Where does it hurt?
Most of our patients arrive after months or years of pain that other treatment did not touch. These are the conditions we treat daily.

Neck Pain Stiffness, headaches, and nerve pain that starts in the neck -
Sciatica Shooting pain that runs from the lower back down the leg -
Peripheral Neuropathy Burning, tingling, and numbness in the feet and hands -
Fibromyalgia Widespread pain and fatigue that tests come back "normal" on -
Auto Accident Injuries Whiplash and crash injuries, including insurance claims -
Sports Injuries Sprains, strains, and joint injuries from training and play
Diagnosis first, always
You cannot fix what you have not found. Your first visits are spent on examination, X-rays when needed, and nerve testing, so treatment aims at the cause instead of chasing symptoms. From there, care moves through three phases.
- 1
Relief
Get you out of pain fast
Treatment starts the week you walk in. Depending on the condition behind your pain, expect 2–3 visits per week for 4 to 12 weeks.
- 2
Correction
Fix what caused it
Once the pain quiets down, muscles and tissues get the time and work they need to heal, so the problem stops coming back.
- 3
Wellness
Keep you moving
A quick visit 1–4 times a month protects the correction. You set the pace with your doctor based on how you live.
Every tool, one roof
Chiropractic alone is not enough for some conditions. We combine it with the equipment and therapies a pain case demands, so you never get referred in circles.

Patients, in their own words
Real patients from Avon, Franklin, and Indianapolis. Their full stories are on the testimonials page.
I have suffered with back pain for years. After my first treatment at SpinalCare I already felt 100% better. The staff and Doctors there were very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I was treated like a person and not just a patient. I loved my experience with SpinalCare and would recommend it to all my friends and family.
I have not had complete feeling in my feet for 11 years. I fell as a result and had torn a tendon because of no feeling. The doctor said neuropathy was the cause and there was no cure known. I saw the ad for SpinalCare and thought I would give it a try. After 5 weeks I began to have feeling in my feet and toes and could curl my toes. My younger brother couldn't even keep up with me and didn't recognize who I was because I was walking and feeling so much better. I can finally stand without trying.
I came in with constant neck pain and SpinalCare found the problem and started treating it with a 30 visit plan. At visit 20 more x-rays were done and the improvement was dramatic! I don't wake up in pain and I sleep better. My pain has gone from constant to sporadic and I actually feel a difference in my neck. On top of my problems getting fixed, the staff here is awesome! They are super friendly and obviously very knowledgeable.
