Why does my pelvis crack?
Without an X-ray and a proper evaluation, it is difficult to be absolutely certain what is causing a cracking sound. Often the sound is crepitus, a noise or crack due to tension, or rubbing between bone & cartilage. Chiropractic assessment would be a cost effective way to verify if your symptom is clinically insignificant. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor straighten your spine?
It depends. There are a hundred different techniques in Chiropractic. Some are good for straightening the spine. So your answer is yes, but you have to find the right Chiropractor for your goals. My approach is full range of motion, decrease pain, and overall health. I'm not concerned about straightness, as that is more of rehabilitation and physical therapy exercises. READ MORE
Is chiropractic care scientifically proven?
Did you know that aspirin was on the market for 75 years before scientists figured out how it works? When you turn on your TV, do you care about if science has proven how the satellite bounces waves to create a picture or do you just care that you just have a good picture? If you have an enlarge heart, do you care that it wasn't proven that cutting your heart smaller would be beneficial? Chiropractic care has withstood over a hundred years of negative criticism and still serves over 30 million Americans yearly. Hundreds of studies have verified spinal manipulation as an effective & safe treatment. Chiropractic has clinically proven it works. I treat animals and get excellent results. Also infants. That indicates it is not a placebo, but a procedure that works. READ MORE
What are the dangers of chiropractic care?
In my 35 years of practice, I never have seen a major problem due to a neck adjustment. While statistics point to one in a million may react to cervical manipulation, it isn't part of my reality. It is important to be thorough in the history and evaluation to determine if the patient is not a candidate for chiropractic care. Although any medical procedure may carry a risk, spinal manipulation is the least risk feasible. READ MORE

What is better a massage or chiropractor?
It's not what is better. It depends on what is causing the muscle pain. If the muscle pain is due to a tight or tense muscle, a simple massage may due the trick. If the pain is due to an injury or electrolyte deficiency, then chiropractic care might resolve the pain. Muscles are connected to joints and therefore should be of consideration. READ MORE
Do chiropractors treat muscle pain?
Yes, most definitely. Most people associate Chiropractic care with alignment and correct various joints of the body. Muscles often cross over a joint or connect one joint with another. Correcting joints help muscles too reset. Chiropractic care is good for pain, relaxing muscles, and releasing tension. Personally, I always check for muscle balance and muscle strength. There are many natural techniques in Chiropractic to ensure muscles are working 100%. READ MORE
Do chiropractors realign the spine?

Ensuring proper alignment is not only essential for athletes, but everyone benefits from having muscle & joint balance. READ MORE

How young is too young to see a chiropractor?
I treat newborns, so a 3 year old is not a problem. Of course, when treating infants & toddlers, a very gentle acupressure touch is indicated. Chiropractors have instruments that activate reflexes to make alignment corrections. Recently, I had a 3 year old girl present with pigeoned toed feet & the orthopedist recommended casting her or utilize leg braces for a year. In one treatment, I corrected the alignment in her hips and her feet turned out. READ MORE

Is it ok for a chiropractor to crack your spine?
The crack, pop you speak of, is just air - gas being released. There isn't any cracking of joints, ligaments, and tendons. Sometimes in the early morning when we get up and stretch, sometimes a popping sound is heard. Nothing fractured, it is just a release of air. READ MORE
When should you have your first chiropractic adjustment?
