    You should see a chiropractor if they specialize in myofascial work, which is a type of muscle work. Traditional chiropractic may help. Chances are you have a muscle imbalance going on which is causing the pain all your hamstrings or you have a weak core. You may have Lower cross syndrome. READ MORE

  • How is back soreness treated?

    Your pain is most likely due to tight muscles of your spine and back. Or it could be as serious as a disc bulge. When you lay in a bed your body sinks into the mattress which causes these muscles to be longer. When you elongate a tight muscle it may cause pain. When you lie on the floor you’re supporting these muscles and your spine stays straight. You should look into getting myofascial release, stretching program, chiropractic care. READ MORE

  • I have neck pain that only occurs when I lie down. What could be the reason?

    From the information you’re giving your neck pain is probably due to a forward head carriage. A forward head carriage is when the head is off the center axis and is in front of the shoulders. This puts extra stress on the muscles of the neck and cause misalignment of the cervical spinal bones. When you have a forward head carriage and lie on your back, you stretch the muscles pulling the head forward causing the joints of the back of your spine to “jam.” This is called facet imbrication. So your pain is either due to muscles being tight or facet imbrication. This is very common with people who sit at a computer workstation or drive for a living. You could also have a bulging disc. Also caused by the muscle tightness. How I would treat this is through myofascial release, active release technique, and chiropractic manipulation. You need to loosen the muscles up by stretching, hot shower, nutrition, Heat/ice, or traction. READ MORE

  • My father is suffering from severe back pain. Can it be treated with manual adjustment of the spine?

    It all depends on what the cause of the back pain is. I don't like to do just manipulation on the spine. I focus on muscle work such as myofascial release and deep tissue massage. Let me know if he would like to come in. READ MORE
