What We Treat
From acute pain relief to long-term wellness, our practice addresses a wide spectrum of conditions using evidence-informed chiropractic techniques.
Lower back pain is the most common reason patients seek chiropractic care. We diagnose the source — whether disc-related, muscular, or joint-based — and apply targeted adjustments to restore proper alignment and function.
Chronic neck pain, stiffness, and tension headaches often stem from cervical misalignments. Our gentle cervical adjustments can relieve pressure on nerves and restore comfortable range of motion.
Athletes of all levels — from weekend warriors to competitive competitors — benefit from chiropractic care. We help speed recovery from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries while preventing future problems.
Sciatica causes radiating pain, numbness, and weakness down the leg. We identify the underlying compression — often from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis — and use targeted techniques to relieve the pressure.
Tension headaches and migraines often have a cervical spine component. By correcting upper cervical misalignments and reducing muscle tension, we help decrease the frequency and intensity of headache episodes.
Chiropractic care isn't only for pain — it's a proactive approach to health. Regular adjustments support nervous system function, improve posture, and help you feel your best so you can live an active, vibrant life.
Our Approach
At the practice of Michael J. Cunha, DC, every treatment plan begins with a thorough consultation and examination. We take the time to understand your medical history, your lifestyle, and your goals — because effective care is personal care.
Dr. Cunha employs a range of chiropractic techniques, including spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises, selecting the most appropriate methods for each individual. His calm, methodical approach puts patients at ease and builds lasting trust.
Patient Stories
I've been coming to Dr. Cunha for several years now for back issues. His attention to detail is remarkable — he always takes the time to explain what's happening and what we're doing about it. I finally feel like someone truly listens.
After a car accident, I was skeptical about chiropractic care. Dr. Cunha was patient, thorough, and genuinely concerned about my recovery. His adjustments helped me avoid surgery. I can't recommend him enough.
As a runner, knee and hip pain had become my normal. Dr. Cunha identified the root cause in my lower back and hip alignment. After just a few sessions, I was running pain-free again. He changed my life.
