Dr. Anthony Tortorella D.C.'s Expert Contributions
Can a chiropractor fix costochondritis?
Absolutely, although don't be surprised if the treatments are spent more at the posterior ribs as they articulate with the spine as opposed to the anterior rib articulations. READ MORE
What will happen if scoliosis is not treated?
At this point, your scoliosis is considered stable. Over time, it can gradually become slightly worse due to age/work related postural changes. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor really straighten your spine?
No. A chiropractor can, over time, align your spine to a more neutral postural position. The spine naturally has curves which are necessary for proper movement, function, and pain free living. READ MORE
How should I sleep to improve my posture?
Posture is something that requires active care. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor align your jaw?
It's less about aligning the jaw and more about balancing the muscle tone, movement pattern, and addressing concurrent neck dysfunction that help to create the TMJ disorder. READ MORE
How do I strengthen my back with scoliosis?
Realistically, you want to proceed under the care and guidance of a professional (chiropractor or PT) so that you address this appropriately. There is quite a bit of detail and nuance to managing your situation. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor help with headaches and dizziness?
Absolutely. Most chiropractors have had quite a bit of success in treating these issues. Keep in mind, an exam may show that further testing by another physician may be needed before treatment can begin in case there is a possible underlying condition causing your symptoms. READ MORE
Should I wear a bra to the chiropractor?
You should dress as you would dress any other day. READ MORE
How do you fix neck kyphosis?
This requires time and patience more than anything else. There are straight forward methods and techniques that work very well to re establish a normal cervical curve. There is more than one way to skin this cat so different practitioners will use different treatments. Find a highly recommended chiropractor in your area and get the process started. READ MORE
How long does it take for sciatica to go away?
It depends on a number of variables. The only thing I can say is that it will be much faster with treatment than trying to wait it out. READ MORE
What treatments are used for pediatric chiropractors?
Pediatric chiropractic is often times very different than chiropractic treatments for adults. Because this is a sports related injury, these treatments will be more in line with what you would consider for adult patients, although much lighter and gentler with a quicker recovery. READ MORE
Is it necessary to see a chiropractor 3 times a week?
It depends on what is going on. If you have an acute injury, than this is a very normal initial treatment schedule. READ MORE

Absolutely. READ MORE
How do you prepare a 12 year old for the chiropractor?
Most importantly, find a chiropractor that is experienced and comfortable with children. The doctor and office staff should have a simple and calming explanation as to what will happen during her visit. READ MORE
Can pregnant women go see a chiropractor?
Absolutely! Chiropractic can be incredibly helpful during pregnancy. The treatments will likely be more gentle and specific for the point in your pregnancy that you are in. Personally, I worked on my wife throughout her pregnancy, including during labor (at her request, of course)! READ MORE
Is a chiropractic adjustment a good option for chronic headaches?
Chiropractic can be a very effective treatment option for chronic headaches. READ MORE
Is chiropractic adjustment effective for sciatica?
Manipulation along with soft tissue/muscle work is generally very effective for sciatica. READ MORE
Is chiropractic treatment effective for neck pain?
Absolutely!!! Neck pain, along with lower back pain, are what chiropractors deal with most often. Studies show that chiropractors also achieve the best results with these issues versus other treatment options. READ MORE
Is it ok to feel bad after first chiropractic adjustment?
That is not uncommon, although it is not the case in the majority of visits. It also depends on what treatment was provided and the underlying injury. READ MORE
Does chiropractic treatment really work for kids?
In my experience both in practice and with my 4 year old son, chiropractic can absolutely be beneficial for kids. The treatments are much different, as compared to treatments for adults, in that it is much softer and less dynamic while still being effective. READ MORE
