Can I work out after a chiropractic adjustment?
You should be fine working gout after your adjustment unless your workouts are causing the lower back pain. It would be wise to listen to your chiropractor and see what he/she finds from your examination. Based on your exam, he/she could recommend or not if you should workout after. READ MORE
Foot pain from tennis. What can a chiropractor do to help?
Diagnosing the cause of the foot pain is key as to if chiropractic will help. If your foot pain is possibly plantar fasciitis, chiropractic adjustments can help to restore proper motion to the ankle and foot. With plantar fasciitis also comes ligament, muscle, and fascia inflammation. A chiropractor who also does acupuncture will be able to treat those issues as well. Hope this helps! READ MORE
What is an adjustment like for a child?
Hello there! Your concern is valid since seeing some adults being adjusted can look forceful. Being a mom myself, I question everything I have done to my kids too! I've been personally adjusting both of my boys since birth. Adjustments on children are much more gentle compared to what it looks like for an adult. Not that adult adjustments should be very forceful. You can definitely get a gentle adjustment and see improvement in your complaint. Some chiropractors use Activator, cranial sacral therapy, and/or soft tissue work as well which are all very gentle techniques. Ask other moms in your area who they take their kids to. Hope this helps! READ MORE

My son hurt his back in a football game. Is surgery or chiropractic care best for him?
Based on what you’ve told me, your son could do a trial of chiropractic care so as he’s not losing nerve function. If your son has a loss of nerve function, he is a possible surgery candidate. Many people have herniated discs and don’t know it. Sometimes all these people have is mild back pain. Over the years, I’ve had patients with 1-2 disc bulges and only come into our office with mild pain. Chiropractic care is a great conservative approach to treating herniated discs. Adjustments can help the body start to heal itself and the joints to start functioning properly. Hope this helps! READ MORE
Can a chiropractor help me with my sciatica?
Chiropractors help with Sciatica every day! When going to your chiropractor, you'll be examined that day and treated based on your exam results. Sciatica can be treated using chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue manipulation depending on the cause of your sciatica. READ MORE
