The half of care you take home
Hands-on care restores motion; exercise makes it stick. Every meaningful care plan here includes therapeutic exercise — specific, dosed, and taught until you actually own it: mobility work for restricted segments, strengthening for the support muscles that got outvoted, nerve glides for irritated nerves, and progressive loading that turns fragile back into durable. This isn't a photocopied sheet of twenty generic stretches — it's the two to four things your findings say matter, upgraded as you progress.
What this includes
- Condition-specific home exercise programs
- Mobility work for restricted joints and stiff regions
- Progressive strengthening — the durability engine
- Nerve glide protocols for radicular patterns
- Balance and proprioception retraining after injuries
- Programs updated at re-evaluations, not set-and-forget
Every service starts the same way: a real examination and a plain-English report of findings. Call (775) 829-7575 or request an appointment online — same-week openings are usually available.

How much time will the exercises take?
Usually five to fifteen minutes a day — consistency beats volume by a mile. We'd rather you own three exercises than ignore twelve.
What if an exercise hurts?
Stop and tell us — pain is information, not a grade. Programs get adjusted to findings; gritting through the wrong exercise helps nobody.
Why not just get adjusted and skip the homework?
Because motion without support invites the problem back. Patients who do the take-home half simply keep their results longer — we see the difference every week, and we'll be honest with you about it.
What patients say
Reno Patients, In Their Own Words
“First time here… Friendly and efficient receptionist, she explained everything in detail. I saw Dr. Bader. Listened to my areas of pain, explained many things and my first adjustment was great. He is also friendly, has good “bedside” manners. They are a hometown health provider.”
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Bader for the last 15 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great bedside manor. The office is very well run… Most insurance is accepted and if it’s not, the cash plan is very reasonable. Walk in’s are acceptable and same day appointments are most likely.”
“Dr Bader is a Super Chiropractor! Palmer educated.”
“They actually work on fixing your issues with adjustments and therapy and get you in and out of the office in a timely manner.”
