I have a little pain in my calf muscles. What should I do?
The best treatment for a pulled, strained or torn calf muscle is to remember the word PRICE. Healing can take anywhere from 3 weeks for a pulled muscle up to 3-4 months for a tear. You need to Protect the area, Rest the area, Ice the area, Compress the area, and Elevate the area. If it shows signs of redness or there is increased swelling, always check with your medical doctor to eliminate any other issues which might be causing your pain. READ MORE
My son hurt his back in a football game. Is surgery or chiropractic care best for him?
It is my experience that herniated discs cannot be verified with X-rays alone. I would recommend an MRI to confirm the damage to the discs (if any). Many football players have back pain following practices and games. A thorough examination along with the X-rays should determine the level of care needed and if additional imaging is appropriate. The majority of back pain injuries respond well to chiropractic care. READ MORE
