Our Mission
We’re here to help patients get out of pain and stay that way, using conservative treatments that address the root cause of the problem rather than managing symptoms indefinitely. Every decision we make in the clinic is aimed at measurable improvements in pain, mobility, and how well you function in your daily life. We believe sustainable spinal health means treating the whole person, which is why patient education and lifestyle guidance are built into how we care for every patient, not offered as an afterthought. The goal is to give you the knowledge and the physical foundation to stay well long after your care plan ends.
Services We Offer
Apart from spinal manipulation, where our chiropractors gently massage your spine with their hands or a tool, we use other treatments, including:
Understanding Chiropractic Treatment
Our patients often feel anxious about their first trip to Draper Spinal Care, especially if they have heard certain fallacies regarding chiropractic treatment. Below, we address questions we often hear from new patients.
What does a chiropractors do?
Chiropractors focus on treating neuro-muscular disorders and how they affect physical and mental well-being. Spinal decompression, laser therapy, acupuncture, and spinal manipulation may assist the body in healing itself.
Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic treatment doesn’t conflict with modern medicine. Instead, chiropractors learn methods that enhance the treatment strategies advised by primary care doctors and other healthcare professionals. However, chiropractic treatments provide non-surgical, non-invasive, and drug-free treatment options.
Are chiropractic treatments effective?
Chiropractic care is useful for a variety of conditions, including neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, and headaches, according to our patients. Chiropractic treatment helps patients feel better without needing prescription drugs or dangerous surgery with the help of our chiropractors.
What is sciatica?
Sciatica frequently develops in people between the ages of 30 and 50. It refers to the discomfort that spreads throughout the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve extends to the feet.
Chiropractors can carry out diagnostic tests to identify the cause of nerve discomfort and then proceed further. This can entail doing spinal decompression therapy or performing a spinal adjustment to return the spine to its proper position.
If you need a chiropractor for sciatica, schedule an appointment with us.
Can chiropractors treat migraines?
It’s worthwhile to look into the benefits of chiropractic treatment and migraines. Chiropractic treatment may alleviate pressure that blocks nerve signaling and blood flow. That is where chiropractors can be helpful. Chiropractors can perform spinal adjustments to affect how nerves transmit signals to the brain. Spinal manipulation may affect the blood flow via the central nervous system to prevent and treat migraines.
If you are looking for a chiropractor in Draper who can treat your migraine, come to Draper Spinal Care for assistance.
Can we fix neck and shoulder pain?
Chiropractic care can be very useful for serious neck and shoulder pain relief. At Draper Spinal Care, we use a holistic approach to find the root cause of the pain and the best approach to treating it. If you are looking for a chiropractor for shoulder pain or a chiropractor for neck pain, we’ve got you covered.

NUCCA Chiropractic Care
NUCCA chiropractic care targets the atlas and axis vertebrae at the very top of your spine, where even subtle misalignment creates interference patterns that travel through your entire nervous system and musculoskeletal structure. Rather than applying manual spinal adjustments broadly, this technique uses precise measurements and gentle, sustained contact to guide your vertebrae back into proper position without any twisting, thrusting, or audible release. Patients come in for neck pain, chronic headache relief, or sciatica therapy and frequently find that other issues they’d stopped connecting to their spine also begin to improve once the root cause of their upper cervical misalignment is addressed.
Your first NUCCA appointment at Draper Spinal Care starts with detailed imaging that maps your specific misalignment before any hands-on work begins. The spinal adjustment itself involves light, sustained contact while you lie comfortably on one of our specialized massage and adjusting tables. Most patients are surprised by how still and quiet the process feels compared to what they expected from chiropractic care. Post-correction measurements confirm the accuracy of each adjustment, and most patients find their corrections holding for increasingly longer intervals over time as the surrounding tissues adapt to the improved position.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy using the DRX9000® system gives patients with herniated discs, bulging discs, and chronic lower back pain a real non-surgical treatment option when other conservative approaches haven’t been enough. This FDA-cleared technology creates controlled negative pressure inside targeted disc spaces, getting to the root cause by encouraging compressed disc material to retract and reducing pressure on pinched nerve roots. The result is meaningful pain reduction and improved spinal health for conditions that might otherwise be heading toward surgery.
Your DRX9000® sessions involve lying comfortably on the treatment table while the computer-controlled system applies gentle, intermittent traction forces to your spine through a pelvic harness. The treatment feels like a mild, rhythmic stretch, and many patients find it relaxing enough to fall asleep. Each session runs about 30 minutes, with the system cycling through periods of traction and muscle relaxation throughout. Draper Spinal Care monitors your response and adjusts force settings as needed, with most patients noticing pain relief within the first few weeks of their treatment series.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers pure oxygen to your tissues at increased atmospheric pressure, giving your body’s natural repair processes a meaningful boost. For patients dealing with chronic pain, auto injuries, slow-healing tissue damage, or inflammatory conditions, this treatment addresses a fundamental bottleneck in recovery: getting enough oxygen to the tissue that actually needs it. The result is accelerated tissue repair and reduced inflammation that supports every other treatment option in your care plan.
