Our practice is dedicated to reducing/eliminating your chronic and debilitating pain and restoring your mobility.
Maybe you’ve heard these phrases…
“You have severe arthritis”
“Your joints are bone on bone”
“You’ll have to learn to live with it”
“You need a replacement”
“You have herniated discs”
“All that’s left are injections and surgery”
“There’s nothing we can do”
You may be discouraged. You may be losing hope. You may be facing increasingly invasive treatment options and think you’re “too far gone.”
Just remember, you haven’t tried everything until you’ve tried us so don’t give up just yet.
The methods I’ve developed to save myself from a lifetime of chronic pain and immobility are what I have to offer you right now.
Our protocols are safe, painless, effective, do NOT involve medications, injections or surgery and won’t cost you an arm and a leg (many of our success stories were able to eliminate their chronic pain for less than the cost of a typical MRI).
For many we weren’t their first choice…but we were their last hope.
We invite you to schedule a no-cost consultation to explore whether we have your answer.

We are proud to offer two unique treatment protocols developed by Dr. Prentice and only available in our office.
The ReBOOT Program is a comprehensive strategy to overcome chronic, degenerative and difficult conditions and is where we see the most dramatic recoveries as noted by the testimonials on this page.
Our ReBOOT program consists of:
- Alignment using a method developed by Dr Prentice and Dr Tony Palermo from a combined 60 years of clinical experience called Tonal Recalibration Technique (TRT). TRT is a manual (done by hand), gentle technique designed to relieve the nerve distress associated with spinal misalignment. This new and low force technique is perfect for addressing chronic and degenerative conditions in a safe and painless way. Aligning the spine doesn’t have to hurt!
- Deep Tissue Therapeutic Laser utilizing leading-edge technology to reduce inflammation, bring rapid relief of pain and accelerate tissue healing. Deep Tissue Therapeutic Laser is non-invasive, painless, and effective and shaves weeks off of healing time.
- Joint Mobilization using a painless, gentle and effective method of myofascial release often bringing immediate pain relief and significant increase in range of motion. This is the part of the program where we get the most “wows!”
- Home Rehabilitation using specific exercises to support structural changes and accelerate stabilization. This is what allows the progress you’ll make in the program to “stick”.
As you can see from the wide range of testimonials, the ReBOOT Program is for virtually any condition of the neuromusculoskeletal system including the spine and extremities.
A New Chiropractic Method: Tonal Recalibration Technique (TRT)
BIG results in less time, fewer visits, and less force.
Dr Steve Prentice and Dr Tony Palermo, with over 60 years of combined clinical experience, developed Tonal Recalibration Technique to reduce recurring nerve distortions utilizing a gentle, low-force alignment to reduce biomechanical stress on the spine and nervous system.
This technique was born out of the need to find a method of realigning the spine and reducing nerve tension/distress in a way that was effective, safe, and (most importantly for chronic, recurring and severe conditions) comfortable!
TRT has been a breakthrough in achieving results with tough-to-solve conditions such as:
- Headaches
- Ringing in ears (Tinnitus)
- Vertigo and other equilibrium issues
- Chronic tension and pain in neck/upper back/shoulder blades
- Nerve pain radiating into arms and hands
- Cranial nerve conditions such as Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Sleep difficulties
- Dysautonomia
- Recurring rib misalignment
TRT is proving to achieve these results in a fraction of the time and with less force than a typical manual adjustment
The fact is, many people who need help miss out on the life-changing results of chiropractic because they don’t want to be adjusted in a forceful or aggressive way. With TRT, that issue is resolved. A TRT alignment will make profound changes to the spine and nervous system while at the same time leave you feeling comfortable and relaxed.
Even patients in significant pain from a chronic condition can handle TRT comfortably.
about us
So here's the quick version...
I grew up in Fremont, California (SF bay area) and after finishing chiropractic school in 1995, re-located to Sandusky, Ohio. Why? I have no idea. In fact, to this day the most common question I get is “why would you leave California to move here??” and all I can say is that it seemed like a good idea at the time. Actually, if you’ve ever lived in CA then you know exactly why I moved across the country. To get away from Californians. The only reason I didn’t move farther away is because I would be getting too close to New York. That’s almost as bad.
I met my wife Susan the first week I was here. That’s a pretty good first week, right? We started our practice on Columbus Ave in 1996 and there we stayed until handing it off in 2018. Susan and I joined the Erie County Health Department for the next 4 years where we were able to work within the newly established detox and fulfill our goal of helping those struggling with addiction. After 4 years of working in addiction treatment we both felt the pull of private practice again and made the decision to get the band back together and reopen as the new Prentice Chiropractic & Laser.
So that gets us to today. Below is a rundown of my credentials and specialties in case you’re wondering:
Steven R. Prentice, D.C., CACCP, CCST, DACACD
- Graduated with honors from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, CA in 1995

- Certified in Webster Technique
I live in Sandusky, have been married to Sue for 24 years and we have 4 super-cute grandkids who can do no wrong.
