  • CHIROPRACTIC Care
    Your body was made to move—but pain, stiffness, and joint restrictions can hold you back. Joint mobilization and manipulation help restore mobility, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall function, whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to enhance performance. For spinal health, therapeutic spinal traction is a powerful, non-invasive technique that relieves pressure on nerves, supports disc healing, and alleviates discomfort from conditions like sciatica and herniated discs. If pain or limited movement is interfering with your life, there’s a solution. Learn More
  • Myofascial/Mobility/Rehab
    Muscle tightness, imbalances, and restrictions can limit your movement and lead to discomfort. Myofascial release, mobility work, and rehabilitation techniques help restore proper function, reduce pain, and enhance movement efficiency—whether you're recovering from an injury or aiming to optimize performance. From Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) with RockBlades to kinesiology taping with RockTape and cupping therapy with RockPods, these specialized techniques promote blood flow, mobility, and faster recovery by targeting fascial restrictions and muscular imbalances.

Effective for: Arthritis, tendonitis, sports injuries, joint pain, sciatica, and post-surgical recovery.

Class IV laser therapy is a powerful, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pain, accelerate healing, and minimize inflammation at a cellular level. When applied to the skin, high-energy light waves penetrate several centimeters into the tissues, where they are absorbed by the mitochondria—the cell’s energy generators. This stimulates cellular repair, enhances circulation, and promotes faster tissue regeneration, making it an effective therapy for injuries, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal conditions.

This energy results in the restoration of normal cell function. The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions but at an enhanced rate. Learn about Laser Therapy here.

What Clients Are Saying

Emily J

This was my first experience going to a Chiropractor. I was honestly very nervous. I can’t believe I waited so long! After 2 9+ pound babies, I was all out of whack. After my first appointment I instantly felt better. I’ve told everyone to go and highly recommend it! Dr. Candice is the best!

Rabab C

Check out Dr. Candice’s new office! After recently learning that she offers alternative treatment for my ongoing plantar fasciitis pain, I booked an appointment with her and had a great experience. She has many years experience, is very professional, friendly, hard working and so easy to talk to. I love that she didn’t just jump to “cortisone shot” for my foot like the podiatrists I have seen in the past. I have done one round of laser therapy so far and it was quick and painless. I am looking forward to my next sessions with her. If you are looking for someone new and experienced to help with ongoing pain, give her a call!

Megan R

Dr. Candice’s powerful new Wellness for Warriors business is open, and I’m excited to be back under her care. Dr Candice’s work is thorough, educational, and she is attentive to my experience, pain, and personal goals. She is an experienced practitioner who uses a variety of techniques to support my healing. I highly recommend Dr. Candice!

John G

Dr Pollack treats me and is very good and careful with the treatments.

Norma B

Dr Candice is very detailed. Very professional and easy to talk to. Highly recommend Dr Candice

Sarah N

Dr. Candice is amazing! My back has never felt better and I would recommend her to anyone!

Dan P

Dr. Pollack helped me with intense Achilles and hip pain that limited my CrossFit workouts. Highly recommend!!

Sue T

I had chronic neck and shoulder pain, Dr Candice did the laser treatment and my pain has almost totally disappeared. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm a believer.

Shauna C

Dr. Pollack is absolutely amazing. From being very athletic growing up to having a hazardous duty job now, I was pretty confident that I would have to go through every day in some sort of pain. Dr. Pollack proved me wrong. She’s worked on everything from my neck all the way down to my knees. My performance at work has increased because of her. She genuinely cares about her patients and finds the right process to relieving any pain you have. I have never really recommended anybody to anyone, but I will hands down recommend going to Dr. Pollack. You will not regret it!

Rachel B

I personally have seen Dr. Candice. She is professional and always on time. I don’t feel like I am just a number like I have in the past at other places. She takes the time to listen and pinpoint any issues. I instantly feel some relief before I leave my appointments! Recommend 10/10!

Dawn S

I’ve been seeing Candice for years now. She has used the laser therapy on my shoulder, arm and most recently my elbow after breaking it. It helped me heal so much faster! The laser helps me be out of pain to continue working at my usual pace. I totally recommend for any pain or discomfort

Crystal C

I went to the Doctor with pain going down my leg and was diagnosed with a slipped disc after my primary care Doctor lifted my legs and pushed and poked in a few places. I left the appointment feeling quite bummed and went to the pharmacy. I filled the prescriptions for three different medications, muscle relaxers 2 times a day, Motrin around the clock, and pain patches. I said this can’t be the way I have to live I don’t even like to take Tylenol. The next day I was talking with a coworker and complaining as we were moving around and work. She told me that I should try Dr. Candice before I gave in that I would always have a back problem and need to live on these medications at least for a little while. I started with Dr. Candice and it was not easy at first. Sometimes I would feel sore the day after visits but after a few weeks I noticed that I could move more and that the pain in my leg was going down. I started to see that I would be more flexible in sessions and without pain. A few months went by and I noticed that the incredibly painful weeks and moments where I could not even put down my leg where gone. The best part was it was not because of medicine at all. I let her use the rock tape and kept an open mind. Even that was so helpful reminding my body to use muscles that I needed to strengthen. When Dr. Candice told me that it was not disc at all that she believed it was all a muscle I thought (no way!) I figured give it a shot and she was spot on. It has been ten months and I am good!

