  • Can a chiropractor fix a forward head posture?

    Like any postural changes, correcting forward head posture will take time. Yes, chiropractic adjustments can definitely help and with corrective exercises that you do at home your posture can be corrected. Just like straightening teeth with braces, it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes many months of care to bring back the normal spinal curvatures. Also, it may help to change bad habits that may have contributed to the problem in the first place such as texting behavior and time spent at your computer. Working together with your chiropractor to correct spinal imbalances can fix your forward head posture over time. READ MORE

  • Should I see a chiropractor for neck pain?

    Chiropractic is very effective for neck pain. You should definitely see a chiropractor for your neck pain. They will evaluate what what is causing the pain and recommend a treatment program for you. Be assured that chiropractic is safe and effective for neck problems. READ MORE

  • Can I crack my own neck safely?

    There is always a risk to crack your own neck. I would of course recommend that you see a chiropractor to adjust your spine. That being said, if you crack your own neck by turning it in a normal range then go a little further without using your hands then I think that is the safest way. The main risk is that your neck gets locked or fixated in one position. If that happens, go see a chiropractor to have it done correctly. READ MORE

  • Can your neck being out of alignment cause dizziness?

    Yes. Many of my patients complain of dizziness when their neck is out of alignment. Most often the dizziness goes away very quickly after the adjustment. Vertigo and migraine are also frequently associated with pinched nerves in the neck which chiropractic manipulation alleviates. READ MORE

  • Should I go to a chiropractor for my neck pain?

    Chiropractic is very safe and effective for neck pain. You should definitely go to a chiropractor if you are having pain issues. The chiropractor will take a history and do an exam and then adjust your neck to remove pressure on the nerves that are causing the pain. Most likely you will have very quick improvement and the chiropractor may advise follow up treatments as well. READ MORE

  • Can you get paralyzed from chiropractor?

    I have never heard of anyone getting paralyzed from a chiropractor. The adjustment is safe and precautions are taken prior to the procedure to make sure. A careful and complete consultation and examination will be done. You need not worry about being paralyzed. READ MORE

  • What is pelvic manipulation?

    Pelvic manipulation is exactly as it sounds. It is a chiropractic adjustment that involves manipulating the pelvis. There are many different techniques that chiropractors use to manipulate the pelvis. Some are non force procedures and some involve light to moderate force. They are all effective. READ MORE

  • How do I loosen my pelvic muscles?

    The most important factor for those muscles is that they are strong. You should have a strengthened core in that area so that your body can maintain proper balance and posture. If you feel that the muscles around your pelvis are in spasm, then you should consider doing pelvic tilt exercises as well as hamstring stretches which will help. Consider doing Pilates or yoga as well. READ MORE

  • Does chiropractic treatment relieve stress?

    Yes. Chiropractic treatment relieves stress because the adjustment removes pressure from the nervous system. This results in relaxing effect on the muscles and a calming effect on the autonomic nervous system. Most people feel a great relief from the effects of stress on the body. Of course the external causes of stress also need to be addressed in order to maintain a healthy balance within. READ MORE

  • What is the best treatment for kyphosis?

    There is a genetic component to spinal kyphosis and there should not be expectations of dramatic improvement but chiropractic care and therapeutic exercises have been shown to be reasonably effective for preventing the condition from worsening and keeping the spine as stable as possible. READ MORE

  • How does your back feel after a chiropractic adjustment?

    Most of the time your back feels absolutely amazing after your adjustment. You feel lighter, free of stress, energized and more balanced. Some people have some soreness after the initial treatment but that dissipates after a couple hours. You should relax and take in the adjustment with the knowledge that your body is being aligned and your nerves are flowing freely without any interference. READ MORE

  • How often should I get chiropractic adjustments for sciatica?

    There is no set amount of adjustments for any particular condition. Your treatment schedule will depend on what your chiropractor determines will give you the best outcome. There are many causes of sciatica so the amount of visits required will depend on what is going on in your particular case and other such factors like the length of time you’ve had the problem and the degree of pain you have. Talk to your chiropractor about the concerns you have in terms of the number of treatments. READ MORE

  • How often should you get a chiropractic adjustment?

    How often you should get an adjustment depends on what stage of care you are in, what your history is, and many other factors. Most of my patients who are in the maintenance stage of care get an adjustment every couple weeks or once/month. You should talk to your chiropractor about what they would recommend for you if you are in maintenance care. Dr. Steven I. Brown READ MORE

  • What causes tight neck muscles?

    There are many causes of tight muscles in the neck. Physical stress on the neck such as being in one position for a long time for example texting or looking at your computer. It could be from sleeping in an awkward position or with an uncomfortable pillow. Mental stress can cause tension in your neck as well. When you feel anxious or stressed the muscles in the neck will tighten and stiffen. Other causes of neck stiffness are TMJ conditions, trauma and sometimes side effects from certain medications. Chiropractic is a great way to treat neck muscle tightness with spinal adjustment and other effective techniques. READ MORE

  • Should your back hurt after seeing a chiropractor?

    Generally speaking, your back should not hurt very much after an adjustment. However, experiencing soreness or aching is normal. You might want to communicate with your chiropractor exactly what you are feeling and definitely give the treatments time to take effect. Any persistent or worsening of your condition should be explained to the doctor. READ MORE

  • Can chiropractors help with muscle knots?

    Chiropractors can definitely help with muscle knots. Most chiropractors employ a technique called myofascial which alleviates muscle tension and increases blood flow. In addition, the chiropractic manipulation is effective in allowing the muscles to relax and improve nerve energy to the involved muscle group. So, you would benefit from chiropractic treatment if you have knots in your muscles. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor ease hand arthritis?

    Chiropractors mostly treat spine conditions but extremities are part of most chiropractors repertoire. However, arthritis pain in the hands is not really a condition that responds to chiropractic treatment. Corrective exercises combined with anti inflammatory diet and supplements can be very effective for that kind of condition. READ MORE

  • Should I see a chiropractor for my lower back pain?

    Since chiropractors have excellent results helping people with lower back pain, the obvious answer is yes. There is little or no risk involved. The longer you wait the longer it will take to get well. See a chiropractor soon and get the help you need. READ MORE

  • Should you rest after a chiropractic adjustment?

    It’s a good idea to take it easy after your adjustment. Don’t do strenuous exercise and try to avoid prolonged sitting. Otherwise just live your normal daily activities. READ MORE

  • Can you correct scoliosis in adults?

    Scoliosis is curvature if the spine and there can be multiple causes. Most common is hereditary disposition. There is not much one can do to correct this once you reach age 30. However, you can still prevent it from getting worse with corrective exercises and chiropractic care. Obviously, the younger you are and the sooner you begin to treat scoliosis the better the results will be. I have seen adults with moderate scoliosis improve but it will not completely return to normal. The more severe the curvature the harder it will be to correct. READ MORE
