In both 2008 and 2009, Dr. Ward was honored with being named the Virginia chiropractor of the year by the State Associations.

Dr. Ward is proficient in many different adjustive techniques including Palmer, Diversified and Carver Techniques. Dr. Ward also utilizes minimal force techniques such as Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Activator Methods, impulse instrument adjusting, and Thompson Terminal Point. Dr. Ward is also trained in the use of Graston Technique as a means to treat musculo-skeletal conditions (link to www.grastontechnique.com). Dr. Ward has trained extensively in the diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pain (pain of muscular origin) and can call upon many different soft tissue techniques to alleviate this type of condition and get you feeling better as quickly as possible. Terra Quant Cold Laser therapy is also available to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and enhance tissue healing and repair. Spinal decompression therapy and myofascial trigger point dry needling is also available.

Through your course of care, Dr. Ward will educate you on how to help manage your condition on your own, lessening or eliminating any dependence on outside care or pain medication if at all possible. If your condition is not one where Chiropractic care is indicated, Dr. Ward will refer you to the appropriate healthcare provider and discuss your treatment options with you. Mostly, however, Dr. Ward’s patients feel great and choose to visit him periodically just to keep feeling wonderful.

About Our Office

The goal of our office is to make your stay with us pleasant and comfortable. Although it is not always possible, we try to schedule enough time between our patients so that your waiting time is minimized once you arrive and so that your time with the Doctor is unhurried. We would like for you to spend more of your time getting better and less time waiting. We have morning, late evening and Saturday hours designed to fit any busy schedule.

Most insurances cover Chiropractic care. Our staff will verify what coverage your insurance allows and will file your claims for you. If you do not have insurance coverage, payment plans can be arranged, or simply use your VISA or MasterCard.

Our office boasts state of the art therapy equipment that allows us to treat a broad range of musculo-skeletal conditions.

Most new patients can be seen on the same day and if you’re just not sure whether Chiropractic care can help your particular condition, we offer a free initial consultation to help explore your options.
