Welcome...

At North East Sports & Family Chiropractic, our main objective is to see how best we can assist you and your health needs. Often we are the last resort for many who have tried other ways to improve their health or to get relief from their problems.

When you visit our practice, three things will happen:

1. We will get to know you. You will never be JUST a file, or JUST a number. 

2. We will make it a priority to find out what is the underlying cause of your health problem or concern.

3. Most Importantly, we’ll determine if we are the right fit for the health solution you’ve been searching for.

We focus on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. And how this relationship may be related to your current health condition or health complaint.
