After spending many years as a patient of Smith chiropractic, I am happy the transition to Rufus. Chiropractic has been very easy as a patient. Maintaining his great staff of April and Samantha has made the adjustment very easy. This place is just wonderful. Happy to know. I can go here for the rest of my life because Dr. Rufus is younger than me.🤣Posted on Lee RosenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a great experiencePosted on niceguyeddie4871Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a routine patient of Dr. Rufus since he bought the practice from the Smith’s who were the long time proprietors of this practice at Holme Circle. The transition has been flawless! The care is top notch! Dr. Rufus is really concerned about how your feeling and making you feel better to the best of his abilities. He’s very skilled in his techniques and abilities. He’s a super nice guy who can hold a conversation on any topic of the day. Office hours are abundant during the week including morning into late afternoon and early evenings on certain days. I’ve never had a problem getting an appointment on desired day and time. There’s never a wait either during appointments. The office staff keeps the appointments moving throughout the day. Speaking of: April and Samantha are great! They always greet you and leave you with a smile! They are the reason behind the good vibes you feel when you visit. From first hand experience, I highly recommend Dr. Rufus and his staff to maintain your wellbeing both physically and spiritually. ~Ed SmithPosted on Dhurata PajaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Went back after eight months and I can’t believe that it was eight months. Last night after my visit my feet and legs felt so much better! Thank you so much Dr. Rufus for helping me feel marginally better.!!!!
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to sciatica pain, so we create a treatment plan based on your body and your goals. By combining gentle, progressive therapies, we calm inflammation, improve movement, and support long-term healing.
Misalignment in the spine can pinch the sciatic nerve and trigger pain that radiates down your leg. With precise spinal adjustments, we restore proper alignment so your body can move freely and heal naturally.
Tight muscles in the lower back, hips, and glutes can add pressure to the sciatic nerve. Therapeutic massage releases muscle tension and improves circulation to relieve pain and stiffness.
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to reach deep into the tissues around your sciatic nerve. This breaks up inflammation, improves blood flow, and speeds up your recovery between visits.
We empower you with lifestyle advice and exercises that support long-term relief. You’ll learn simple stretches, ergonomic tips, and daily movement strategies to prevent future flare-ups and protect your spine.
Unlike quick-fix pain medications, we treat sciatica at the source to restore function, protect spinal health, and help you move with ease.
Here’s why patients like you come to us for long-term relief.
In addition to chiropractic care, we use the following treatments to relieve pain and keep you moving comfortably:

If you’re experiencing sharp pain down your leg, tingling, numbness, or lower back pain that won’t go away, chiropractic care may help. Anyone struggling with nerve pain from a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or muscle tension can benefit from treatment.
Sciatica often occurs when a bulging disc or vertebra irritates the sciatic nerve. It can also be triggered by muscle tightness, sitting too long, repetitive strain, or injury from lifting, sports, or car accidents.
Some patients feel relief after their first few visits, while others improve steadily over several weeks. Your timeline depends on how long you’ve been in pain and the way your body responds to care.
Yes! Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care, and we’re happy to verify your benefits before your first visit. We also offer flexible payment options for patients without insurance.
Pricing varies based on your treatment plan and insurance coverage. We’ll discuss costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.
Don’t let sciatic nerve pain slow you down. With targeted care and a plan built around your body, Dr. Rufus will help you sit, walk, and move comfortably without chronic discomfort.
