  • Can shoulder pain resolve itself?

    You can try using an ice pack on it for 20 minutes each hour. Make sure you have a paper towel or tee shirt between your skin and the ice pack. If the pain persists for over a week, get yourself checked out by either your Primary Care physician or a Chiropractor. READ MORE

  • What are the methods chiropractors use when treating back pain?

    First, a Chiropractor wants to be specific in knowing exactly which segments of your Spine and pelvis are stuck out of alignment. This information is obtained through a through exam and x-rays. Then the Chiropractor usually using Chiropractic Adjustments to free up the joint that is stuck out of alignment. These Adjustments are done either by hand or with a Chiropractic Adjustment Instrument. Also, traction, electric stimulation, ultrasound and muscle relaxation work and exercises can be used too. READ MORE

  • How do you sleep after a chiropractic adjustment?

    Typically after a Chiropractic adjustment, people sleep very soundly. This is thought to be the body’s energies going towards healing as Nerve flow is improved in the Nervous System. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help with muscle pain?

    Yes by freeing up the Spine where the muscles tendons attach. Also, through therapies like Electrical Muscle Stimulation and Ultrasound. READ MORE

  • How long after a chiropractic adjustment do you feel better?

    It depends on if your pain is Acute (recent) or Chronic (been present for a long time). If the pain is recent, it may take a number of treatments to start to feel better. Although, usually patients do feel improved with Chiropractic Care within the first several weeks. I use a Chiropractic instrument to do the Adjustment on many of my patients. There is less post-treatment soreness, as it doesn’t cause any additional temporary inflammation. Whereas a manual (by hand) adjustment can increase inflammation initially. READ MORE

  • Can you push a herniated disc back into place?

    I do both traction and specific Chiropractic adjustments and get great results for patients suffering from a herniated disc. Flexion Distraction, which is a Chiropractic technique that uses a specific table, works well for this problem, naturally “pushing” the herniated disc back where it belongs. This decreases pain and improves function for patients. READ MORE

  • When I move my neck I hear a cracking sound. Is it okay?

    That is a sign of Spinal joint instability. I recommend you get checked out by a good Chiropractic Doctor. READ MORE

  • Lumbar injections

    I would first let the Health Care provider know this who gave you the back injections. See what they say. In general though, injections have different effects on people. Some people have excellent results with longer term results. While others don’t receive any relief. I would recommend seeing a Chiropractor if you haven’t already. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor damage your spine?

    Chiropractic adjustments are exceedingly safe. In my 30 years of busy practice giving hundreds of thousands of Chiropractic adjustments, I have never injured a patient. A key factor for this safety record is my Clinic also does a comprehensive Health history of our patients. Therefore, we “weed out” those patients that Chiropractic adjustments would be contradicted to do on them. People with certain collagen diseases like Ehler Danlos syndrome, or Spinal Fusion surgery; are examples of patients that Adjustments are contraindicated for. Also, there are extremely gentle adjustments that Chiropractors do using adjusting instruments on patients with a lot of arthritis or osteoporosis that are safe and effective. READ MORE

  • Why do my back hurts worse after the chiropractor?

    No it is not normal to hurt more after a Chiropractic Adjustment. In my experience, this is very unusual. Patients usually always feel better with back pain after a Chiropractic Adjustment. READ MORE

  • Can you correct years of bad posture?

    Many times, yes with a combination of stretches, exercises and Chiropractic treatments. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help with dislocated rib?

    I would recommend that you see a Orthopedic Physician first for a dislocated rib. If the rib is slightly misaligned (subluxation), then a Chiropractor could help. Otherwise, start with the Orthopedist. READ MORE

  • Whats wrong with my back?

    The fact that your back pain changes with positional changes, suggests that you are possibly suffering from a mechanical joint spinal problem. This type of problem usually responds quickly to Chiropractic adjustments. READ MORE

  • Can the chronic hip pain be fixed?

    It all depends on the cause of the hip pain. If it is due to simple misalignment of your pelvis, then yes it can get better with Chiropractic treatment. If though the x-ray of your hip shows bone on bone contact, then Orthopedic Surgery would most likely be the best option. READ MORE

  • Is chiropractic adjustment long-lasting?

    It depends on the severity of the Spinal condition. Also, is there arthritis in the spinal joint? Is the lower back pain (LBP) new (acute), or long lasting (chronic)? Generally speaking, when the onset of LBP recent (acute), Chiropractic adjustment works very well and quickly for LBP. Chronic LBP, responds well too to Chiropractic treatment, but it takes longer that achieve long lasting results. READ MORE