Sarah T

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Pollack. She is knowledgeable, caring, and listens!! She really individualized my needs to help my injury.  

Brian T

I have been a patient of Dr. Pollack for a number of months and wanted to share my story with future clients of hers. I went to APM, desperate to get resolution to intense back and abdominal pain. After having received numerous epidural injections (none of which truly helped), I decided to give one last attempt to fix this before pursuing a path of surgery. The intensity of pain was unbearable at times, occasionally spreading to the sciatic nerve as well – I had clearly crossed the threshold of being willing to go under the knife if it meant having the pain go away. After some diagnostic tests, Dr. Pollack was able to determine that most of the issues were muscular. I underwent a series of therapeutic sessions with her, initially multiple times per week but tapering down as the pain level decreased. Through this period, I became virtually pain-free and am convinced that Candice’s holistic approach to pain management was the right avenue to take. Having regained strength and flexibility and armed with the knowledge that there were no major structural issues with my back, I pursued a fitness plan that included kickboxing 2-3 times per week. I am now much stronger than I was last year and have the pain under control. I experience flare-ups from time-to-time but having a better understanding of the source, it’s something I can maintain. Dr. Pollack was able to give me a number of stretches that allow me to help myself when I feel the muscles tightening up.

Stephanie B

I heard about Dr Candice from my Primary Care Physician because of 2 pinched nerves in my neck. I was in agony, and feeling hopeless. As soon as I entered the office and met Dr Candice I knew I was in good hands. She took the time to explain my injury and why it happened and what steps were needed to make me 100%. Dr Candice was knowledgeable, extremely compassionate and truly dedicated in my care. I felt as though I was her only patient. She gave me instructions to do at home and throughout the day to help ease my pain, and then introduced me to the best instrument in the world….the laser! I was hesitant at first, but after my first session using it, I was in shock with the difference that I felt. It is amazing! Dr. Candice would not give up until she knew I was right back to where I was before being injured. That is why I can, and will continue to recommend her to anyone. I am happy to report that I am pain free to this day and it is all thanks to her!

Patricia L

I would like to speak to my positive experience with APM. I had reached a plateau with my occupational therapy, and after only a few laser therapy treatments I made significant progress, and I believe it was the laser therapy that made the difference. Dr. Candice is so warm and engaging-she makes you feel comfortable and welcomed right from the start. I would definitely recommend laser therapy.

Chris P

Holy mobility was my first thought after just a few visits. My only wish is that I had started seeing Dr. Candice sooner. I am new to seeing a chiropractor and I was unfamiliar with all the benefits that go along with being treated by a chiropractor. Short term thoughts produces short term results; and this couldn’t be truer in regards to my connotation of seeing a chiropractor prior to coming to APM. Fast forward 6 months and my mobility has gotten exponentially better. There are always new pieces to work on, but I can say with 100% certainty that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made to start going to Dr. Candice. Aside from her effectiveness, she will inform you as to what she is doing, how it will benefit you, and auxiliary things that you can do in between visits to continue to progress in whatever you are working on. Dr. Candice tailors each appointment to whatever you happen to be working on and the results are measurably there. Lastly, I wanted to highlight the fact that if you do CrossFit, this will be your new sanctuary. It is amazing to see how effective each appointment can be and how you can actually feel the benefits when you are working out.

Kathryn F

I was looking for an alternative to carpal tunnel release surgery and found APM and Dr. Candice Pollack. My condition had been diagnosed 4 years earlier by symptoms (severe numbness, tingling, dropping things, unable to use a pen/pencil) nerve conduction studies and physical examination and tests for classic carpal tunnel syndrome. I am thrilled to say after several laser treatments I am 95 – 100% better! Dr. Candice is knowledgeable, compassionate, patient and treatments reasonably priced with no dangerous side effects!

Michelle D

I am person who suffered a full year of crippling pain. Many specialists many tests later without answers. I was coming to the realization I needed to quit my job. I decided to try one more thing, not however by a suggestion from any of the many Drs. I had seen. I found my magician and hero Dr. Candice Pollack and I don’t say this lightly. 5 weeks twice a month visits I am healed. HEALED. Hard to believe I had to suffer a whole year without MEDICAL guidance to find my problem. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. Even if you had been to a Chiropractor and feel you didn’t get any relief, honestly, give her a try, you won’t regret it.

Heidee P

I have been going to this place for 1 year and a half. Dr. Candice is wonderful and the laser therapy has helped me a lot.

Norma B

Dr. Candice is awesome she knows her stuff. She takes her time while she speaks with you.

Tania L

I go to Dr. Candice. She has helped my back, neck, shoulders, carpal tunnel, and plantar fasciitis. I don’t think there isn’t anything she can’t fix.

Emily J

This was my first experience going to a Chiropractor. I was honestly very nervous. I can’t believe I waited so long! After 2 9+ pound babies, I was all out of whack. After my first appointment I instantly felt better. I’ve told everyone to go and highly recommend it! Dr. Candice is the best!
