Common reasons Veterans come in
Many Veterans live with pain from years of physical work, training or old injuries. We treat:
Chronic low back pain
Long-standing back pain, including pain that travels down the leg.
Neck and shoulder pain
Stiffness and pain in the neck and shoulders, including from old injuries.
Joint pain
Knee, hip and shoulder pain from years of wear and physical work.
Headaches
Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches that start in the neck.
Gentle, unhurried care
Dr. Sahrai often uses the Activator Method, a low-force technique with no twisting or cracking, and uses manual adjustments only when appropriate. Your plan may also include rehab exercises, electrical muscle stimulation, cold laser, kinesiology taping and massage therapy.
He asks new patients for three visits to see if he can help. If there’s little or no improvement, he recommends imaging or refers you to a pain management or orthopedic doctor.

“Dr. Sahrai is very gentle and patient. His adjustments are not aggressive like traditional chiropractic. He’s very precise and you can feel the difference right away.”
“I was so nervous because it was my first time having to see a chiropractor. Dr Sahrai was very patient, helped me calm down and made sure I was ok with his treatment through out the entire process.”
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Sahrai for the past 20 years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. From my first appointment, Dr. Sahrai took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explain the treatment plan in detail.”
