchange
-
Reduce irritation of spinal nerves
-
Support natural healing and recovery
Because it is non-invasive and drug-free, spinal decompression therapy is an excellent option for patients who want lasting relief without medication or surgery.
Low-Force Instrument Adjusting
Not everyone feels comfortable with traditional manual adjustments. That is why Spinal Health Group in Springfield offers low-force instrument-assisted chiropractic adjustments using the Activator Method and Arthrostim.
These techniques provide the benefits of chiropractic care in a gentle, precise way that is safe for children, seniors, and anyone who prefers a softer approach.
Instrument adjustments use small, handheld devices to deliver controlled, low-force impulses to specific areas of the spine or joints. Instead of twisting or cracking, the instrument provides quick and precise adjustments that restore motion and reduce tension.
Laser Therapy
When you’re in pain, it’s easy to feel limited and frustrated. Stiff joints, sore muscles, or lingering injuries can keep you from moving the way you want.
At Spinal Health Group in Springfield, Dr. Josh offers laser therapy, a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to speed healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain—so you can get back to doing what you love.
Laser therapy, sometimes called cold laser or Class IV laser therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing in the body. The light penetrates the skin and interacts with cells, encouraging them to repair tissue, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.
Dry Needling
Muscle tightness and trigger points can cause lingering pain, stiffness, and limited movement. At Spinal Health Group in Springfield, Dr. Josh Alvarado offers dry needling to release tension, improve mobility, and help patients feel better faster.
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that uses very thin, sterile needles to target tight muscle bands known as trigger points. These trigger points can cause pain locally or refer pain to other areas of the body. By inserting a needle into the trigger point, the muscle relaxes, blood flow improves, and the body begins to heal naturally.
Although it may look similar to acupuncture, dry needling is different. It is based on modern understanding of anatomy and neuromuscular function, focusing specifically on releasing muscle tension and reducing pain.
