  • Should you rest your foot if you have plantar fasciitis?

    resting your foot is usually what makes the discomfort or pain worse. The alignment of the foot causes the joints of the foot to misalign and lock, often causing tension on the heel and pulling the fascia taut. Icing the taught fibers, followed by using a tennis or massage ball can help to stretch out the fascia. An extremity adjustment of the foot can make a great difference in your foot pain, specifically fasciitis. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor damage your spine?

    In a large majority of cases the spinal adjustment is not painful and there is no damage to the spine.

The by product of the the adjustment is releasing CO2 gas, much like cracking a knuckle READ MORE

  • I have a compression facture in my back it's t 11 t 12

    Yes you can fly but the prolonged sitting will likely become more painful for you. Unfortunately for compression fractures, there are no immediate or quick fixes. Expect 8 to 10 weeks to heal the fractures. Listen to your body when you are participating in activities as too much activity may exacerbate the injury. OTC meds, bracing, TENS units and topical creams can all help with pain and discomfort. READ MORE

  • How do you realign your knee cap?

    A knee cap can be realigned in a few ways. After a thorough exam and history, the next step for me is determining the position of the knee in relation to the femur, tibia, fibula and the foot. The mechanism of injury will determine the treatment. For example, does the knee hurt going up stairs, pain going down stairs or pain/ popping while going from sitting to standing, they all indicate a specific treatment. With non-traumatic injuries, micro-traumas such as posture, sitting habits, sleeping habits and previous injuries can affect the knee. Our treatments evaluate and treat the quadriceps muscle group- rectus femoris, VMO, or the vast lateralis/IT band is a frequent culprit in knee cap misalignment. In addition, our office determines the alignment of the knee in relation to the foot; is it neutral, lateral or medial to the kneecap and tibia? In traumatic injuries, imaging first and then similar treatments. Weakness of specific muscles can definitely affect the positioning of the knee cap causing compensation in movement patterns. Our treatments will focus on manual or instrument realignment, activation or release of the affected groups and finally rehabilitation of injured muscles using some of our ancillary rehab tools.
