How we work
Three steps between walking in and walking out lighter.
Examination and X-Rays
A hands-on exam and x-rays show where the problem sits. The place that hurts and the place that caused it are often two different parts of your spine.

Manual adjustment suits most patients. Computerized adjustment delivers the same correction as a light, measured tap for anyone who tenses up at the thought of the first one.
Read More →Work That Makes It Hold
Corrective exercises, physiotherapy and nutritional advice between visits, so the joint stays where it was put instead of sliding back by the weekend.

Welcome to Preferred Chiropractic Center
Back problems, neck problems, carpal tunnel, headaches, whiplash, degenerative and herniated discs. Different complaints, and the same question at the start of every one of them.
Two doctors, one plan for your spine.
Dr. Matt Vinson took his degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science at CSU Fresno, then graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in December 2004. He is certified as a Performance Enhancement Specialist and a Corrective Exercise Specialist, which is why a plan here tends to come with something to do at home.
Dr. Sergio Balli graduated Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic and holds a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from CSU Fresno. He is the football team chiropractor at Sanger High School, so he spends his season watching what load does to a spine.

Hurt in a car accident, or on the field?
Whiplash rarely announces itself at the scene. The neck stiffens a day or two later, and the disc behind it can take longer than that to speak up. We treat auto injuries and sports injuries, along with the herniated and degenerative discs that follow both.

From the first x-ray to the exercises you take home with you.
Chiropractic Care
The adjustment itself. A joint put back where it belongs stops crowding the nerve running past it.
Learn More →Spinal Decompression
For herniated and degenerative discs, where the point is to take pressure off the disc rather than work around it.
Learn More →Computerized Adjustments
An instrument delivers the correction at a set force and angle, with none of the twisting some patients dread.
Learn More →Auto Injuries
Whiplash and the neck and back pain that follows a collision, including the kind that only turns up days later.
Learn More →Sports Injuries
Field and gym injuries, and the rehabilitation that gets you back to the sport rather than merely out of pain.
Learn More →Corrective Exercises
Specific movements for between visits. Ten minutes at home is what stops the same joint going out again.

What We Treat
Back problems and neck problems, carpal tunnel, headaches, whiplash, degenerative discs and herniated discs. If your complaint is not on that list, ask anyway. Plenty of what we see began somewhere other than where it hurts.
