  • Is a chiropractor helpful in treating kids?

    This is a great question. Can chiropractics be helpful for children? The answer is yes. I have treated as young as 2 days old. They had weak muscles in the neck from child birth. We always do an examination on the patient to see what is causing the problem. Sometimes we even take X-rays to rule out other issues. Most of the time, a few adjustments will get him out of pain when walking. READ MORE

  • Very tight neck

    Yes, Chiropractic can help. The nervous system is amazing. The nerves that come from the cervical spine go directly to the muscles in the neck and upper back. If there is compression of a nerve in the neck the muscles cannot work properly. Let me give you an example. Lets say you are outside watering your garden. Your husband sneaks up on you and bends the hose so the water flow is reduced. This is what can happen with the nervous system. READ MORE

  • I had back surgery. Should I see a chiropractor or avoid it?

    I have worked on many patients who have had back and neck surgery. We have to evaluate the condition to see exactly what is going on. The adjustments i would do depends on what kind of surgery you had and what extent the surgery went. It is worth your time to at least have a consultation with a chiropractor. READ MORE

  • My back hurts when I sit down. Why?

    It could be a simple muscle strain. We put ourselves in very odd positions several times per day. You may have some type of nerve involvement as well. Stretching daily is very important whether you have pain or not. Seeing a chiropractor would help. They should do an exam to find out what is causing the pain. READ MORE
