My Answers

How long do chiropractic hip adjustments last?
This varies for each patient. Depending upon how long your problem has been present, you often need repeated adjustments before your problem resolves. Ask your doctor for tips on what you can do at home to help maintain correction and relief. READ MORE
What is the best sleeping position?
Typically, a sleeping position on your back or side with a pillow underneath the knees or between the knees is best. However, we often find that your body naturally finds comfortable positions while asleep and research has not show that sleeping position closely correlates with pain levels. READ MORE
Can chiropractors straighten my spine?
Yes, definitely! Chiropractors are the only professionals with years of specific training on doing exactly that. Every time you receive a spinal adjustment, a bone that was restricted in motion can move again which helps your spine to be aligned or straightened. These small changes often lead to bigger postural changes over time. Make sure you convey your goals to your chiropractor so they know what you want to improve. That way they can work with you to achieve your goals and help you to understand if your spinal curvatures contribute to your symptoms or not. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor adjust a child's rib pain?
Yes, they sure can! First, the chiropractor will complete a thorough exam. Then, they are the best fit for the job if your child's rib is subluxated. Subluxated is the fancy word for "out of place." READ MORE
How do I strengthen my back scoliosis?
With scoliosis, you strengthen your back similarly to everyone else. However, a chiropractor could help you decide which moves are important to modify or may worsen your curve. They can also help you to maintain or improve your current curvature, depending on your case. It is important to work in all planes of motion, so don't just focus on forward and backward motions. Add in rotation and lateral bending too. Start with body weight exercises, as they are the most safe. Go slow so you don't get too sore. I highly recommend getting an exam from a chiropractor for more information, as it depends on your unique case. READ MORE

What causes a stiff neck all of a sudden?
A lot of factors contribute to a stiff neck. Oftentimes, your pain and stiffness (or any symptoms) are the last sign of something that has been going on for awhile. It can be as simple as bones being out of alignment in your neck that make you muscles work harder just to move your head. It can also be very serious. I highly recommend finding a chiropractor to get an exam done. If they need to refer you out for further work up, they will! You could have better mobility after just one visit! READ MORE

It depends on the cause of the pain, so it is important to get checked by a doctor. Chiropractic adjustments often provide instant relief of neck pain!

What happens if you let a herniated disc go untreated?
Hello! I'm so glad you asked this important question. Herniated discs themselves tend to heal over time, even though they often come with excruciating pain. However, you may have a bulging disc which is much more common and will not resolve on its own. The important thing to note in either case is that the disc is likely putting pressure on your nerves or spinal cord. If you have tingling, numbness, business, shooting pain, muscle cramps, weakness, heavy feeling in the leg, hot or cold temperature sensation changes or lack of touch sensation, you are already experiencing nerve damage. It is VERY important to get your nervous system health checked when you have disc problems or any of these symptoms. READ MORE
Can stretching alleviate your spinal pain?
I recommend stretching in each direction every day! However, typically, stretching alone will not permanently relieve spinal pain. It would be ideal to find a chiropractor who can do an exam and perform any necessary treatment to the CAUSE of the pain. The cause could be bone related, muscle, nerve, fascial, visceral, and more. It is important to get your spine checked by a chiropractor to make sure nothing more serious is going on. READ MORE
Can you see a chiropractor after cervical fusion?
Hi there! Yes, you can see a chiropractor after a cervical fusion surgery. The chiropractor can do manual therapy on your muscles in you cervical region, but they will not adjust you in that area, as you are fused. The good news is you have several other regions in your spine that can still be adjusted, and you would likely benefit from those treatments. I highly recommend seeing a doctor with experience treating people who have had cervical fusion. Thanks! READ MORE
