Is there something wrong with my joints?
Interestingly enough a patient just came in with the exact symptoms. I told him to brace during activity and ice it afterwards. Yes, there is something wrong but probably minimal. He needed a knee adjustment and some deep soft tissue work. Follow up with your chiropractor, primary or ortho if symptoms persist or worsen. READ MORE
Can getting your neck adjusted help with headaches?
Of course! That's one of the symptoms most helped by chiropractors every day! READ MORE
Does getting your neck adjusted release toxins?
No, but getting your neck adjusted restores restricted energy flowing through the nerves to the organs tissues, and cells of the body. Simplified, our nervous system functions better with chiropractic care. Then the body‘s ability to detox can work more efficiently. Jesus loves you and so does Dr. Jim! READ MORE
Is heat or cold better for frozen shoulder?
If you are sure it is a frozen shoulder then heat is the best ! Jesus loves you and so does Dr Jim ! READ MORE
Is manipulation good for frozen shoulder?
Emphatic yes! The truth is many frozen shoulders will not fully recover without the cervical spine being adjusted (if the cervicals are misaligned). READ MORE
How to relieve back pain?
The greatest one word for years of chronic LBP is DECOMPRESSION (non-surgical of course!). Look for a chiropractor with DRX9000. A combination of that machine and great chiropractic adjustment works every time! READ MORE
What are the symptoms of a misaligned pelvis?
Mostly lower back and buttocks pain. A sciatic issue could result if left untreated. Simply call your local chiropractor as this is very common. Merry Christmas! Jesus loves you! Stay safe and healthy! Dr Jim ! READ MORE
What happens when a chiropractor adjusts your back?
When a chiropractor makes an adjustment on the human spine many good things happen. The release of nitrogen gas from the joint capsule frees up the joint motion. This increased joint motion allows for the nerves to be uncompressed thus restoring the full potential of the body‘s natural ability to heal. Energy then flows more freely from the brain cell through the spine and nerves to the body and back to the brain enhancing the communication potential of your vital life force. Jesus loves you and so does Dr Jim ! READ MORE
How do you know if your body is aligned?
Hi, I am Dr. James! I myself am a chiropractor and do not know if my body is in alignment or out of alignment unless they lay down on the table and get checked by another chiropractor. Which I do regularly! Jesus loves you and so does Dr. Jim! READ MORE
How can I prevent my scoliosis from getting worse?
See your local chiropractor regularly! Check google reviews if you don't have one! READ MORE
What is the clicking thing chiropractors use?
It is actually called an Activator adjusting instrument! It is associated with what we as chiropractors refer to as “non-crack” chiropractic. It very gently and safely moves vertebrae into alignment. I use it for infants, toddlers, and patients who don’t like the sound of the joints “cracking,” which is really a release of nitrogen gas from the joint capsule. Jesus loves you and so does Dr. Jim! READ MORE
How can you tell if your spine is out of alignment?
Hi, this is Dr James Cassillo! I am a chiropractor. I do not know if I am out of alignment unless I lay down on the table and get checked by a chiropractor. Most people are walking around thinking that they are fine, but their spines are slightly misaligned interfering with their ability to be 100% of their potential. Of course, if you fall off the ladder or down the stairs, it’s a different story! Then you know you’re probably out of place. Otherwise, get your spine checked today! Jesus loves you and so does Dr Jim! READ MORE
Does stretching help shoulder impingement?
Hi! Yes, definitely as long as cervical involvement is ruled out. Be sure to be checked out by a good chiropractor! Jesus loves you and so does Dr. Jim! READ MORE
Can sleeping on your side cause shoulder impingement?
Side sleeping can definitely aggravate a weak or previously injured shoulder. It may be possible but difficult for sleeping on ones side to actually cause the impingement. However, sleeping on your arm either directly or under a pillow could definitely cause shoulder/rotator cuff syndromes. Call your local chiropractor and try to sleep on your back with a small pillow. Jesus loves you and so does Dr Jim ! READ MORE
How often should you get a chiropractic adjustment after a car accident?
Normally 3x/week for 2 months then reexam READ MORE
Is chiropractic neck manipulation safe?
A resounding yes! As long as proper case history and exam preceded your neck adjustment. Dr. Jim READ MORE
What is the treatment for a herniated disc?
That all depends. Every patient is different. Herniated discs can be treated by MD’s with drugs or surgery. As chiropractors we like to try a natural approach first. There are gentle treatments for patients in a lot of pain. The stronger treatments called spinal adjustments are if you are only in moderate pain. There are also lumbar decompression machines to help with herniated discs. I prefer the DRX 9000 that I have in my office. Chiropractors offer the safest techniques to treat the cause of patient’s spinal problems, including herniated discs. Dr. Jim READ MORE
