Pain, Injury, And Disc Conditions We Treat
Back Pain and Lower Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. We identify the structural cause and build a care plan around it.
Sciatica
Radiating pain down the leg, often caused by nerve compression in the lower spine. Chiropractic care can take pressure off the nerve and restore normal function.
Neck Pain
Stiffness, tension, and limited range of motion in the neck often respond well to targeted chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue care.
Disc Injuries
Bulging, herniated, and degenerative disc conditions affecting the neck and lower back are a clinical focus at Riverview Spine. Spinal decompression is often a key part of the care plan.
Headaches and Migraines
Many headaches are driven by tension and misalignment in the cervical spine. Addressing the source rather than masking the symptom is the goal.
Work Injuries
Repetitive strain, lifting injuries, and posture-related pain from work are all within our scope. We work within most insurance plans and provide documentation if needed.
Sports Injuries
Athletes benefit from care that keeps the spine and joints aligned and moving properly. We treat acute injuries and help with performance maintenance.

Meet The Doctor Behind Your Care
Dr. Rod Opferkew
Dr. Rod Opferkew has over 23 years of chiropractic experience and focuses on identifying the root cause of pain before building a care plan around your needs.
What To Expect At Your First Visit
Getting started is straightforward. Here is how the process works from your first call to your first treatment:
Start with a no-cost consultation
Dr. Rod will sit down with you to discuss your symptoms in detail, including when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they are affecting your daily life. This conversation is the foundation of your care plan.
Complete a physical examination
Dr. Rod will perform a hands-on examination of the affected area, which may include movement testing, postural assessment, and orthopedic or neurological evaluation where appropriate.
Take on-site X-rays when needed
For most new patients, Dr. Rod takes X-rays of the problem area during the first visit. This gives him a clearer structural picture and helps ensure that the care plan is accurate and appropriate for your condition.
Begin treatment when appropriate
After the examination and imaging, Dr. Rod will explain what he found and what he recommends. If care is appropriate to begin that day, your first treatment typically happens during this visit. You will leave with a clear understanding of what the plan looks like and what to expect.
