Let’s get your quality of life back with safe and comprehensive chiropractic solutions.
Symptoms and conditions we treat
Back pain and low back pain
Many of our patients come to us suffering from back pain, and it’s no surprise. The back bears a lot of stress and strain with constant pressure on the spine and its surrounding tissues and nerves.
Without the proper function of the spine, we can’t bend, turn, or twist, making everyday activities and movements challenging or impossible.
Chiropractic therapies are proven treatments that center around finding balance and restoring movement, making your back pain-free and ready to support you.
Neck pain
Your comfort can pay a high price when your neck is injured. Everyday activities such as exercise, work, and hobbies can be impacted. An ache in the neck can lead to chronic pain, loss of motion, and decreased function.
Getting adjusted and learning proper posture and neck-strengthening exercises are smart and safe ways to keep your neck healthy.
Knee pain
The knee joints carry a lot of weight, and even the slightest movement can become difficult when they are injured. Knee pain impacts walking, jumping, running, sitting, standing, kneeling, and more. Impairment isn’t sustainable, and chiropractic treatments can help.
We often find that muscular imbalances around the knee cause knee pain; this is easily treatable with our natural, non-invasive techniques.
Shoulder pain
The shoulder joint offers incredible motion and flexibility, making it susceptible to injury. When you are in pain, your movement suffers, and everything from driving your car to sneezing can be painful.
Don’t let your shoulder pain linger and become chronic; chiropractic care has several solutions that will alleviate your shoulder pain and make movement comfortable again.
Headaches
Headaches can cause varying types of pain and are of varying levels of severity. From dull to sharp, nagging to debilitating, headaches can be miserable. If you suffer from frequent headaches, you know the stress that comes with them- minor ones can lead to massive ones.
From posture correction to adjustments to exercises, our State College chiropractor is ready to help you find the relief you need.
Tennis elbow
The elbow provides a space where muscles, tendons, and nerves pass between the upper arm and forearm. When this area becomes irritated and inflamed, it makes wrist movements painful.
This pain is felt on the elbow's outside, or lateral side, and is known as tennis elbow. You don’t have to be a tennis player to suffer from this condition. Many repetitive wear and tear movements of the arm and wrist can cause tennis elbow.
A chiropractor can help you find relief as your muscles are strengthened, and the inflammation is reduced. Chiropractic care can also help prevent reinjury of tennis elbow.
Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is the largest in the body, extending from the lower back and splitting to run through your hips, buttocks, legs, and feet. When the sciatic nerve is injured, pain can radiate throughout the lower body, making activity and rest unbearable.
With chiropractic treatments, sciatica can be cured quickly and effectively.
Whiplash
Whiplash occurs when the neck is jolted abruptly and forcefully, first backward and then forward. It often happens during a rear-end car accident; however, it can be the result of a sports injury, a hard blow to the head, or a serious fall.
Whiplash is usually felt as a dull pain that sharpens upon neck movement. Neck pain from whiplash can also be accompanied by headaches, dizziness, nausea, radiating arm pain, and/or tingling and numbness in the arms and hands.
With some chiropractic advice, education, and care, your whiplash pain can diminish quickly, and you can return to doing what you love.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
The carpal tunnel is an area in the wrist and hand that envelops the median nerve and several tendons. With consistent use, the nerve and tendons can become irritated and inflamed, causing pain, tingling, or numbness. This pain is known as carpal tunnel syndrome, which makes specific hand and finger movements painful and difficult.
Through strengthening, stretching, and chiropractic care, the hand can regain its normal function without the need for surgery.
Foot and ankle pain
The foot and ankle are intricate structures that provide an impressive range of motion and hold significant weight and pressure. With use, nerves, and tissues can become inflamed and damaged, making standing, walking, and other movements painful.
Chiropractic treatments can help strengthen the foot and ankle, increase circulation and stability, and improve healing.
Sports injuries
Athletes, avid exercisers, and weekend warriors alike put their bodies through a significant amount of stress and strain.
We encourage these actions to improve one's well-being and longevity; however, it’s incredibly important that you take proper care of your active body.
From overuse injuries to event preparation and rehabilitation to preventative care, we have the insight and solutions to help you find your peak performance levels and stay injury-free to meet your goals.
Other conditions treated include:
- Nerve impingement
- Disc bulging and disc herniation
- Plantar fasciitis
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
- TMJ
- Rotator cuff injury
- Sprains and strains- any area of the body
- Auto injuries
- Poor posture and ergonomics

Chiropractic services in State College
Our chiropractic solutions and techniques safely support your body, allowing it to heal naturally. Without full function, your daily routine, family life, work, social connections, and physical activities are jeopardized.
Our goal is to design a plan that offers a pain remedy and a healthier way to live your life.
Common chiropractic services we provide
- Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobility (IASTM): Using handheld tools, we break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that cause discomfort. This alleviates pain and restores flexibility and range of motion.
- Chiropractic adjustments: a manual therapy that provides a quick, targeted thrust to an affected area. This technique manages pain, increases range of motion, flexibility, and movement, and reduces soft tissue inflammation.
- Laser therapy: Using a handheld laser, we can promote circulation and an efficient healing process as we restore the soft tissues and reduce inflammation.
- Massage therapy: Our certified massage therapist will help your sore muscles, encourage restoration and relaxation, improve performance, quicken recovery, and manage stress.

“Dr. Craig Brummert is awesome - he is the only chiropractor that I've ever trusted. It ended up that I did not need a full course of treatment but a one-shot-deal consultation, and he told me so - I can't imagine any other chiropractor that would have handled my case in that way. I originally chose him because he volunteers his time at the Centre Volunteers in Medicine, and I figured he shared my values of honesty and respect for all, regardless of their circumstances - and I was absolutely right about that. You're in good hands, literally, if you choose Doctor Craig Brummert.”
- Joan B. // The Village at Penn State, State College
“I suffered from chronic headaches (3-4 times/week) for more than 20 years. After meeting Dr. Brummert and learning about the benefits of chiropractic care, I scheduled an appointment. I immediately experienced relief after my first visit, and after 4 weeks of treatments now have gone nearly 2 weeks without a headache. I never in my wildest dreams thought of pursuing chiropractic care to help with my headaches, but Dr. Brummert took the time to educate me and encouraged me to come in for a consultation. One of the best decisions I've made in a long time. If you have headaches or back pain, I highly recommend Dr. Craig Brummert. Go see him. You'll be glad you did. Thank you, Dr. Brummert!
