CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Cold Laser Therapy

What is it?
Cold laser therapy uses low-level light at specific wavelengths directed at areas of concern. The body absorbs the red and near-infrared light, triggering a physiological response at the cellular level. Sessions take only a few minutes, the therapy is completely painless, and there is no vibration or heat involved.

Who is it for?

Those dealing with soft tissue pain or inflammation, including conditions like bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, muscle strains, ligament sprains, and lower back or neck pain, as well as individuals recovering from surgery or accident-related injuries such as whiplash.

Benefits

Accelerated wound and tissue healing
Reduced swelling and inflammation
Less scar tissue formation
Improved nerve function and circulation
No side effects, no medications required

Cold Laser Therapy

Massage Therapy

What is it?

Achieve Health and Wellness’s Registered Massage Therapists offer a full range of massage services tailored to your needs. Therapeutic and deep tissue treatments incorporate advanced techniques such as neuromuscular facilitation, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage, PNF stretching, and fascial release. Relaxation, prenatal, postnatal, sports, and cupping therapy options are also available, along with guidance on at-home care and postural awareness.

Who is it for?

Anyone seeking stress relief, pain management, or wellness support, including those recovering from motor vehicle or sports injuries, dealing with chronic tension or anxiety, managing pregnancy-related discomfort, or looking to improve athletic performance and recovery.

Benefits

Reduced muscle tension and chronic pain
Lower stress levels and improved relaxation
Faster recovery from injury or exertion
Support during pregnancy and postpartum
Improved circulation and overall body function

Massage Therapy

Shockwave Therapy

What is it?

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves directed at the targeted area to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. The probe is applied directly to the skin, with sessions typically lasting about 15 minutes per treated area. The therapy increases cell membrane permeability and microcirculation, helping break down calcific deposits and activating the body’s own pain control mechanisms.

Who is it for?

Those with acute or chronic soft tissue pain that hasn’t fully resolved, including individuals with Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis or golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff tendinopathy, chronic pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, or osteoarthritis symptoms.

Benefits

Non-surgical, non-invasive treatment
Improved range of motion and reduced muscle tension
Potential for long-lasting pain relief
Many patients notice improvement quickly

Shockwave Therapy

Spinal Decompression

What is it?

Achieve Health and Wellness offers spinal decompression therapy using a state-of-the-art decompression table designed for comfort and effectiveness. The therapy creates a controlled stretch in the spine, relieving pressure on compressed discs and nerves and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Who is it for?

Those experiencing herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, chronic neck or lower back pain, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, or post-surgical discomfort.

Benefits

Pressure relief on compressed discs and nerves
Enhanced blood flow to affected spinal areas
Safe, non-invasive alternative to surgery
Addresses root cause, not just symptoms
Integrates easily with Chiropractic and Massage

TESTIMONIALS

I have been extremely satisfied with the excellent services and extensive expertise of Dr. Haitsma, who is undoubtedly one of the finest chiropractors I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. I highly recommend Dr. Haitsma to anyone seeking relief from physical pain.
- Mani M.
Was hesitant to go to a chiropractor but once I met Dr. Haitsma and was looked at, I was really confident he knew what he was talking about. Really friendly atmosphere and will tell my friends and family about my experience. Thanks again!
- Joey M.
It had been a while since I saw a chiropractor, and due to health complications, I really needed one to be experienced in his work. I sought out Dr. Haitsma and am so glad I did. He is so in-tune, so skilled in various techniques, and very knowledgeable in human anatomy. He knew where all my alignment issues were and helped them improve within only a couple sessions. He fixed things I didn't even know were causing other issues in my body. Within 3 sessions, my sleep was better, mobility improved, and my endurance increased. I'm going to be a work in progress, but I'm so happy to finally be improving!
- Sam H.
Nice, comfortable, and friendly atmosphere.
- Charles P.
Had a great experience, will recommend to everyone!
- Arryanna J.

- Julie Q.
Fast diagnosis. Two visits and I was well on my way. Very impressed with the Dr and staff. Would recommend to anyone with back problem.
- Anonymous
Dr. Haitsma's comprehensive care has allowed me to continue to participate in the lifelong physical activities I enjoy, as well as stop using OTC drugs to temporarily treat pain. I have had tennis elbow, shin splints, back pain, and migraines. He has provided me with assessments, treatments, and exercises to ensure I get back to optimal health. I have complete trust in his practice, and I would highly recommend a visit if your pain is preventing you from living a healthy lifestyle.
- Krista D.
My husband and I started seeing Dr. Haitsma out of convenience, because he's right around the corner from our house. We continued to keep seeing him because his care and expertise dramatically improved our quality of life. No more daily headaches or waking up stiff and sore in the mornings. He is also very kind and friendly. His receptionist is a doll. Highly recommend this clinic for any of your chiropractic needs or ailments.
- Natasha S.
It's been a long time since I've seen a chiropractor who cared about his patient more than the money at the end of the visit. I look forward to healing in the hands of a doctor as knowledgeable and caring as Doc Clarence.
- Darren W.
Clarence is a very passionate, experienced and knowledgeable Chiropractor. He loves educating his patients about healthy lifestyle and regular exercises as well. Has a great number of success to treat people with chronic pain.
- Kati S.
Great hours and days of operation! So many other clinics have terrible hours of operation.
