Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Care in Aurora, Ohio
Explore Family Chiropractic treats back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica with two adjusting styles: the gentle, instrument-assisted Torque Release Technique and traditional manual adjusting. Dr. Nicholas Toumazos and Dr. Lauren Mayes build every plan around your exam findings, not a one-size-fits-all routine.
Our Adjusting Style
What Is the Torque Release Technique?
Torque Release Technique is a gentle, instrument-assisted method that lets Dr. Toumazos adjust the spine with a precise, specific tool instead of the twisting or forceful cracking many people associate with chiropractic care. Dr. Toumazos holds an Advanced Proficiency Certification in the technique, and it is the default adjusting style at Explore Family Chiropractic for patients of every age, from infants in Dr. Mayes's pediatric practice to longtime patients managing chronic pain.
Traditional manual adjusting is also available for patients who prefer it or whose case calls for it. Either way, care starts with a real conversation about your history and a thorough exam, including in-office digital X-ray or CLA INSiGHT nerve scans when your case calls for them, so nothing is recommended on a hunch.
What a Visit Looks Like
What Does a Chiropractic Visit Look Like Here?
Every chiropractic visit at the Aurora Commons office is built in 3 stages. First comes a real conversation about history and symptoms. Next, a thorough exam, with in-office digital X-ray when the case calls for it. Finally, Dr. Toumazos or Dr. Mayes explains the findings and why a specific adjustment or technique fits the case before any hands-on care begins.
Conditions We Treat
Common Conditions We Treat With Chiropractic Care in Aurora.
Three conditions come up often enough at our Aurora office that we have built dedicated pages for each one. Every plan is still personalized to your exam, but here is where to start.
Living with numbness, tingling, or burning instead of sharp pain? Visit our Neuropathy Treatment page for our four-step protocol.
Whole-Family Care
One Practice, Every Stage of Life.
Chiropractic care at Explore Family Chiropractic is not limited to one type of patient. Dr. Mayes completed Life University's full advanced pediatric coursework track and provides gentle care for expecting mothers and children. Dr. Toumazos built a four-step protocol for peripheral neuropathy that earned Explore Family Chiropractic a feature on News 5 Cleveland's Spotlight5. Whether you are bringing in a newborn, recovering from a whiplash injury, or managing years of chronic back pain, the approach is the same: listen first, examine thoroughly, then build a plan around what we find.

Beyond the Adjustment
How Does Chiropractic Care Fit a Bigger Picture?
Chiropractic adjustments are 1 of 3 core treatment tools at Explore Family Chiropractic, and the other 2 layer in when an exam shows the need. Some patients come in for a single issue, like a stiff neck or a sports injury, and leave after a short course of care. Others build chiropractic visits into ongoing wellness, sometimes alongside StemWave Therapy for stubborn soft tissue pain, or the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression program for herniated or degenerative discs. Whichever path fits, the first step is the same first visit and exam described on the New Patients guide.
Serving Aurora and Surrounding Communities
Chiropractic Care for Northeast Ohio Families.
Patients drive in from Streetsboro, Twinsburg, Hudson, Solon, and Bainbridge for chiropractic care at our Aurora Commons office, and some come from farther out because the results are worth the drive. Free parking sits right outside the door, and Karyn, our care coordinator, explains insurance benefits and costs clearly before treatment starts, so there are no surprises at your first chiropractic visit.
Led by Dr. Nicholas Toumazos
Who Examines Every New Patient?
Dr. Nicholas Toumazos is the owner of Explore Family Chiropractic and still personally examines every new patient rather than handing that first visit to staff. Dr. Toumazos earned a Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Atlanta in 2017, graduating with honors, and holds Advanced Proficiency Certification in the Torque Release Technique. That gentle, instrument-assisted method replaces the traditional twist-and-crack with a precise, low-force impulse. Per WebMD provider data, Dr. Toumazos treats lumbar herniated disc and degenerative disc disease more than most chiropractors. Patients who avoided care after a rough twisting adjustment somewhere else are exactly who this approach was built for.

Common Questions
Chiropractic Care Questions, Answered.
Dr. Toumazos and Dr. Mayes treat back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, arthritis, whiplash, carpal tunnel, sciatica, sports injuries, and pregnancy-related discomfort. Every plan starts with a real conversation about your history, not a one-size-fits-all adjustment.
Yes. The gentle, instrument-assisted Torque Release Technique lets Dr. Toumazos adjust patients from infants through seniors without twisting or forceful cracking. Dr. Mayes applies the same philosophy to her prenatal and pediatric patients.
It depends on your exam findings. Some patients feel relief after a few visits; chronic or long-standing cases, like the degenerative disc disease and arthritis some patients arrive with, typically call for an ongoing plan. Your doctor reviews this with you before treatment begins.
