Welcome To UHS Chiropractic

When you suffer from back pain, headaches or joint pain, every day can be a difficult struggle. In many cases, chiropractic care can help alleviate the pain and treat the injury or disease behind it. At UHS Chiropractic, we use drug-free natural healing methods for patients of all ages.

Our patients include adults who suffer from chronic pain or from work-related or motor vehicle accidents, as well as children who may require a gentle adjustment following an injury. We always maintain communication with our patients’ other healthcare providers, so that they remain aware of our treatment plan, progress and any other recommendations.

UHS Chiropractic is located at the UHS Orthopedic Center at 4433 Vestal Parkway East in Vestal, N.Y. For information or an appointment, call 754-4850.
