In our office, the most common complaint we have is related to pains in the back and/or neck area. These may be sports-related, work-related, as a result of an auto accident or of a non-specific origin.

The nervous system is many times affected by spinal problems and these symptoms include headaches, sciatica (numbness or tingling in the legs), burning sensations (in the arms or legs); even bowel and urinary problems.

The benefits of chiropractic care range from eliminating or reducing these symptoms to improved circulatory system, increased immune system function and muscular strength and tone. From the very young to the very old, our patients are guaranteed that we will treat them with the respect and integrity they deserve.

Once the problem has been relieved, it is important to prevent similar problems arising in the future. Many patients learn how their daily activities can affect their body. We teach our patients to LISTEN to the signals their body sends and to not automatically reach for the medicine cabinet. In over 100 years of Chiropractic, NO ONE has been diagnosed as being aspirin deficient! We may also recommend braces or supports from the specific needs or our patients.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Because we are trained as Chiropractic Physicians, we emphasize the importance of a healthy "wellness" lifestyle. Wellness is the conscious effort to take care of our bodies with proper diet, exercise and listening to the symptoms and signals our bodies send us. As such, we may recommend dietary changes, vitamin supplements and guide those patients seeking weight-training or fitness with the information needed to make their bodies function better. Chiropractic care has become appealing to those health-conscious individuals who take responsibility for their own health. Chiropractic treatment of the back, neck, extremities, and joints has become more accepted because of research but more so because of the results our patients experience! We are not licensed to prescribe drugs or perform surgery. We have helped thousands of people without the risk of "side effects" and will continue to do our best to help your body function naturally.

WHAT NOT TO EXPECT:

We only treat those patients we sincerely think we can help. If you have had an unfortunate experience with another Chiropractor related to “pre-payments” or “contracts”, we promise that won’t happen in our clinic! We have lived and worked in this community for over 30 years and we are proud to stand by the simple but effective motto that we treat our patients exactly how we would want to be treated. We will always do our best to provide you with the appropriate level of care based on your specific needs.

In the majority of cases, patients receiving care in our office will notice immediate improvement! But when you have experienced problems over time, it is fair to say that the “Road Back to Health” may not be entirely free of obstacles. It often takes time – days, weeks and even months depending upon the extent of symptoms and condition of the spine. During treatment, changes in pain, soreness and discomfort may be experienced during the healing process. These possibilities are all part of the body’s process of healing, recovery and eventual restoration of lost health. PAIN (or lack there of) is NOT always the indicator of whether your body is healing properly. Chiropractic helps expedite the body’s healing process and overall health is enhanced when the nervous system is functioning normally!
