Dr. Richard M. Merrion D.C.'s Expert Contributions
  • What is the popping sound during chiropractic adjustments?

    The “popping sound” is actually the release of gas (Nitric Oxide) from within the fluid of a synovial joint. READ MORE

  • Is it safe to see a chiropractor with a herniated disc?

    Absolutely. While there are some adjustments that shouldn’t be done, there are ways to treat as well as “gap” the vertebral joints which can help to alleviate pain and radicular symptoms. READ MORE

  • Do professional athletes use chiropractors?

    Yes. Many professional athletes use chiropractors and in fact, many professional sports teams in the NFL, MLB, and NHL have chiropractors on staff. READ MORE

  • How often should I get my back adjusted?

    There is no absolute answer to this question. Much of it depends on if you have any postural issues or if you have had any back problems in the past. Most patients in my office are seen on a 4 or 6 week maintenance schedule based upon their activity level and also if they are doing exercises each day to counteract the stressors of repetitive or constant postures and work/life conditions. This is normally after a corrective therapeutic plan to address their issues. Hope that helps give you some guidance! READ MORE

  • How young is too young to see a chiropractor?

    Chiropractors adjust babies from hours after birth, so 3 years old is definitely not too young. 3 years old is definitely too young for neck pain though! READ MORE

  • Can I work out after a chiropractic adjustment?

    It really depends on what your doctor thinks after assessing your condition, but generally, healthy individuals getting adjustments can work out after their treatment. READ MORE

  • Can pregnant women go see a chiropractor?

    Absolutely! One of the safest ways to treat back pain in pregnancy. READ MORE

  • What is myofascial pain syndrome? How is it treated?

    Myofascial pain syndrome is diagnosed as a result of multiple areas of acute sensitivity in muscle fibers called “trigger points,” which often refer pain to other areas of the body. It is caused by inflammation and sometimes as a stress response. Trigger points are common but not normal in muscle fibers. The condition is treatable and common treatments include chiropractic adjustments to restore nerve function to the muscle, physical therapy, massage therapy, and dry needling for pain relief and resolution of the trigger points. This is not a disease, it is easily treatable, and your wife should recover fully. Key to success of treatment is finding the underlying cause of the inflammation. Dr. Richard M. Merrion READ MORE
