Core Services
Auto Accident
Recover Faster. Avoid Long-Term Problems.
If you’ve been in a car accident, even a minor one, getting proper care right away is crucial. At Yuba Sutter Chiropractic, we specialize in helping auto accident victims recover from whiplash, neck pain, back pain, headaches, and other hidden injuries.
Why You Should Seek Chiropractic Care After an Accident
Many people feel okay immediately after a crash, but symptoms often appear days or even weeks later. Untreated whiplash and soft tissue injuries can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and long-term complications. Early chiropractic intervention helps reduce inflammation, restore proper spinal alignment, and speed up your recovery naturally — without relying on pain medications.
How We Help You Heal
Dr. Gurj Kalay, DC creates a personalized treatment plan based on your specific injuries, symptoms, and goals. Our approach typically includes:
-
Gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal alignment
-
SoftWave Therapy to reduce pain and accelerate tissue healing
-
Class IV Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation and pain and help improve movement
-
Spinal Decompression Therapy (if needed for disc injuries)
-
Targeted soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation exercises
Shockwave Therapy
Advanced Healing. Drug-Free. Non-Invasive.
At Yuba Sutter Chiropractic, we are proud to offer SoftWave Therapy — a cutting-edge shockwave treatment that uses high-energy acoustic (sound) waves to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation without drugs, injections, or surgery.
What is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a highly advanced form of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). It delivers powerful yet gentle sound waves deep into injured or painful tissues. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing response at the cellular level by increasing blood flow, activating stem cells, breaking down scar tissue, and reducing inflammation.
Unlike traditional treatments that only mask symptoms, SoftWave Therapy promotes true tissue regeneration and faster recovery.
How SoftWave Therapy Works
During a treatment session, Dr. Gurj, DC applies a handheld applicator to the affected area. The therapy feels like a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation and typically lasts 10–15 minutes. Most patients find it comfortable and relaxing, with no downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately after.
Many patients experience noticeable pain relief after just 1–3 sessions, with even better results after a full course of treatment.

ReStora EMS Chair
At Yuba Sutter Chiropractic, we are excited to offer the ReStora EMS Chair — a revolutionary, non-invasive pelvic floor treatment that strengthens muscles using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology. No surgery, no medication, and no effort required.
What is the ReStora EMS Chair?
The ReStora EMS Chair is an advanced pelvic floor therapy device that stimulates deep pelvic floor and core muscles with powerful electromagnetic energy. While you sit fully clothed in the chair, it triggers thousands of intense muscle contractions in a single 30-minute session — far more effective than traditional Kegel exercises.
The easiest way to explain it: “It’s like doing thousands of Kegels while just sitting comfortably in a chair.”
How It Works
You simply sit fully clothed in the comfortable ReStora Chair for a 30-minute session. The electromagnetic technology safely penetrates deep into the pelvic floor muscles, causing powerful contractions that strengthen and re-educate the muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a strong but comfortable tapping or tightening feeling.
There is zero downtime — you can resume all normal activities immediately after treatment. A typical treatment plan includes 6–8 sessions for optimal results.
Conditions We Treat with ReStora EMS Chair
-
Urinary incontinence (stress, urge, and mixed)
-
Weak pelvic floor after pregnancy or childbirth
-
Post-menopausal pelvic floor changes
-
Pelvic organ prolapse support
-
Core muscle weakness
-
Bladder and bowel control issues
-
General pelvic floor strengthening
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Safe, Gentle Relief for Expecting Mothers
At Yuba Sutter Chiropractic, we offer safe and gentle chiropractic care specifically designed for pregnant women. Pregnancy puts a lot of stress on your body, and we help relieve common discomforts so you can enjoy this special time with less pain and greater comfort.
Why Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?
As your baby grows, your posture changes, your center of gravity shifts, and extra pressure is placed on your spine, pelvis, and joints. This often leads to back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica, and overall discomfort. Prenatal chiropractic care is a safe, natural, and drug-free way to help your body adapt to these changes and support a healthier pregnancy.
How Pregnancy Chiropractic Care Works
Dr. Gurj, DC uses gentle, pregnancy-specific chiropractic techniques that are safe for both mom and baby. No twisting or high-force adjustments are used. Instead, we utilize special tables with pelvic drops and soft tissue work when needed to help balance the pelvis and reduce tension.
Many expecting mothers find significant relief and report sleeping better, moving more comfortably, and feeling less discomfort throughout their pregnancy.
Common Pregnancy-Related Issues We Help With
-
Lower back pain
-
Pelvic girdle pain and SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction)
-
Sciatica and hip pain
-
Neck and shoulder tension
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Round ligament pain
-
Breech positioning (Webster Technique)
Decompression Chiropractic Adjustments
What is DRX 9000 Therapy?
The DRX 9000 is a state-of-the-art non-surgical spinal decompression system used by leading chiropractic and spine clinics worldwide.
It is a highly precise, computer-controlled traction table that gently stretches the spine in a controlled manner to relieve pressure on discs and nerves.
