  • 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? All of these questions are legitimate and should be asked. I have seen many “detox” products that make claims that sound too good to be true. And most of the time, that is the case. So, how do we...

  • Can a chiropractor help a child with rheumatoid arthritis pain?

    Perhaps, depending on the nature and severity of the arthritis. A chiropractor should take a detailed history and do a thorough examination, including x-rays before recommending treatment. If you have had x-rays done in the last year, bring in the images and the report for your chiropractor to review. READ MORE

  • Will a chiropractor help my baby sleep?

    That is a good possibility. Your chiropractor should take a good history and do an examination to determine why your child is not sleeping well. There could be many reasons for this. READ MORE

  • Is it safe to let a chiropractor crack your neck?

    Chiropractors have more training in adjusting the neck than any other profession. While every medical procedure has its risks, chiropractic is among the safest there is. If you compare annual deaths, I would be more afraid of dying from aspirin, drowning in the bathtub, or getting struck by lightning. READ MORE

    No. In fact, if it is performed by a chiropractor on a regular basis, it may actually reduce your risk of arthritis. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor damage your neck?

    All medical procedures come with risks--chiropractic included. The risk is very small with chiropractic treatment. Your chiropractor should take a detailed history and do a thorough examination to rule out risk factors. I would not go to anyone other than a chiropractor, since they have more training than any other health care professional when it comes to manipulating the neck. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor fix a herniated disc?

    It is possible for a chiropractor to fix a herniated disc, but will need your help. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, your chiropractor may recommend exercises and nutritional supplements. Make sure your chiropractor takes a good history and performs a thorough examination, including MRIs if you haven't had them done to identify the herniated disc. Then your chiropractor can make a good diagnosis and come up with a proper treatment plan. Discs take a long time to heal, so it will be a long road. READ MORE

  • Is it bad to go to the chiropractor too often?

    How often is too often? Joking aside, frequent visits to the chiropractor are beneficial. I recommend monthly visits for maintenance (more often if you have musculoskeletal problems). It's like going to the dentist. How often is too often? Every 6 months is recommended for maintenance--you'll need more visits if you have dental problems. Again, a chiropractic visit once a month is a good maintenance program. READ MORE

  • Should I see a podiatrist or chiropractor?

    There are many possible reasons why you have foot pain. Depending on what the problem is, one may be more beneficial than the other. A chiropractor will most likely be less costly than a podiatrist. A good chiropractor will take a good history and perform an examination to identify the cause of your foot pain. If you need a podiatrist, your chiropractor can make that referral. READ MORE

    It is a great idea, assuming you don't have any health problems that would hurt you from such a treatment. Your chiropractor should take a thorough history and do a comprehensive examination to rule out any risk factors. READ MORE
