The American Back Center

The American Back Center is a place patients come to not only to feel better and eliminate pain, but to achieve and maintain optimal health as well.
We offer patients care that goes far beyond mere symptomatic relief; our hallmark is customized, holistic careâ?"the treatment of each patient as a whole person, not simply an isolated set of symptoms.

Every patient is given a personalized treatment program designed to improve the underlying factors that influence his or her health and pathology.
Our focus is the restoration of function, not simply the elimination of symptoms.
At The American Back Center, we offer a variety of services that can be integrated to form comprehensive, effective whole-health programs: Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Acupuncture, Nutrition, Lifestyle Therapy, Massage and Vertebral Axial Decompression (VAX-D®).
The quality ofâ?"and degree of continuity betweenâ?"each of our departments has supported decades of unsurpassed patient care.

Our approach to healthcare does not stop with treatment.
We recognize our job is not only to provide care to our patients, but to empower them.
Our priority is to educate our patients and assist them in making the lifestyle changes that are essential to feeling good, remaining pain-and-symptom free, and maintaining optimal health to prevent chronic illness.
Each patient is taught the fundamental life habits he or she needs to achieve his or her health goals and maintain a long, full, healthy life.
We view our patients as partners, not just the passive recipients of care.
As proud members of The Foundation for Wellness Professionals, our physicians believe patients and practitioners must work together if real improvements in health and wellness are to be made. From the moment our patients first walk through our doors, they experience an atmosphere of warmth and respect, which encourages this essential reciprocity.
