Our Mission
We’re here to help South Jordan residents stop managing pain and start living without it. That means going beyond symptom relief to find what’s actually creating your dysfunction, explaining it clearly, and building a recovery plan that addresses it directly. Whether you’ve been dealing with disc-related back pain, neurological symptoms from an old injury, or chronic neck pain that nobody has been able to fully explain, we approach every case with the same commitment: find the root cause, correct it with precision, and give your body what it needs to stay that way. We measure success by how well you function outside our clinic, not how often you need to come back.
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.

IS SPECIFIC CORRECTIVE CHIROPRACTIC CARE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU?
Specific Corrective Care Chiropractic is not for everyone. With limited availability, our doctors have very specific requirements in order to be accepted as a patient in our office. What this means to you is you’re going to want to Schedule Your Free Consultation to see if you qualify!
Why Choose Us
South Jordan has plenty of chiropractic options. What it doesn’t have is many clinics that combine this level of specialization, technology, and integrated care under one roof. Here’s what makes the difference.
- NUCCA
- Spinal Decompression Therapy
- Oxygen Therapy
- Corrective Care
- Soft Tissue Therapy
- Nutritional Testing
NUCCA Chiropractic Care
Most people associate chiropractic care with the audible pop of a spinal adjustment, which is exactly why NUCCA tends to surprise patients the first time they experience it. This method focuses entirely on the atlas and axis vertebrae at the very top of the spinal column, using gentle, mathematically precise corrections that feel nothing like traditional adjustments. The upper cervical spine controls how your brain communicates with your body, which is why correcting even a small misalignment in this area can produce improvements that extend well beyond the original complaint.
Treatment starts with detailed X-ray imaging that measures your specific misalignment pattern down to fractions of a degree, giving us a precise blueprint before we touch anything. The correction itself involves light, sustained contact while you lie comfortably on your side, with no twisting, popping, or sudden movements involved. Draper Spinal Care confirms the accuracy of each correction with post-adjustment measurements, and most patients hold their corrections longer than they would with traditional adjustments, which means fewer visits over time rather than an open-ended treatment schedule.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Disc pain has a way of affecting everything, from how you sleep to how you sit at work to whether you can stay on your feet long enough to enjoy a normal day. The DRX9000® spinal decompression system addresses disc-related back and leg pain without surgery, injections, or medication by targeting the mechanical problem inside the disc itself. Computer-guided motorized traction creates negative pressure that draws herniated material back toward center and restores the nutrient flow that damaged disc tissue needs to actually repair.
Sessions take place on a specialized treatment table with a pelvic harness that delivers precise traction to the targeted spinal segments while the rest of your body stays relaxed. Each 30-minute session feels like a gentle, rhythmic stretch, and it’s common for patients to fall asleep during treatment. Draper Spinal Care monitors your response throughout your treatment series and adjusts the protocol based on how your discs are responding, with most patients noticing meaningful improvement within the first several weeks of care.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Your body heals through oxygen, and when circulation is compromised by injury, inflammation, or chronic conditions, the tissue that needs repair most is often the tissue getting the least of it. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy changes that by increasing atmospheric pressure inside a comfortable, pressurized chamber, allowing your blood to carry significantly more oxygen than normal breathing delivers. That oxygen-rich blood reaches tissue that standard circulation misses, triggering new blood vessel growth, reducing inflammation, and accelerating cellular repair that passive rest simply can’t replicate.
Sessions run 60-90 minutes in a clear, comfortable chamber. The pressure increase is gradual, similar to descending in an airplane, and most patients adapt within the first few minutes. You can read, listen to a podcast, or simply rest while your body does the work. Many patients notice meaningful changes in energy, sleep quality, and pain levels within the first several sessions, and hyperbaric therapy coordinates well with NUCCA care and spinal decompression to create a stronger overall healing environment.
Corrective Care and Rehabilitation
Getting out of pain is step one. Staying out of pain is the actual goal. Our corrective care approach is built around the idea that your spine needs to be structurally stable and mechanically sound to hold its corrections and handle the demands of daily life without breaking down again. That means moving you through a structured recovery arc that combines NUCCA adjustments, spinal decompression, soft tissue therapy, laser therapy, and acupuncture in a sequence that matches where you are in your healing process.
