  • What could be the cause for Upper back pain?

    Based on your symptoms it would appear that something is pressing or impinging on a thoracic nerve root.It would be advisable to get a thorough examination including an MRI if these symptoms persist for more than couple weeks or worsens.It could be a chiropractic problem where a vertebra is fixated out of an alignment and inflammatory processes have begun, or it could be something else. If the chiropractor suspects a more serious issue then you should be referred to an orthopedist/neurologist for evaluation. Dr. Steven I.

  • How long does it take to realign your spine?

    There are many factors involved in realigning your spine. How long has your spine been misaligned and to what degree?What activities do you do that influence your spinal alignment? What is your diet and exercise regime? What genetic factorsare involved? How is your day to day posture? How often do you sit/drive/ stay in one position for too long? Get the picture?  It's impossible to honestly answer your question.  To perform an adjustment it can take a millisecond or many minutes depending on the technique that the chiropractor uses. But at the very least the adjustment puts the misaligned vertebra in the proper position and increases mobility and flexibility in the patient's spine. The rest is up to you. Dr. Steven I.

  • How long does it take to realign your back?

    How long it takes to realign your spine depends on many factors. How long has it been out of alignment, what caused the misalignment, what part of the spine is out of alignment and to what degree. Other factors include the patients activity, genetic disposition, age, associated condition, and overall health.

  • What is the best chiropractic technique?

  • What is the popping sound during chiropractic adjustments?

    The popping sound made during a chiropractic adjustment is called crepitation. It is made when air or carbon dioxide is released or moved in the joint capsule that lines the vertebrae. When the adjustment is made and the vertebrae moves into a new position that sound can frequently be heard. It is perfectly safe. READ MORE

  • What happens to your spine during an adjustment?

    The purpose of the chiropractic adjustment is to remove pressure on the spinal nerve that is being impinged by a fixated or subluxated vertebra. The adjustment sets the vertebra into motion and reduces pressure in the spine. Depending on which area of the spine is being adjusted, this can have profound effects on the nervous system and the body as a whole. For instance, if the first vertebra in the spine is being adjusted, called the atlas, the flow of energy to the brain and through the spinal cord will be stimulated which affects the entire spine and the function of the nervous system. The goal is to maintain balance or homeostasis and a return to normal and optimal function. READ MORE

  • How do I loosen up my neck muscles?

    Motion is the key to keeping your muscles from getting too stiff and tight. Try to not have your head in one position for too long. Doing a simple range of motion exercises with your head will keep the neck muscles loose and flexible. Of course, your chiropractor can adjust your cervical spine which keeps the muscles from getting too tight and restricted. READ MORE

  • Should you massage a pulled muscle?

    Massaging a pulled muscle can definitely help relieve some of the pain. If there is swelling around the muscle fibers then you should use ice to reduce the inflammation. The massage should be light to moderate. Too much force could make the injury worse. If the muscle is in spasm then apply moist heat then ice. Try to avoid straining the pulled muscle until it is fully healed. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor fix dizziness?

    Along with headaches and fatigue, dizziness is a fairly common complaint that chiropractors see in their office.Depending on what is causing the dizziness, chiropractic can be a very effective treatment. It is a safe and conservative method of removing nerve interference and restoring homeostasis to a body that is out of balance. Often there is a vertebrae in the upper cervical spine that is out of alignment which may cause dizziness. A skilled chiropractic adjustment can fix the problem and often the dizziness will disappear.Of course a thorough examination and history should be performed prior to receiving any treatment.

  • Do chiropractors work on joints?

    Chiropractors work primarily on the spine. Part of each vertebrae is connected to the one above and below by joints. So, when the manipulation occurs it happens at this articulation or joint. In addition, most chiropractors are skilled in extremity adjusting so the joints of those bones can also be manipulated. Shoulders, knees, wrists, elbows are commonly treated by chiropractors. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help with leg weakness?

    Depending on the cause of the leg muscle weakness, it’s duration and severity, chiropractic may be able to strengthen any weak muscle. Chiropractors work with the spinal nerves that send and receive messages to the associated muscles and organs. By adjusting the spine, the particular muscle that is involved can improve in strength. In addition the chiropractor will give specific exercises to assist in the muscle rehabilitation. Since chiropractic is a safe and natural way to promote healing and wellness, it would be a no brainer to give it a try for a weak leg muscle. READ MORE

  • Middle knuckle prominence?

    When there is repeated trauma to a joint the body will send in bone matrix material as a protective measure. This will take the form of mineral and bony deposits in the joint, in your case the metacarpal or knuckle of your hand. Since the inflammatory process has subsided, you no longer have pain or stiffness. However, the bony prominence will remain. It remains to be seen if this prominence will eventually retract. Probably not. In the future, I would recommend getting a softer punching bag. Dr. Steven I.

  • What is the fastest way to heal a frozen shoulder?
