  • Food as Medicine?

    Before modern medicine, humans have had to rely on nature to stay healthy and treat disease.  We have had to eat foods that benefit us, and avoid foods that hurt us.  It has been increasingly difficult to do this in our modern, fast-food, convenience-food world.  We have an abundant supply of...

  • Headaches

    There are many causes of headaches. Some are stress-related, others may be due to allergies. They may be vascular in nature, or due to organ dysfunction. Dehydration could also be the cause. To make things even more confusing, it could be a combination of these or something different altogether....

  • What Is Detox?

    What is detox? Is it necessary? Is it a good idea? What is the goal? Is it a scam? Does it work?

    That depends on the type of tear. Some tears heal with therapy, others will not heal on their own. Many times, but not all the time, meniscus tears can only be repaired surgically. If you think you have a torn meniscus, you should seek treatment from a provider who will take a detailed history and do a thorough examination. READ MORE

    It depends on the reason for the tendonitis. Most chiropractors will be able to handle a case of tendinitis (yes, it can be either tendonitis or tendinitis) if it stems from improper joint motion or a muscle imbalance. They should take a detailed history and do a thorough examination. They should give you exercises that you can do at home also. READ MORE

  • What happens if tendonitis goes untreated?

    Typically if tendonitis goes untreated it tends to get worse. Sometimes it will self-resolve, but the underlying reason why you have tendonitis in the first place should not be neglected.

    This is something that takes a lot of training and practice. Chiropractors go through many years of school and training to do what they do. I would not recommend trying this on your own. As they say... don't try this at home! READ MORE

    There are many reasons for shoulder pain. Is it the right shoulder, the left shoulder, the front of the shoulder, or the back of the shoulder? These are just some of the questions that need to be answered. It could be musculoskeletal in nature, but it also could be referred pain from you heart, liver, or gallbladder.

  • What is better for sciatica acupuncture or chiropractor?

    First of all, I'm a chiropractor, so my opinion is biased. If you think your sciatic is caused by an energy imbalance in your meridian system, go with the acupuncture. If you think the problem is musculoskeletal in nature go to the chiropractor. If you think it's a little of both, go to a chiropractor that does acupuncture or meridian therapy (I do meridian therapy in my office). READ MORE

  • How do you crack your lower back like a chiropractor?

    First of all, you have to get a Bachelor's Degree. Then, you can apply to a chiropractic college. Then you have to get through 10 trimesters of school (about 5 academic years, but you could complete it is as little as 3 years if you really apply yourself). You have to pass 4 to 6 national board examinations, apply for a licence in the state that you want to practice in, obtain malpractice insurance. After that, you should be good to go. READ MORE

    The biggest benefit to chiropractic is preventative. The other benefit to seeing a chiropractor is that most chiropractors will ask a lot of questions and do an examination to discover the underlying cause of the conditions that they see in the office. Knowing the underlying cause of a condition will lead to better management of the condition. Chiropractors do not use drugs or surgery to treat those conditions. Other benefits may include better joint function, less stress, and a healthier lifestyle. READ MORE
