  • Always amazing.

    “For those who have never been to Dr. John, they don't always have an appreciation for how incredible & thorough he is. For over 10 years I was misdiagnosed with sciatica and could barely sit for more than 15 minutes without pain or a burning sensation. I got tired of going to chiros 3x week for an adjustment and put on a stim machine with no relief, so I resolved myself to pain as what I needed to work with and around....until I met Dr. John. One session with him, and I felt relief.” — Kimberly S

  • Outstanding care!

    “Dr. Flaherty truly listens to my health concerns. He has fixed areas I didn’t even realize needed to be adjusted. I feel 100% better under his care. I trust his chiropractic judgment wholeheartedly. The office staff members are so obliging, friendly and efficient. I would recommend this practice to family and friends without hesitation!” – Katy F.

  • Certainly has helped me.

    “Several years ago I was referred to Dr. Flaherty by a pain management doctor (who also goes to him). In a matter of months, the horrible lower back pain I'd lived with for more than two years due to bulging discs was almost nonexistent. He listens, he explains, and he offers suggestions to maintain good skeletal health. Thanks Dr. Flaherty for always be available to help!” — S.S.

    Dr. Kristina Taylor — chiropractor

    My journey into chiropractic began in high school as I observed its transformative impact on the well-being of my family and friends. I decided to explore it firsthand and quickly realized that this was what I wanted to do.

    I pursued my undergraduate studies at The University of Alabama, earning a degree in pre-professional kinesiology in 2019 (Roll Tide!). Subsequently, I obtained my Doctorate in Chiropractic from the University of Bridgeport’s School of Chiropractic in December 2023, receiving both the Student Clinic Award and the Director's Award.

    As I take on this next chapter of my professional career alongside Dr. Flaherty, I am thrilled to share my passion for evidence-based, patient-centered care. I look forward to contributing to the field of chiropractic with a commitment to excellence and a passion for well-being.

    Dr. Flaherty — chiropractor

    I decided to become a Chiropractor when I was 16. I injured myself playing sports and struggled to find relief until I found a great Chiropractor. He told him exactly what was wrong, what we need to do, and how I could address my issue. That was the day I decided that I wanted to be a Chiro too..

    I attended the University of Connecticut in 1987 and earned a B.A. in English and minored in pre-med. I later enrolled in the Southern Connecticut State University's Master's Program for Creative Writing, and in 1997 I graduated from the Life University in Marietta, GA. with a Doctorate Degree in Chiropractic sciences.

    I’ve enjoyed every day since and am so happy to share what I’ve learned and what has been a great benefit to my lifestyle.

Our Services

  • There are many different forms of care under the umbrella of 'Chiropractic'. In this office we utilize a combination of hands-on manipulation, myofascial work, stretching, exercise instruction, nutrition, traction and dry needling. The treatment depends upon the patient's needs and wishes. I work with infants, athletes, and seniors. It is my firm belief that for every complaint, there is a reason. My role is to help you figure out what that reason is. If there is dysfunction present, I will give you options to correct it. We will talk about other options/provider strategies that may be of value. If I can help you, I will try my best. If I think you would be better served to incorporate other forms of treatment, I will help make those available to you.

  • We have some very talented and well-trained massage therapists in this office. They are very much accustomed to working with patients with a variety of injuries and needs. We are always in contact and willing to communicate between ourselves to make sure you get the very best care. If their schedules are too busy we can recommend other area professionals that we work with who will also take good care of you.

  • Dry needling originated from the trigger point injection community. A study was done to determine which medication was most effective with TP injection. A control group was also used whereby patients were needled but not medicated. The non-medicated group also had profoundly positive results. As such dry (without medication) needling began.

    Dry Needling is not acupuncture. The criteria of where and why needles are placed are different. An acupuncturist can utilize Dry Needling techniques, but not the other way around. There are two main forms of DN. The first is the trigger point model which is designed to release trigger points, relax muscle contraction and mitigate pain. The second is ligamentous/tendon needling. This is the more uncomfortable (yet effective) method of creating micro-trauma in the soft tissue to stimulate a vascular change and healing response within the needled tissues.

  • Spinal traction is a traditional and time-tested modality. It is used in Chiropractic offices, Physical Therapy offices, and other Physician offices. It can be helpful for bulged/herniated discs, facet implication, degenerative spines, arthritic hips, etc. Traction can be done supine, prone, with one leg, both legs. It can be static (still) or dynamic (where the traction table elongates and contracts). Our office utilizes multiple forms of traction described above.