Your HBOT session takes place in a clear, comfortable chamber where you simply breathe normally while the pressure gradually increases. The sensation is similar to descending in an airplane, with mild ear pressure that equalizes quickly. Most patients read, listen to music, or rest during their 60-90 minute session. Draper Spinal Care coordinates hyperbaric therapy with your other treatments to create a stronger overall healing environment for spinal health, and many patients notice improvements in energy and pain levels relatively early in their treatment series.
Corrective Care and Rehabilitation
Getting a spinal adjustment is step one. Building the stability to keep it is what makes the difference long term. Corrective care and rehabilitation at our West Valley City area clinic focuses on rebuilding the muscular support and movement patterns your spine needs to hold its alignment under the demands of daily life. We combine NUCCA adjustments, soft tissue therapy, laser therapy, corrective exercises, and movement guidance into a structured, phased approach that moves you from initial pain management through to long-term resilience.
Your corrective care plan is mapped out clearly from the start so you know what to expect at each stage. Corrective exercises, movement strategies, and postural habits are introduced progressively as your stability improves, reinforcing the patterns that support your spinal health between chiropractic visits. Rather than keeping you in ongoing care without a clear direction, we aim to build a foundation that holds up on its own, combined with lifestyle guidance that reduces your risk of future problems so that treatment becomes less and less necessary over time.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapy targets the muscles, tendons, and fascia that support your spine and can become tight, restricted, or damaged from auto injuries, chronic stress, or long-standing compensation patterns. These restrictions keep pain cycles running even after spinal alignment and spinal health have been restored, which is why addressing the muscular root cause of your condition is such an important part of lasting recovery. Our hands-on techniques work directly on the tissue to release what’s actually holding your pain in place and support muscle relaxation that adjustments alone can’t fully achieve.
During your soft tissue therapy session at Draper Spinal Care, you’ll experience targeted pressure and movement techniques applied to specific muscle groups and trigger points on our specialized massage and adjusting tables. The treatment ranges from comfortable sustained pressure to more focused work on stubborn restricted areas, and we communicate throughout to keep things therapeutic rather than unnecessarily uncomfortable. Most patients notice meaningful improvements in flexibility, muscle relaxation, and pain levels after their first few sessions, with continued progress as the underlying movement patterns normalize over time.
Nutritional Testing and Guidance
Nutritional testing identifies the dietary factors and nutrient deficiencies that may be driving inflammation, slowing your healing, or contributing to ongoing pain in ways that structural treatment alone can’t fully resolve. For patients dealing with chronic pain, chronic headache relief needs, or slow recovery from auto injuries, this is often the missing piece that nobody has looked for because standard testing doesn’t go deep enough to find it. Identifying and correcting these imbalances gives your body the foundation it needs to actually heal and maintain long-term spinal health.
Your nutritional assessment at Draper Spinal Care involves detailed testing that may include food sensitivity panels, specialized metabolic testing, or targeted blood work depending on your symptoms and health history. We review your results and translate them into practical dietary recommendations and lifestyle guidance that fit your life rather than handing you a generic protocol. You’ll receive clear guidance on what to eat more of, what to reduce or avoid, and whether targeted supplementation makes sense for your specific situation. Follow-up testing tracks your progress so we can refine your plan as your nutritional status improves.

FAQs About Draper Spinal Care
What makes NUCCA different from regular chiropractic adjustments?
NUCCA requires extensive post-graduate certification and focuses specifically on upper cervical alignment using precise measurements rather than manual spinal adjustments or general manipulation. The technique uses gentle, sustained contact that feels nothing like traditional spinal adjustments, making it a strong treatment option for patients who haven’t tolerated conventional care. Many patients with chronic headache relief needs or conditions that haven’t responded to general chiropractic find meaningful improvement through this approach.
How comfortable is spinal decompression treatment?
Most patients find DRX9000® sessions genuinely relaxing, with the computer system monitoring comfort throughout and adjusting decompression forces automatically using specialized massage and adjusting tables. Each session runs about 30 minutes, and it’s common for patients to fall asleep during treatment. You maintain complete control and can stop at any time.
Can you help with auto accident injuries?
We have extensive experience treating auto injuries and work regularly with personal injury attorneys and insurance companies. Same-day appointments are frequently available for acute auto injuries, and we provide detailed documentation and reports for legal proceedings. Our integrated approach works particularly well for whiplash, disc injuries, and complex trauma cases involving multiple areas of dysfunction.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring any recent imaging studies, previous treatment records, and a list of current medications or supplements. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement for your physical examination. We handle most paperwork during your visit, but online intake forms are available beforehand if you’d like to save time.
Do you work with other healthcare providers?
Yes, and we consider it part of good patient care. We maintain working relationships with medical doctors and specialists throughout Salt Lake City, UT and the broader Utah region, communicating directly with your other providers when that coordination benefits your recovery. This approach tends to produce better outcomes for patients managing complex conditions that involve more than one area of care.
