  • How long does a pinched nerve in the neck last?

    Hi there, A pinched nerve is really a medical diagnosis that does not mean much clinically. Meaning, you can have nerve irritation and have neck pain alone or you can have radiating pain into the arm. A chiropractic analysis is geared to determine what’s causing irritation to the nerve and to correct it rather than just dead in the nerve so you do not have pain. It is very difficult to answer how long it will take without knowing what’s causing irritation to the nerve. READ MORE

  • Is chiropractic good for headaches?

    Hi, Yes, many headache sufferers find relief from chiropractic care where other methods have failed. Most headaches are neuromuscular, which affects blood flow to the head, causing headaches. I would suggest that you consult with a doctor of chiropractic. READ MORE

  • Why does my neck crunch when I roll my head?

    Hi there, there could be several reasons why your neck cracks, or what it’s called crepitus when you roll your neck. At your age the most common reason would be spinal vertebra having excessive motion because they are compensating for other(s) where the joints are locked up which is part of a subluxation. The body is always trying to heal itself so other vertebra will take up the slack to compensate.Another reason could be arthritic change. I would highly recommend that you consult with the doctor of chiropractic. READ MORE

  • Does the posture corrector work?

    The best thing to correct posture is exercise/improved ergonomics with desk/computer work and chiropractic care, not in that order necessarily. Posture correctors are not the best way to improve posture. READ MORE

  • What is the fastest way to fix forward head posture?

    Hello there! A forward head translation is the most common faulty posture in North America. Be aware not to have more than one pillow when sleeping on your back. If side sleeping use one pillow as well but a little thicker one. If on the computer do an exercise every fifteen minutes for 5 seconds by tucking your chin in, look to the ceiling and roll your shoulders. Lastly, commonly a person with a forward head translation will also have a straight (military neck). Both of these conditions need to be analyzed by a doctor of chiropractic because of the impact it can have on your nerve system (specifically the tone of your spinal cord). READ MORE

  • How do chiropractors adjust ankles?

    Hi there, The adjustment of the ankle is kind of easy. Most sprains cause a misalignment of one of the 7 bones in your ankle. Over the years, I’ve adjusted many ankles and they respond sometimes miraculously. READ MORE

  • What do sports chiropractors do?

    Chiropractor specialty is adjusting the spine. The key is to find somebody who does that really well and also cannot handle sports injuries and maximizing athletic performance. Active release technique is the best way to handle most sports performance issues. Again, you need a doctor of chiropractic and also adjust the spine extremely well! READ MORE

  • My shoulder pain is getting worse without chiropractic?

    If you cannot find time to see your chiropractor at least to be sure you are not making your shoulder worse. Many times, shoulder pain is related to the neck. It can also be irritation to the shoulder (possible the rotator cuff muscles), and this will show up as pain only when you move your shoulder joint (although at times this can also be related to the neck). To help your neck (shoulder), do not sleep on your stomach. Take breaks at your computer/desk/phone time. Study proper ergonomics at your work station. Best of all, see your chiropractor! READ MORE

    Hello, Some females can have unstable pelvis is due to hormonal activity.
