At Valley Chiropractic, we specialise in helping you get back to doing the things you love — pain-free, active, and on purpose. Under the expert care of Dr. Chris Padgett, we treat the top five conditions we see in our community: 1. Low Back Pain – Whether it’s from sitting at a desk, bending over at work, or from past injuries, we address the root cause. 2. Sciatica (leg/buttock pain + nerve irritation) – If you’re experiencing nerve-based leg pain, tingling, or weakness, we offer targeted therapies. 3. Neck Pain – From tech-neck, whiplash, or posture stress, we restore proper alignment and motion. 4. Hip Pain – Often overlooked, hip joint and soft-tissue dysfunction can refer pain to your back and legs. We bring it back to function. 5. Headaches – Whether tension, cervicogenic or migraine-related, our spinal care and rehabilitation protocols give you relief without relying solely on medication. Types of care you’ll find with us:    •   Spinal Adjustments: Precise manual and instrument-based adjustments to restore joint motion and relieve nerve irritation.    •   Spinal Disc Therapy (Decompression): Non-surgical disc decompression for bulging, herniated or degenerative disc conditions.    •   Spinal Rehabilitation: A tailored program of corrective exercises, core & stability work, posture retraining and functional strengthening to keep you well long-term.    •   Lifestyle & Ergonomic Coaching: Because true healing happens when we change how you sit, sleep, move and work.