Your corrective care plan starts with a clear picture of where you are now and a roadmap for what needs to happen at each stage. We introduce movement guidance and postural strategies progressively as your stability improves, reinforcing the habits that support your spinal column between visits. The goal isn’t just feeling better for a few weeks. It’s building a foundation that holds up on its own so you’re not back in our office six months later with the same problem.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Pain that doesn’t show up on imaging but won’t go away often lives in the muscles, fascia, and connective tissue surrounding your spine. Tension patterns, trigger points, and fascial restrictions develop in response to injury, poor posture, repetitive stress, and compensation habits, and they keep pain going even after the underlying structural problem has been addressed. Soft tissue therapy works directly on these tissues using myofascial release, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and instrument-assisted mobilization to restore healthy movement and clear out the pain sources that adjustments alone can’t reach.
Sessions are built around your specific tissue findings rather than a standard protocol applied to every patient. Some areas respond quickly, while others need more time and targeted work as long-standing restrictions gradually release. Most patients notice meaningful improvements in range of motion and pain levels after their first few sessions, with continued progress as underlying movement patterns normalize. Soft tissue work pairs particularly well with NUCCA corrections, as releasing muscle tension around the upper cervical spine helps those corrections hold longer and more consistently.
Nutritional Testing and Guidance
The structural work we do in the clinic can only go as far as your body’s ability to support and sustain it, and that depends heavily on what’s happening at the nutritional level. Deficiencies in key micronutrients, unidentified food sensitivities, and chronic inflammation driven by dietary patterns can all undermine the healing you’re working toward, often without any obvious connection to your spinal symptoms. Our nutritional testing goes beyond standard blood panels to identify the specific imbalances that may be quietly working against your recovery.
Based on your results, we build a targeted protocol of dietary adjustments and supplementation strategies designed around what your testing actually shows rather than generic wellness advice. Draper Spinal Care keeps the recommendations practical and realistic, focused on changes you can actually sustain alongside the rest of your care. Follow-up testing tracks your progress over time so we can refine your protocol as your nutritional status improves and your body’s ability to heal continues to strengthen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most often from new patients considering care at our South Jordan clinic.
What makes NUCCA different from regular chiropractic adjustments?
NUCCA uses precise X-ray analysis and biomechanical calculations to correct the atlas vertebra with minimal force and no twisting or popping. The technique focuses specifically on how the upper cervical spine influences alignment throughout your entire body. This specialized approach requires extensive post-graduate training and tends to produce longer-lasting results than general spinal adjustments.
How comfortable is spinal decompression therapy?
Most patients find DRX9000® sessions genuinely relaxing, describing the sensation as a gentle, rhythmic stretch. Each session runs approximately 30 minutes, and the computer-controlled system adjusts traction forces in real time to prevent muscle guarding. It’s common for patients to fall asleep during treatment, and there’s no recovery time needed between sessions.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit runs 60-90 minutes and includes a detailed health history, physical evaluation, and a conversation about your symptoms and goals. We explain everything we find before recommending any treatment, so you leave with a clear picture of your condition and what your care plan will involve. Nothing starts until you understand and agree with the recommended approach.
How do you coordinate care with my other healthcare providers?
When it benefits your recovery, we coordinate directly with your primary care physician, orthopedic specialists, or other providers involved in your care. With your authorization, we share progress notes and stay in communication to make sure your treatment plans work together rather than against each other. Patients managing complex conditions often benefit most from this kind of coordinated approach.
What qualifies your team to handle complex spinal conditions?
Our team maintains active NUCCA certification and has spent over a decade treating a wide range of spinal conditions including disc-related pain, neurological symptoms, chronic auto injury cases, and postural dysfunction. We pursue ongoing continuing education to stay current with advances in spinal care and refer out when a case falls outside our scope. That combination of specialized training and clinical experience is what allows us to handle cases that haven’t responded elsewhere.
