  • When should I go to the chiropractor for upper back pain?

    If your pain lasts more than a few days and does not appear to be diminishing you should see a chiropractor. The doctor will evaluate your condition and if appropriate remove nerve pressure by adjusting your spine. Most chiropractors will help alleviate muscle spasms and suggest home care remedies as well. The sooner you seek help the quicker you will recover. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help with breathing?

    Chiropractors adjust the spine and remove pressure from the nerves. If there is spinal pressure in the thoracic region this may affect the lungs and diaphragm. Many people feel immediate help with breathing when this pressure is released. So, yes, chiropractors can definitely help with breathing. READ MORE

  • How long does it take to adjust your spine?

    How long it takes to adjust your spine is impossible to answer. A chiropractor needs to examine the spine and determine which vertebrae or other parts are in need of correction. That could take a minute or twenty depending on many factors. To perform the manipulation should take about a tenth of a second if performed correctly. But there are certain techniques that take much longer. There’s no definite time that it takes to adjust the spine. READ MORE

  • Can I take a shower after seeing a chiropractor?

    Of course you can take a shower after seeing a chiropractor. Yes, by all means. Take a shower after getting an adjustment. READ MORE

  • Why do chiropractors crack your bones?

    Chiropractors adjust the vertebrae to put them back in their proper position and remove pressure on the nerves. The cracking sound is the sound made when some gas is released or moved from one part of the joint capsule to another. It’s perfectly safe and chiropractors are not really cracking bones. READ MORE

  • How does chiropractic help the immune system?

    Chiropractic is primarily concerned with the nervous system. The nerves control the bodily functions including the organs and glands that comprise the immune systems, such as the spleen, lungs, thymus, etc. If the nerve supply to one or more of these organs is being effected by a subluxated vertebrae then the immune system will be compromised. By adjusting the spine and removing the nerve interference the body can more effectively deal with challenges to its immune system. The main purpose of chiropractic is to restore and maintain a balanced nervous system, thereby obtaining optimal health. Dr. Steven I. Brown, Chiropractor READ MORE

  • Why does my back keep going out of alignment?

    Spinal misalignment is caused by many factors. Depending on your activities, stress, diet, heredity, and how long you have had a particular condition.There is no simple answer to your question. You might want to limit prolonged sitting, get more exercise, lead a healthier lifestyle, and make dietary changes that may effect your metabolism. It's a good idea to be aware of posture and get maintenance chiropractic care to keep balanced and aligned as possible. Dr. Steven I. Brown, Chiropractor READ MORE

  • How long does it take to realign your spine?

    There is no way to determine how long it would take to realign someone's spine. Much depends on the persons age, how long they have had the condition, the severity of the problem, what their activity level is, and other factors as well. Heredity also plays a factor. Every person is unique and chiropractic is effective to create balance and correct misalignment. But, there is no way to  predict how long a particular change will take. Dr. Steven I. Brown, Chiropractor READ MORE

  • Should my back hurt after chiropractic adjustment?

    At the start of chiropractic treatment, it's possible for your back to feel sore. However, this should not continue after a few treatments.If that's the case you should talk to your chiropractor so they know what's going on and can recommend some home care. It's good to walk for about 10-15 minutes immediately after an adjustment and avoid strenuous activities for a day or two following. Sometimes a cold pack over the area of concern or a warm bath is recommended. Dr. Steven I. Brown, Chiropractor READ MORE

  • How can I adjust my wrists myself?

Long-term benefits will necessitate corrective care for a period of time followed by a maintenance program of care. READ MORE

  • How can I adjust my hips like a chiropractor?

    You cannot adjust your hips like a chiropractor. That’s why there are chiropractors. We go to chiropractic school for four years after college. It’s a science and an art. Chiropractors who are trained and skilled don’t adjust their own hips. So, I would suggest you see a professional who knows what they are doing. READ MORE

  • What to do after adjusting back?

    It’s a good idea to walk for about 20 minutes after an adjustment before jumping back in your car or sitting for an extended period. After that just avoid strenuous exercise and try to be relaxed and take in the adjustment. Remember to breathe. That’s all. READ MORE

  • What are the symptoms of tight hip flexors?

    Tight hip flexors can cause hip pain, low back pain, sciatica or leg pain. Besides pain, the tight flexors cause pelvis instability and imbalance, which may affect the rest of the spine. READ MORE

  • Will exercise help achy legs?

    It’s always a good idea to walk and exercise is generally recommended for aches in the legs. However, there must be a reason why you complain of aching legs so that should be checked out. You should have an independent consultation and examination to determine what’s going on and if you require some sort of treatment beyond exercise. READ MORE

  • Can uneven leg length cause hip pain?

    Uneven anatomical leg length can cause hip pain. More often than not, it is uneven pelvis imbalance causing the leg length difference. If there is an anatomical leg length difference due to leg fracture, birth defects, or other problems, then pain can either be referred to the pelvis or the resulting hip imbalance may cause pain. A careful examination can determine if the leg imbalance is structural/anatomical or functional due to the pelvis imbalance. Most chiropractors are skilled in this examination procedure and can offer appropriate treatment. READ MORE

  • What does a rib out of alignment feel like?

    A rib out of alignment or subluxated is painful to the touch and causes pain with certain movements or even breathing. It’s difficult to self-diagnose. You should see a skilled chiropractor for a proper evaluation if you have pain in a rib area. READ MORE

  • How do you sleep with a pulled rib muscle?

    Very gingerly. Try to find the most comfortable position. Usually that will be on the opposite side of the pulled muscle. You can alternate heat and ice before bed and use ice pack on that area when you go to sleep. You can take anti-inflammatory medication as well that may help you sleep. See your chiropractor for additional therapy. It should heal in a couple weeks. Dr. Steven I. Brown, Chiropractor READ MORE
