Can chiropractors prescribe medications?
The short answer is no. There are very few states where special DCs can prescribe some anti-inflammatory and pain meds, but it's very limited. I suggest looking up the Alpha-Stim micro current device. We utilize these on a daily basis for acute pain with good results. READ MORE
Foot pain from tennis. What can a chiropractor do to help?
It all starts with a good patient history and exam. There are many reasons to have foot/heel pain - low arches, heel spurs, ill fitting or improper shoes, mechanical joint dysfunction, etc. Treatments can consist of manipulation, custom molded arch supports and physical therapy. Try to find a chiropractor that is trained for this condition, and good luck! READ MORE
My son hurt his back in a football game. Is surgery or chiropractic care best for him?
There is an old adage I use: 1. Chiropractic first 2. Medications second 3. Surgery - last resort It all depends on what the actual problem will be. Just because a patient has a herniated disc is not an indication for surgery. Research tells us that 40% of the population with no history of back pain have at least one herniated disc in the low back. The best place to start is with a good biomechanically based chiropractor. Then, if that does not work, all options are still open. Good luck. READ MORE
Is homeopathy a good option for treating muscular pains and aches?
That depends on what is causing the pain. If there is a mechanical imbalance (short leg, low foot arches, misaligned joints, etc.) causing the problem, then that problem must be tackled first. If no cause can be found, there may be some relief with homeopathic remedies, just make sure you find an experienced practitioner. READ MORE
