The cause of back pain vary widely from person to person. Through the examination of your back we will be able to determine the cause of your pain and provide you with treatment that will address what is causing your back pain.
Neck Pain
Stiffness and pain can be caused by spinal subluxation. Chiropractors are trained specifically to treat this condition. Our doctors will do an examination to determine if chiropractic care is best for you.
Headaches or Migraines
Our doctors locate spinal bones and muscles that aren’t supporting your head properly. This unsteady support can have painful effects on nerves, muscles and even blood flow to the head. If your headaches are due to spinal bone misalignments. Our chiropractors can gently realign them. If your headaches are due more to muscle tension, our state licensed and certified massage therapists will provide great relief.
Disc Problems
Chiropractors can determine the location and cause of the disc problem through an evaluative process. From there they can take effective, conservative measures to many times fix the problem and avoid surgical intervention. Most disc problems can be avoided with proper care from a preventative approach
Kids Chiropractic
Chiropractic care with kids is a gentle and simple way to optimize your child's development and health. Problems such as ear infections, colic, poor sleep, bed wetting and general physical development to name a few.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know I need a chiropractor?
Many people base this on how they feel but in most cases people can see alignment problems prior to this by noticing head tilt, uneven shoulders and/or hips, different wear on shoes, pants wearing on one side versus the other, muscle imbalances, foot and knee pain and abnormal gait just to name a few. The key is to address alignment issues prior to pain setting in to get the best results.
How long does it take to get better?
Most people feel immediate relief whether it is less pain and discomfort or better movement or both. To attain full pain relief most patients find that within a week or two their problems are nearly fully resolved. That time is greatly dictated by the significance of injury and the time in which the underlying problem has been there.
Will the doctor know if I need another type of care?
Our doctors are thoroughly trained to identify situations that need additional attention by other providers and we have a wide network of other healthcare professionals that we can lean on for advice and/or referrals to get you in the right place.
Once I go to a chiropractor do I always have to go back?
The short answer is NO! You are always in charge of your care. If you are wanting to solve a specific problem that has been there for a period of time you may have to do a little more work. If you are wanting to simply keep your symptoms at bay with periodic visits when things are uncomfortable then you can do that too. Our goal is that we help you with YOUR goals and not ours. That is why we have built such a strong reputation and practice over the years. We listen to you.
Can chiropractic help kids?
Yes. Chiropractic has been found to aid children with ear infections, digestive problems, sleep issues, bed-wetting, torticollis, general immune system function and well-being among many other specific things.
Will I be given things to do at home?
Home care is critical to any patient's recovery. Every individual will be given specific exercises to either perform in or out of the clinic to aid in their quick recovery. Our goal is to help you help yourself and get better quickly.
