With out seeing you in person it would be hard to tell. If it is on your dominant side it is more than likely over training on your stronger side. it can be corrected by using unilateral exercises on the weaker side.

Yes, we take x-rays of every patient. I have come across fractures and tumors that patients were not aware of. If we would have treated those patients without x-rays we would have caused more harm.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Unfortunately sometimes this can happen after an adjustment. It is not common but happens every so often. Sometimes it could be from being to tense while the doctor is treating you. My advice is to ice the area on and off for 15 minutes. Call your current doctor and tell him what happebed. More than likely he will have you come back in. Some offices have tens units or ems therapy that can be used to help with the pain. If you already have a tens unit at home that will help as well. If the pain continues then I would recommend an MRI to see what is happening. There are more gentle ways your doctor can adjust you such as an activator or other types of devices. If you have more questions you may call us at any time. 770-545-8888

This is not an easy answer without seeing xrays. The answer is yes an no depending on the type and severity. Sometimes it can be from one leg being shorter that the other. There are braces available to help reduce curves or prevent them from getting worse as his spine develops. Chiropractic adjustments by themselves and corrective exercises may be all he needs.

Yes. When you fuse the spine you limit the motion of your spine and put stress on your joints and muscles. There are still therapies available that may help alleviate your pain. A consultation and evaluation can help us better determine how we can help you. There may be a chance where stem cell therapy or PRP therapy can be a treatment option. The cause of the pain may also be from an adjacent region near the surgery that is causing your pain. You can always call us at 770-545-8888 to schedule your free consultation.

It could be sciatica. It could be many other conditions as well such as facet syndrome, piriformis syndrome or sacral iliac inflammation.

You can always call us at 770-545-8888 to find out more.

Spina bifida is a genetic malformation of the spine. In men it will not typically cause infertility however the genes can be passed on to the children. I see spina bifida all the time on x-rays where patients never knew they had it. There are more severe cases of spina bifida that could potentially cause health issues but are usually rare. Your doctor can usually detect these issues early with ultrasounds and treatments are typically available. There are many other causes of infertility such as PCOS. Thyroid disorders and hormone imbalances. If you are having problems with fertility this would be a great area to start. Feel free to schedule a FREE consultation with our office to find out how we may be able to help you. 770-545-8888

Its NEVER too late to see a chiropractor? I have been treating patients for 10 years who have been involved in a car accident. If you want treatment to be covered by the responsible party insurance then I would highly recommend an attorney. I work with several that will listen to your case and see if you should file a claim. If you are interested in just feeling better than call us at 770-545-8888 to schedule your appointment. I look forward to helping you.

I understand your concern. I would recommend a consult to review your case. I have seen many patients who have had surgery and they have no complications with chiropractic treatments. We have very gentle treatments and soft tissue therapies to be as conservative as possible if necessary. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at 770-545-8888.
