  • Can a chiropractor help with rheumatoid arthritis knee pain?

    It is possible. But this relief would more depend on the amount of OA in the joint and where the OA is mainly located. In early stages, relief is likely if the knee is not tracking properly.

  • Do chiropractors really move bones?

    Possibly. But not much. At most, a millimeter at a time. Young people with open growth plates that have a curvature of the spine can potentially have the curve angle reduced. Chiropractors really help joints move freely. John C. Lemke, D.C. M.E. READ MORE

  • Should I have a chiropractic adjustment after playing sports?

    Quick answer: It would be beneficial. Yet, I would not say it is needed. Maintaining proper biomechanics always will help your body and mind function at a more efficient level. Dr. John C. Lemke READ MORE

  • Can I exercise after a back adjustment?

    It depends on your history. But if you’re an otherwise normal healthy individual then sure you can work out. READ MORE

  • How to fix bad posture?

    You can get a very simple posture correction brace for around $20. The work well to remind you to keep straight which will strengthen your upper back muscles too. Also you can do pectoral stretches. The back muscles over power the smaller upper back muscles and when you stretch them you will naturally straighten a little. Thanks, John C. Lemke DC ME READ MORE

  • Is there a treatment for degenerative disc disease?

    Traction. Most chiropractic clinics can treat degenerative disc disease. Have a great day! READ MORE

  • Why does my back crack so much during an adjustment?

    When you are getting adjusted, you will hear a popping sound. That is simply the same noise you hear when you crack your knuckles. The sound itself DOES NOT signify that the adjustment was “good.” Proper chiropractic adjustments are a result of proper line of drive and direction of the fixated structures at issue. The sound is associated with it and most people think the adjustment wasn’t effective if they don’t hear that sound. This is false. However, when you get adjusted, you may get a slight euphoric feeling at first, which is the release of endorphins and enkephalins into your bloodstream. You also can be followed by soreness later that day if it’s not a regular occurrence for you. READ MORE

  • Back exercises after adjustments?

    Without examining you it would be hard to answer. But you could ask your chiropractor if you would benefit from core strengthening exercises like Superman or using a foam roller. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help me with my lower back pain?

    The blanket answer for this would be absolutely yes. Even the American medical Association recommends to it’s medical doctors that they should refer their patients to chiropractors for neck and low back pain. However with out actually examining you I could not tell you for sure nor could any other doctor. Generally low back pain has great results from chiropractic care. Although even with low back pain I do have some patients that get very little relief. READ MORE

  • What is the lump that I can feel right behind my neck?

    Without actually seeing you I can’t tell you for sure. But what you’re describing sounds like normal anatomical structure. Generally C7 or T1 protrudes right at shoulder level. You have seven cervical vertebra labeled C1 through C7 and 12 thoracic labeled T-1 through T 12. READ MORE

  • Can an X-ray diagnose a spinal deformity?

    Absolutely. That is what a chiropractor does every day. Find a chiropractor with a good reputation that you are comfortable with and have them check you out for any issues. READ MORE

  • My ankle hurts even after I walk a mile. What could be the reason for this?

    There are a variety of issues that would give you ankle pain. Your bodys alignment could be one of them. Ankle pain can be caused from the ankle joint not working correctly or possibly the knee or your hip they all work together so it’s best to have it checked out. However there’s many other issues too. The best thing to do is start with either your chiropractor or your medical doctor and see where the problem begins. READ MORE

  • Is fertility reduced with spina bifida?

    It depends on the severity of the spina bifida and there could be other factors like erectile dysfunction. But it would be best to check with a urologist. READ MORE

  • I have a problem with my posture that is causing back pain. What should I do?

    You can always work on correcting your posture. I even tell that to my elderly patients. I would simply go to a chiropractor that you trust, ask them about your issues and see what they recommend. READ MORE

  • My back hurts when I sit down. Why?

    This sounds like classic nerve root irritation, most likely in the lumbar spine. You should find a chiropractor you feel comfortable with and have it checked out. Good luck! READ MORE

  • Will a chiropractor be able to help me with my hip pain in the 5 month of my pregnancy?

    More than likely yes, if you’re going to someone competent. Just like all professions, there are some much better than others. But low back pain, hip pain, with pregnancy is common and I treat it successfully often. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help me with a pain in the back of my thigh?

    Possibly. Your question is too vague for me to know for sure. But the long muscles of the upper thigh and lower extremities definitely work with your pelvic bones. Therefore chiropractic may help you quite a bit. As with all of my answers if you find a competent chiropractor you will have much more success. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help my son with his posture?

    A chiropractor most definitely would help your son with posture issues. Find a chiropractor in your area with a good reputation and he should be able to address the issues fairly easy with adjustments and at home stretches. Following those instructions is very important because with your son only being seven years old his growth plates are open until he’s roughly 18 so he has plenty of time to help change many issues. READ MORE

  • I was diagnosed with gout. Can a chiropractor help me manage the pain?

    More than likely, gout is an issue with your diet and you will need medicine to help you with it. READ MORE

  • Is slipping of a rib common with age?

    Hey person at any age can have a rib out which can be very painful and make taking a deep breath difficult and painful as well. Simply saying and older person is more common to have a rib issue is not accurate. There are many variables that would affect his bone density, general health and activity level are some of them. I would find a well respected chiropractor in your area and have it checked out. READ MORE
