OUR SERVICES

Services We Offer

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care helps improve joint function and reduces pressure on the nervous system, allowing your body to move and function better. It may be helpful for people of all ages dealing with back or neck discomfort, headaches, joint stiffness, or sports injuries…just to name a few! Many patients who choose chiropractic care report improvements in their general health and wellness too, such as better sleep, improved breathing, and increased energy.
Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a gentle service that uses very fine needles placed at specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system, muscles and tissues. It may be a good fit for people feeling tense, stressed, run down, or looking for added support alongside chiropractic care. Many patients find it helps them relax, release tension, and reduce pain. It is also commonly used to help improve digestion, reduce headaches, improve sleep, and as part of pre-conception/fertility care.

What We Treat

People visit Horizon Chiropractic for many reasons, from everyday aches to ongoing spinal concerns that affect how they move and feel. Our chiropractors work with patients of all ages to improve alignment, reduce tension, and help the body function more comfortably.

Many patients seek chiropractic care when discomfort begins to interfere with work, sleep, exercise, or daily activities. Others come in because they want to improve posture, stay active, or support long term wellness. For those looking for additional support, we also offer acupuncture, which uses very fine needles placed at specific points on the body to help ease tension and encourage a greater sense of balance.

Common concerns we see include:

BACK PAIN AND STIFFNESS
NECK PAIN AND TENSION
HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES
SCIATICA AND NERVE
POOR POSTURE FROM DESK WORK OR SCREEN USE
SPORTS OR ACTIVITY RELATED INJURIES
PRE-CONCEPTION, PREGNANCY, POSTPARTUM CARE
PEDIATRIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Because every patient is different, your care begins with a consultation and examination so we can better understand how chiropractic care may help you.

What to Expect as You Begin Care

Your personalized care plan includes three key phases: symptomatic relief, structural correction and stabilization, and enhancement care. Each treatment builds on the one before, to make changes to the way your body is aligned and functioning. Many patients begin to notice improvements shortly after beginning care.

As a chiropractic team committed to your wellness, we recommend what we believe is best for your health, and many patients choose to continue with wellness-based adjustments because they feel the long-term benefits. The decision is always yours, and you're in control of your care every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions do chiropractors commonly help with?

Many people visit a chiropractor for concerns such as neck discomfort, back pain, headaches, sciatica, or stiffness related to daily stress and posture. Chiropractic care focuses on improving alignment and nervous system function so the body can move and function more comfortably.

What happens during my first visit?

Your first visit begins with a complimentary consultation where we discuss your health concerns and goals. If you decide to continue, we perform a detailed examination and may take digital X-rays to better understand what is happening with your spine before creating a personalized care plan.

How long does chiropractic care usually take?

Every patient is different, but research shows that it takes your body about 90 days to fully heal. Your care plan will move through several phases to not only address the symptom you are feeling, but promote healing and stabilization of the joints, discs, nerves and surrounding muscles. These phases typically focus on relieving discomfort, improving alignment, restoring function, and helping maintain long term wellness.

Is chiropractic care safe for children and families?

Yes! Chiropractic care can be adapted for people of all ages, including kids and older adults. Our doctors use gentle techniques and adjust their approach based on each patient's age, comfort level, and health needs.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No referral is needed to schedule an appointment. Many patients choose chiropractic care on their own as part of their wellness routine or after experiencing discomfort that affects their daily activities.

When will I start noticing results?

Many patients begin noticing improvements within the first phase of care. Results depend on factors such as the nature of the concern, lifestyle habits, and how consistently care recommendations are followed.

We don't come to Horizon Chiropractic because we are friends with the doctors. We come because the service from the staff is top notch. They are always very friendly and accommodating. We have been to many chiropractors in my past and NONE OF THEM are as good as Dr. Hallum. The extent of his knowledge blows us away. He is always smiling and happy, very professional, a good listener and you can' tell he really wants to help you and takes a genuine interest in you and your journey to heal. My daughter and I both feel confident that he will get us to where we want to be. We trust him completely.
