At Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Portsmouth, Virginia, we provide gentle, effective care to help patients find lasting relief from pain and improve their overall well-being. Using advanced techniques like the Cox® Flexion-Distraction Method, soft-tissue therapy, Shockwave and acupuncture, we treat a wide range of spinal, muscular, and joint conditions. Whether your discomfort stems from posture, injury, or everyday stress, our goal is to restore balance, improve mobility, and support long-term healing.
Neck Pain
Neck discomfort often develops from tension, whiplash, or poor ergonomics. Gentle chiropractic care helps restore motion to restricted joints, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain.
Tension Headaches
These headaches are commonly caused by tight muscles and joint dysfunction in the neck and upper back. Chiropractic treatment relieves muscle tension and improves joint motion, helping reduce frequency and intensity.
Migraine Headaches
Migraines can be debilitating and are often linked to nerve irritation or muscle stress. We take a holistic approach to identify triggers, support the nervous system, and reduce migraine severity and frequency.
Arm Pain
Nerve irritation in the neck or shoulder can cause pain, tingling, or weakness in the arm. Specific chiropractic adjustments and soft-tissue therapy help reduce nerve pressure and restore natural function.
Low Back Pain
Low back pain can result from posture issues, lifting injuries, or disc problems. Our treatments focus on correcting joint dysfunction, relieving nerve pressure, and reducing inflammation for lasting relief.
Mid-Back Pain
Pain between the shoulder blades or along the spine often stems from muscle strain or restricted joint movement. Chiropractic adjustments and posture correction improve flexibility and reduce discomfort.
Disc Herniations
A herniated disc occurs when disc material presses on a spinal nerve, often causing sharp or radiating pain. The Cox® Flexion-Distraction Technique gently decompresses the spine to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Disc Bulges
A disc bulge, though less severe than a herniation, can still irritate nearby nerves. Gentle decompression and targeted care relieve pressure and restore spinal mobility.
Rib Pain
Rib or chest wall pain often develops from restricted rib joint motion or muscle strain. Chiropractic adjustments can restore rib mobility, making breathing and movement more comfortable.
Leg Pain / Sciatica
Pain radiating down the leg—commonly called sciatica—can result from nerve compression in the lower back. Chiropractic adjustments and Cox® Distraction Therapy help reduce pressure on the affected nerves and restore mobility.
Tennis Elbow
This overuse injury causes pain along the outer part of the elbow. Chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy, and acupuncture work together to reduce inflammation, improve motion, and promote healing.
Golfer’s Elbow
A similar condition affecting the inner elbow, golfer’s elbow results from repetitive strain. Treatment focuses on restoring normal joint movement, reducing inflammation, and supporting tendon repair.
Acupuncture is a proven component of Eastern medicine that works by balancing the flow of energy, or Qi, through pathways in the body known as meridians.
Chiropractic physicians are experts in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions that arise from the spine, joints, discs, and muscles.
Massage therapy involves the therapeutic treatment of soft tissues through targeted manual techniques that apply pressure and manipulation to muscles, tendons, and connective tissue.
Scrambler Therapy is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared technology designed for the treatment of chronic and neuropathic pain.
Extracorporeal or Focal Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that accelerates healing and tissue regeneration in bones, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.

The staff was very helpful with checking my insurance benefits and answering my questions. Amy – Chesapeake
I was nervous about getting my first session because I thought it would be painful. To my surprise, it didn’t hurt at all. I thought Dr. Miller was putting a piece of scotch tape on my skin to mark the spots but she was actually inserting the needles. The acupuncture sessions really helped my pain […]
