"The new facility is awesome. Almost as awesome as the staff. Always listens to my concerns and treats accordingly. If you have always thought about going to a chiropractor, don't hold back. Give them a try."
"We had a great first experience with Dr. Vance. He took the time to explain to my 13 year old the issues that were causing his back pain and laid out a plan to get it corrected."
"I hadn't ever been to a chiropractor before, and was skeptical. But a recent fall landed me on my back with bone bruises and ligament pain. I am now a convert! Using a laser light, they have helped me make steady improvement. Caring and attentive staff. Highly recommend."
Titleist Performance Institute
Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), the world’s leading educational organization studying how the human body functions in the golf swing, has spent more than twenty years building the game’s largest technical database from Tour professionals and everyday golfers. TPI collects 3D motion capture, force, pressure, launch monitor, strength, power, and movement data on every player who visits campus.
TPI found that a properly functioning body supports an efficient golf swing, while physical limitations can affect swing mechanics and potentially lead to injury. The Body-Swing Connection is the foundation of all professional TPI certification courses.

Targeted treatment
Acupuncture and dry needling both insert thin needles toward target tissue, but they differ in use. Acupuncture may address allergies, headaches, and depression; dry needling is typically used for muscular pain, with a plan mapped to symptoms and desired relief.

Nutrition
Lakeside can create an eating plan tailored to a person’s injury and road to recovery. Inactivity and excess weight can raise injury potential; the approach centers health and wellness, treating food as nourishment and fuel rather than vanity or moral judgment.

Class IV laser
Lakeside offers a 60-watt Class IV laser, a technology used by professional sports teams for ACL and MCL, shoulder, neck, back, ankle, knee, and plantar fasciitis injuries, and a 15-Watt Diowave laser. Though relatively new for pain relief, laser therapy has found its way into many chiropractic clinics and has been shown to provide significant pain relief; Lakeside offers it as a non-invasive, non-addictive, safe supplement for acute and chronic conditions, typically alongside other procedures.

Digital imaging
Digital X-rays provide quick, effective recording and storage, high image quality, easier transfer, and copies without the risk of corrupting, damaging, or losing film; digital development does not require toxic film chemicals. X-rays can help rule out conditions, verify injuries or abnormalities, guide a treatment plan, and share results with other doctors; Lakeside also offers Invisa-RED.

Spinal care
Back pain can range from a moderate disturbance to making it almost impossible to get through the day. Patients with pain related to ruptured or bulging discs, pinched nerves, failed back surgeries, or sciatica may benefit from spinal decompression, which stretches and lengthens the spine and can leave patients loose, agile, and pain-free. Many patients are nervous about spine or back procedures, so Lakeside’s certified staff prioritize safety and the patient’s best interests.
