Can I see a chiropractor while breastfeeding?
yes, you absolutely can receive chiropractic care while breastfeeding. Just be mindful of the tenderness that you might feel while lying face down. I would suggest having recently fed your sweet baby or pump just prior to your treatment to help with your comfort. READ MORE
How often should a pregnant woman go to the chiropractor?
Hi there, it depends on if you have symptoms requiring Chiropractic care, the severity of them, and how far along you are in your pregnancy. I would be mindful of the hormone changes, ie. Relaxin which helps relax the ligaments and smooth muscles in the pelvic region. It peaks during 8-12 weeks. You can feel different and a bit unstable in your joints which is normal. That doesn't necessarily mean that you are subluxated which is what Chiropractors correct. READ MORE
Can you go to the chiropractor in your first trimester?
Yes, you can receive Chiropractic care in your first trimester but make sure your Chiropractic physician is educated on caring for pregnant patients. READ MORE
How soon can I see a chiropractor after my car accident?

Is it safe to have a back massage while pregnant?

Yes, you absolutely can get Chiropractic care after giving birth. READ MORE
Why is my lower back pain worse in the morning?
Hi there. Without seeing your x-rays of your low back it is hard to say. I have experience with patients having worse pain in their low back upon arising, then after a hot shower and some daily activity, it seems to feel somewhat better. Oftentimes I see some degree of DJD -degenerative joint disease, aka "wear and tear disease". It is a form of Osteoarthritis where the cartilage within the joints begin to break down and the underlying bone begins to change. Research that and the supplements to take for that, the best time to take them, with or without food. READ MORE
What does a misaligned spine look like?
Without getting too wordy, you might want to google that for the pictures. A spinal subluxatation is where a bone is out of position compared to the one above and the one below it. READ MORE
How can I adjust my wrists myself?
You DO NOT want to do that. If you take the joints beyond their para-physiological range of motion habitually, you can damage the ligaments which hold the joints together resulting in unstable joints. Possibly consider taking Chelated Manganese to help with ligament laxity. READ MORE
Do chiropractors really move bones?
yes. READ MORE
Knee pain?
You might go see your chiropractor or an orthopedic dr and have x-rays taken to evaluate the knee joint. In my humble opinion, a surgeon's job is to possibly do surgery, so I would start with a conservative evaluation first. READ MORE
How should I sleep with a pulled leg muscle?
Can you be more specific as to the location of the pulled muscle, thigh, calf, shin, or hamstrings? READ MORE
Can a neck adjustment help vertigo?
Very often it can, it depends on the cause of vertigo. I would have an experienced Chiropractor take neck x-rays and do an examination. and an evaluation. Do you have Meniere's disease? READ MORE
