My Answers

Can you treat shoulder impingement with exercises?
Of course. First go to a chiropractor that does shoulder adjustments. Yours is ANTERIOR SUBLUXATED. 100% of the time. Then you can do whatever therapy you want. You tube videos cover the needed exercises. Never do PT on a area before the subluxation (mini- dislocation). Otherwise, massage, PT and Chiropractic are ideal. Stay away from cortisone, as it does not FIX the problem. READ MORE
Can knee arthritis be treated without medications?
Most knee arthritis comes from an imbalance of the quadriceps muscle. It can lead to a patellar grind situation. Look of VMO exercises on You tube for treating it.

Is a chiropractor good for shoulder pain?
Very few doctors of any type are good at shoulder pain, not even specialists.

Without the proper diagnosis, no proper advice can be given. READ MORE

How do chiropractors help sinus pain and pressure?
The SCM muscles and the side neck muscles are often tight, so the eustation tubes cant allow the flow of left over mucus. Upper neck adjustments with massage, or acupuncture to some key face points and LI4, in the web of the hand, are successfully used as well. You could also just try to put Halls mentholatum right behind the jaw, under the ear area (I bet it's tender there), and under nose at night. READ MORE
