I am suffering from neck and shoulder pain since I was a child. What should I do?
Chiropractic tends to be the most conservative approach to back and neck pain. I would find a chiropractor you are comfortable with and have them check everything out. More than likely they will need to take some X-rays to see how your spine is aligned. Even the American Medical Association recommends to its medical doctors to send their patients to chiropractors for back and neck pain first. READ MORE
How is a chiropractor different from a physical therapist?
Chiropractors will address joint mobility issues and identify potential muscle issues. Physical therapist will focus on identifying the correct muscles with problems and help strengthen those issues amongst other things. As a chiropractor, I often will refer my patients to physical therapist. READ MORE
I have swelling on my lower back that has come up all of a sudden. Should I be worried?
I would doubt you would need to be worried about it. Simply get checked out by your medical doctor or a competent chiropractor, but generally swelling is a response to injury of some sort. READ MORE
My husband has a bone growth in his ankle. What should we do?
More than likely he needs an osteopath. READ MORE
I have a frozen shoulder. What should I do?
Frozen shoulder generally will resolve by itself in 18 months. That is if it’s truly frozen shoulder. You can have it worked through with physical therapy or by your chiropractor. Again it’s generally self-limiting but you need to be actively trying to work through your own range of motions READ MORE
I have lipoma under my arms. Can a chiropractor help?
Chiropractic will not remove a lipoma but can help with any pain associated with it. However lipomas generally don’t come with pain other than irritation of the skin in the area around it. Have a great day! READ MORE