Unlike traditional traction, the DRX 9000 uses advanced technology to target specific disc levels with exact force and timing — making it one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for disc-related conditions.
How It Works
- You lie comfortably on the table with a secure harness system.
- The DRX 9000 applies a targeted, gentle pull followed by release cycles.
- This creates negative pressure inside the affected discs.
- The negative pressure can:
- Pull herniated or bulging disc material back inward
- Reduce pressure on pinched nerves
- Improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to the disc for faster healing
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Bulging Discs
-
Degenarative Disk Disease
-
Sciatica & Nerve Compression
-
Chronic Lower Back pain
-
Failed back surgery syndrome
What is the DOC Decompression Table?
The DOC Decompression Table is a state-of-the-art True 3D Spinal Decompression System.
Unlike older decompression machines, the DOC doesn’t just pull in a straight line. It delivers multi-dimensional decompression — gently stretching, bending, and rotating the spine in three dimensions to create powerful negative pressure (vacuum effect) inside the discs.
This advanced technology helps retract herniated or bulging disc material, reduces nerve pressure, and promotes natural healing.
What Makes the DOC Different? (Why It’s Better)
1. True 3D Decompression (The Biggest Advantage)
- Axial decompression (gentle pulling)
- Lateral flexion (side bending)
- Rotation (targeted twisting)
Most machines only do straight-line pulling. The DOC’s 3D movement allows precise targeting of difficult areas like L4/L5 and L5/S1 discs.
2. Smart Resistance Control (Muscle Guarding Technology)
- Continuously monitors your muscles
- Automatically adjusts pull force if your body tightens
- Creates smoother, more comfortable sessions
- Better results with higher patient tolerance
3. Built-in Cervical + Lumbar System
- One machine treats both neck and low back
- No need for separate units (unlike most competitors)
4. Digital Targeting System
- Tracks force, time, and cycles with high precision
- Allows customized vertebral targeting protocols for each patient
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Cervical Radiculopathy
-
Degenarative Disk Disease
-
Sciatica & Nerve Compression
-
Chronic Neck and Lower Back pain
-
Failed back surgery syndrome
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle & Precise Care for Natural Pain Relief and Better Mobility
At Yuba Sutter Chiropractic, chiropractic adjustments are the foundation of our care. Dr. Gurj Kalay,DC delivers gentle and precise spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment, reduce pain, improve mobility, and help your body function at its best — naturally.
What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?
A chiropractic adjustment (also called spinal manipulation) is a safe, controlled, and highly skilled technique used to correct misalignments in the spine and joints. These misalignments, called subluxations, can cause pain, muscle tension, inflammation, and restricted movement. By gently restoring proper alignment, adjustments allow your nervous system to function more efficiently and support the body’s natural ability to heal.
How Chiropractic Adjustments Work
Dr. Gurj, DC uses a variety of gentle techniques tailored to each patient’s age, condition, and comfort level. Adjustments are quick, precise, and usually produce a slight “popping” sound as gas is released from the joint. Most patients feel immediate relief in mobility and a reduction in pain and tension.
Conditions We Commonly Treat with Chiropractic Adjustments
-
Neck pain and stiffness
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Sciatica and nerve pain
-
Shoulder, hip, and knee pain
-
Whiplash and auto accident injuries
-
Sports injuries
-
Postural problems
Laser Therapy
What is MLS M7 Laser Therapy?
The MLS M7 is a state-of-the-art Multiwave Locked System (MLS®) Robotic Laser — the most advanced FDA-cleared Class IV laser therapy available today.
Using two synchronized wavelengths of light (808nm continuous + 905nm pulsed), it penetrates deep into tissues to trigger your body’s natural healing processes at the cellular level.
It reduces pain and inflammation while speeding up tissue repair — all without heat, discomfort, medications, or downtime.
How MLS M7 Laser Works

Peripheral Neuropathy
What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Neuropathy (more specifically peripheral neuropathy) is a condition where the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged or not working properly.
Your nervous system is divided into two main parts:
- Central nervous system (brain + spinal cord)
- Peripheral nervous system (all the nerves that branch out to your arms, legs, hands, feet, and organs)
When the peripheral nerves are damaged, they can’t send clear signals between your brain and the rest of your body.
How It Actually Works (Simple Explanation)
Your nerves act like electrical wiring in a house — they carry signals back and forth between your brain and your body.
- Normal nerves → Clear signals (touch, pain, temperature, movement)
- Damaged nerves → Disrupted or weakened signals
This disruption causes:
- Pain
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Weakness
Common Symptoms
Most people notice symptoms first in their feet, which then slowly move up the legs. It can also affect the hands.
- Tingling or “pins and needles” (especially in feet or hands)
- Burning or sharp nerve pain
- Numbness or reduced feeling
- Weakness (trouble gripping objects or walking)
- Sensitivity to touch (even light contact hurts)
Visual signs you may see:
- Tingling (often shown as green glowing areas on the soles)
- Numbness (loss of sensation)
- Burning sensation (red glowing areas on the feet)
