Shoulder Treatment

A woman in a white blouse sits on a couch, reaching back to her shoulder, gazing out a window.

Many people are unaware of how much we rely on shoulder movements throughout our everyday lives.

The shoulder joint is a very free, but unstable, joint. This means an injury can affect ligaments, tendons, muscles or even the joint itself. Chiropractic treatment gently and effectively restores shoulder motion, reducing the pain and immobility related to shoulder injury.

If you notice that your shoulder motion that has become painful or restricted, call us, we can to help!

AMAZING. Went in with a herniated disc and other MDs telling me to have surgery; Dr. Z and his staff fixed me up and I feel leaps and bounds better than I did when I began treatment. It is crucial that you stick with the treatment plan and attend regularly, and push through the "rough" patches. I cannot give them a higher recommendation - I will never go see anyone else. Try them out, give it your all, expect wonderful changes when you're done.

"I initially was treated by Dr. Zapf in 2013 for my lower back pain and several years later for knee pain. Since my recovery and continued maintenance treatments it has been a learning experience for me. Dr. Zapf, is not only my chiropractor but has been a teacher to me. Besides his treatments, Dr. Zapf has also taken time to educate me on how to care for my body, both thru diet and exercise, in order to stay active. Working on my daily stretches, exercises, and going for my monthly maintenance treatment has kept me active with a healthy mind. The key ingredient is to follow the treatments and prescribed exercises because it’s also up to you to help you heal. Working with Dr. Zapf, and following all of the treatments and care he has provided to me as a 69 yr. old woman, I now feel 20 years younger. I am sharing my experience because physically I feel good without having to rely on over-the-counter meds. I found Dr. Zapf to be the best medicine for me." January 19, 2023

Weekly, I am thankful that I trusted my body and gave it time to HEAL and avoid unnecessary surgeries. It takes time to heal the spine, but it's a whole unit that requires our care and respect - my lifestyle was forever altered and I still do exercises and stretches that I learned through Dr. Zapf, which ensures that my spine is cared, years after being symptom free.

Love Dr.Zapf. He diagnose me before I had my MRI -the results matched. When Dr. Zapf, said you do not need meds to heal your herniated disc, that was music to my ears. When I had my first session with him, the next day NO PAIN FELT LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.I said he has miracle hands. I followed his program and exercise and now I am fully healed . I visit Dr.Zapf, once a month for tune-ups. If I need to see him before my schedule time he is there to assist me. His staff is not only professional but easy to speak to and so helpful. I enjoy the office visit it is so ZEN..If you have any back problems he is the DOCTOR TO SEE....I rate DR.ZAPF,a 10...

I feel that I am now close to my pre-injury strength and mobility and I am glad that I didn’t give up on the non medication treatment. Thru this process I learned 4 things from Dr. Zapf: 1) Follow the therapy; 2) Be patient; 3) listen to your body, and 4) trust. I highly recommend Dr. Zapf. On a scale of 1-10 I would give Dr. Zapf a 10. By following his recommendations my condition has improved such that I have been able to resume my activities.

With Dr. Zapf’s therapy and his guidance on stretching and strength training my condition has improved such that I have been able to resume my running and bike riding. If you are experiencing issues with your back I recommend you give Dr. Zapf a call because you have nothing to lose but the pain.

My husband has been going to Dr. Robert Zapf for thirty years, and that tells a lot. He's a very good chiropractor.

He has got a great patient to doctor relationship. He doesn't push medication or surgeries and wants you to use exercise to get you better. He has special medical machinery to manipulate the back. I slipped a disk a couple of weeks ago and so I had to walk with a cane to walk and after 2 weeks of going to him I didn't have to use the cane any longer. His wife is a Nurse assistant and handles all the daily work, appointments, etc. and he also has a college student that assists that is studying physical therapy.
