Dr. Jacob Tucker, DC's Expert Contributions
  • Is chiropractic treatment safe for children?

    Simple answer: yes. We care for patients as young as newborns without any harmful side effects. To elaborate, when a patient of any age is properly evaluated by an appropriately trained doctor of chiropractic, there is so little risk of adverse reaction to chiropractic care, that malpractice insurance is cheaper for a chiropractor than car insurance. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • How often should my daughter go to the chiropractor?

    As often as her chiropractor recommends, based off objective findings. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Does chiropractic care release toxins?

    Great question. The adjustment itself does not inherently release toxins, however, the process of having a joint adjusted creates an effect similar to that of working out in which lactic acid can create some soreness. This soreness, if not explained properly can lead some to believe that the adjustment released toxins, which would be an inaccurate description. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • What can cause extreme exhaustion?

    This is a common problem we see in our office, oftentimes coming from a condition in the nervous system called sympathetic dominance. By addressing the causes of this condition, we often see patients energy levels improve. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Is chiropractic treatment effective for son's back pain?

    I would highly recommend an exam. If we can identify the cause of the back pain, it is highly likely that we will be able to help him. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Is a chiropractor good for scoliosis?

    Some chiropractors can help manage scoliosis cases, others may not be able to do much more than help manage symptoms. Our clinic has helped many patients successfully reduce the severity of their scoliosis. For more information about how chiropractic can help with scoliosis, visit www.clear-institute.org. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Can chiropractors help with hip pain?

    Most chiropractors are capable of identifying the cause of hip pain. Depending on the extent of the injury, chiropractic can be your best option. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • How many chiropractor visits do I need for neck pain?

    That would be determined by the physical exam and the extent of the injury. The neck pain could resolve within a visit or two, but because of the amount of force involved in any car accident, it usually takes several months of care in order to get someone back to pre-injury health status. Because we are looking for the cause of the neck pain and addressing that specifically, it is a difficult question to answer with limited information. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Is chiropractic treatment good for lower back pain?

    Chiropractors are trained to determine the cause of your pain and develop a plan for correction. If you are also dealing with a vitamin D deficiency, having a chiropractor who is trained in nutrition would help you to balance that as well. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Should a chiropractor crack your neck?

    Because the spine is so interconnected, neck adjustments are often needed in order to fully address the cause of back pain. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of misinformation put out by the American Medical Association over the years about chiropractic, including that a neck adjustment can be harmful. The research is very clear, however: adjustments, when performed by a well-trained chiropractor, are safe and effective when delivered form the purpose of reducing vertebral subluxation. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Should I see a chiropractor or massage therapist first?

    Either option is great. A chiropractor is a state licensed physician specializing in correction of spinal misalignments and neurological deficits (subluxation) and will perform a thorough exam before providing any services. A massage therapist, on the other hand, is certified by the state to perform massage therapy to help deal with muscular issues. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • What can be the cause of my lower back pain?

    There are a lot of things that could cause back pain, but yours would depend on your specific history. I would recommend scheduling a consult to discuss your case more specifically. In general, I look to the nervous system first, because all it takes is the weight of a dime of pressure on the nerve roots to disrupt the nerve signal by as much as 60%. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor fix a bulging disc?

    Discs are designed to last about 150 years without issues if we take care of them properly. 3 major factors can affect the health of a disc: inflammation, misalignment, and the amount of time one or both of those factors have been present. I would recommend a thorough examination by a chiropractor to confirm whether it is a disc issue, with the proper imaging to support the diagnosis. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Could posture cause lower back pain in children?

    Absolutely, this could be exactly what is causing his pain. The posture you are seeing is called a hyperkyphosis, usually in the upper thoracic spine, and sometimes extending into the cervical spine in the neck. If the posture has started to affect the spine, it may already be affecting his neurological function. I would recommend a consultation with a trusted chiropractor as this may indicate early onset of scoliosis, which may be prevented if caught early enough. Dr. Jake Tucker READ MORE

  • Is my lower back pain related to my sciatic nerve?

    It could be, however there is almost no way to tell definitively without an appropriate evaluation. READ MORE

  • How long does chiropractic treatment take to work for kids?

    That is an excellent question. The answer is complicated, but we usually see improved sleep happen within the first few visits when there is subluxation in the upper cervical spine. READ MORE

  • Can I work out after a chiropractic adjustment?

    This is a question I wish more patients would ask. The answer depends entirely on the extent of the damage and misalignment in your spine. There may be certain movements you will need to avoid entirely until the tissues around the spine begin to heal. Always listen to your body, and if you start hurting during a specific movement, stop. Inform your doctor and discuss options and alternatives for specific exercises. All of my patients receive home exercise prescriptions to accelerate the healing process. READ MORE

  • How do you sleep after a chiropractic adjustment?

    Usually really well, however, because the adjustment affects so many different systems of the body, you may actually feel more awake and alert afterward. READ MORE

  • Should I go to a chiropractor for a pinched nerve?

    Short answer: yes. Any time you have pain or discomfort, it is a good idea to have this professionally evaluated. Chiropractics is one of the safest and most cost-effective ways to address your health. READ MORE

  • What do you wear to a chiropractor appointment?

    Nope, there is not a dress code, although if you have long hair or a high collared shirt, your chiropractor may be required to work around similar types of obstacles. READ MORE
