Centennial Families Have Trusted Us Since 1997
Many families across Centennial have placed their trust in Axis Health and Wellness to help them get out of pain and live their lives to the fullest. Dr. Tony Nicholas always listens to his patients first and takes time to examine them, so he understands what’s going on. He will explain his findings in plain language, so his patients understand what’s going on.
Each treatment plan is built around the needs of the patient, and there’s no cookie-cutter approach to care. There’s no recommendation of a 60-visit package at the end of the exam; instead, the specialists will lay out the patient’s options from the least intensive to the most comprehensive, and this is going to be re-evaluated every week. If the results are not showing around the 8th to 12th visit, Dr. Nicholas will refer the patients to the right specialists instead of scheduling another booking with them.
Most people who come to him are the ones who have tried everything else with no improvements. He starts with an X-ray and uses his Chiropractic BioPhysics training to get the best results. This is why many patients find relief after visiting him because he has a team who genuinely cares.
About Our PracticeOur Treatments & Care
Every treatment in this office has earned its place by delivering results. Dr. Nicholas added SoftWave because knee and shoulder pain often need more than adjustments alone, and he uses spinal imaging before treatment to understand what’s actually happening rather than relying on guesswork. Here are the three therapies patients ask about most.

Spinal Decompression
This involves spending around 20 minutes on a Chattanooga decompression table, and what it does is pull the vertebrae apart to take the tension off the disc joints. It’s designed to draw herniated disc material back toward the center of the disc, off the e nerve it was pressing on,, for proper relief.
Patients who have herniated or degenerative discs, are good candidates, as well as those with stiff backs. If your previous medical doctor didn’t explain what your imaging results show, expect that we translated them here. Patients should be aware that they may experience stiffness when standing up after the first couple of sessions, but it’s going to wear off shortly afterward. Dr. Nicholas estimates that about 90% of success rates happen when patients complete their treatment plan see successful results.

Auto Accident Care
A collision involves high-speed acceleration where sudden forces are being transferred to the body. This can throw the neck out of alignment, and this can make the lower back hurt if there’s a whiplash injury. The feeling may be delayed, but it’s mostly felt after around three days. Those are the injuries that hide behind feeling fine, and treating them early is what prevents them from getting worse.
The specialists will get extensive X-rays, including motion views, to know the extent of the ligament damage, and they’re going to document precisely the effects of the car crash on their patient’s body. In most cases, they will bill the individual’s insurance company directly or send documentation to an attorney if needed. Full recovery generally requires 20 to 26 treatments, with improvements expected by the 12th visit. Before your next drive, read what we wish every driver knew.

SoftWave Therapy
This type of treatment uses a stylus that sends acoustic sound waves into the injured tissues so they can get increased blood flow. Once an issue becomes chronic, the brain might stop trying to heal the area, and this is the right medical equipment that restores this. It’s also part of the clinic’s neuropathy program, and the sessions take about ten minutes. They are non-invasive with low to no side effects.
Dr. Tony uses this on every patient’s injured knee or those that have arthritis and many other conditions. Your first session is $49, because trying it once or twice is a reasonable way to find out if your joint responds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions new patients ask us most. Don’t see yours here? Give us a call at (303) 221-1185 and we’ll be happy to help.
What should I expect on my first visit?
Expect a warm greeting from the staff and make sure to fill out your medical history first. In the exam room, Dr. Nicholas will listen to all of your concerns, and he will follow this up with X-rays if he determines that you need them. He would want to see what’s actually happening inside the spine rather than make assumptions for safer results.
Same-day treatments are available for many patients, and many can specifically get tested with SoftWave after a brief consultation. Leave the office with the confidence that you know what’s going on and what the plan is and take note of the scheduled date of when you would be coming back. The first visit usually starts at $29.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
There’s no need for referrals since chiropractors are licensed primary-contact providers. Book directly with the office and get the help that you need immediately.
If you have questions about whether your insurance plan will cover the treatments, our front desk staff will be more than happy to address them and help you clarify some information during the visit.
Do you accept insurance, and what if I do not have any?
Many insurance plans are accepted except Medicaid, and the team will first verify the coverage before any treatment plan starts. HSA, FSA, CareCredit, cash, Cherry, and other major credit cards are also accepted as payment options.
A lot of patients may worry about the costs, and fortunately, the treatment plans are available from the simplest option to the most comprehensive ones, and there are details about these on insurance and payment page. that you can check out. Nobody gets turned away over money if Dr. Nicholas can help it.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Yes, because chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the drug-free alternatives for joint problems, back pain, neck pain, and other conditions. It’s non-invasive, and before any adjustment starts, the practitioner will conduct a proper exam first to determine the root cause of the problem.
Dr. Nicholas has a principle of do no harm, and he first establishes the patient’s level of pain before recommending treatment, and he adapts his techniques according to their age and current medical condition.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on one’s condition and how long a patient has been experiencing it, but acute back pain usually starts with at least two to three visits a week to alleviate the stinging sensations, and then it can decrease to one day a week, especially if one continues to follow the chiropractor’s instructions carefully. Chronic joint problems on SoftWave typically require six to ten sessions.
Re-evaluation happens each week, and any adjustments will be made depending on the progress. If the treatment doesn’t produce the ideal results within the 8th to 12th visit, the patient will be referred to the right specialist instead of getting booked for another session.
Can you help after a car accident?
Yes, getting checked as soon as possible matters because collision injuries can take time to show up, and when they’re left untreated, they become worse over time. Patients who have gotten into an accident will undergo a thorough exam with extensive X-rays to see if there’s ligament damage.
Most of the time, the bill will be sent to your insurance company, and the clinic will also send records to your attorney if you need one. They will also take note of any noticeable improvements that should show up around the 12th visit if needed.
What if I have already tried everything else?
Then, you’re exactly the kind of patient that Dr. Nicholas works on. His ideal patients are the ones who have taken a lot of medications and have tried various medical treatments but found no relief. They go to his clinic as a last resort, and they usually get out of pain since the doctor treats the actual root cause of the problem rather than just the symptoms.
It’s best to bring your medical records and previous X-rays and tell the doctor about the treatments that you’ve tried. Check out more information in our full chiropractor FAQs and on the blog.
