Are You Frustrated With Your Previous "Health Care" Results?

  • Are you tired of using prescription drugs and cortisone shots that only mask your symptoms?
  • Are you missing out on being present with your friends and family because of spiraling health issues?
  • Have you tried other types of chiropractic care and physical therapy with limited results?

Poor posture can strain muscles, compress spinal discs, and disrupt communication between your brain and body—leading to pain and injury. Even if past treatments haven’t helped, our approach provides a new path to recovery.

At Cummins Chiropractic & Wellness, we use the Foundations of Posture Protocol—a proven, research-based system combining chiropractic care and rehabilitation—to correct postural imbalances and restore lasting alignment. With advanced tools like digital X-rays and specialized rehab equipment, we help even complex cases achieve balance, alignment, and long-term wellness.

What Symptoms Can the Foundations of Posture Help With?

Poor posture often leads to inflamed muscles, chronic tension, and pressure on spinal discs and nerves, which can degrade your overall health.

Research increasingly indicates that these symptoms often arise from postural misalignments, which inflame muscles, create chronic tension, and place excessive pressure on spinal discs and ligaments. Over time, this stress can degrade the spine’s structure and disrupt vital communication between your brain and body.

Even if previous chiropractic treatments haven’t worked for you, our approach offers a fresh perspective and targeted solutions. Let us help you regain balance, alignment, and a pain-free lifestyle.

What is Postural Chiropractic Care?

At Cummins Chiropractic & Wellness, we are proud to utilize Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®), the most researched and evidence-based chiropractic technique. CBP® combines biology, physiology, physics, and anatomy to correct postural misalignments, providing lasting relief and optimizing spinal health.  CBP integrates seamlessly with modern medicine and the team at Cummins Chiropractic will work well with your medical doctor, physical therapy, sports medicine clinic and rehabilitation services.

Mirror Image Adjustments

CBP® chiropractors use precise, computer-assisted spinal manipulations tailored to each individual. These adjustments target misalignments by positioning the spine into its ideal “mirror image,” effectively correcting posture and alleviating discomfort. Backed by extensive research, these adjustments improve spinal function and reduce nerve interference.

Spinal Traction Therapy

Like braces for teeth, CBP® spinal traction gently reshapes and realigns the spine over time. Our clinic features customized traction equipment designed to fit your unique spinal structure. This therapy stretches ligaments and retrains your spine to hold its proper alignment, addressing the root cause of pain and postural issues.
