A Chiropractor will do a complete medical history, perform a physical exam and may use diagnostic imaging to determine if treatment is appropriate for your condition.

We will clearly and in detail explain our findings to you so that you can make the best informed decision about your care.

The most common condition that Chiropractors treat is lower back pain. In addition, we see patients with headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain or numbness, hip pain, thigh pain, leg pain and foot pain.

Since nearly all medications are contraindicated during pregnancy, Chiropractic care is an excellent choice. We regularly see pregnant patients who are experiencing back pain due the added stress on the spine.

Pain that radiates from the lower back down through the buttocks and sometime into the thigh and leg is called Sciatica. This condition is most often caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve where it exits between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. This is a common condition we treat in our office.

Every one of our patients are given a specific exercise program that compliments their Chiropractic care. We design your exercises specifically to address the imbalance in your spine.

Most patients will experience a reduction in pain in addition to a feeling of increased flexibility.

All Chiropractors must complete 4 years of undergraduate studies before then completing over 5000 hours of Chiropractic studies that includes a Clinic proficiency. In addition, all Chiropractors must pass multiple National Exams and State Law Exams before obtaining a License to practice Chiropractic. After obtaining a License to practice, Chiropractors are required to take Continuing Education courses to maintain their license in good standing each year.

Education is one of the major keys to successful Chiropractic care. We provide a special 30 minute complementary consultation that addresses your activities of daily living so that you don't undo what we care correcting in our office. This special consultation evaluates you activities at work and at home.

As with all of health care, every patent is different. Some patients need only a short course of care, while some require a longer period of care to achieve their highest health potential. We will only recommend what you truly need to meet your health goals. We are here for you.

Of course not. Each patient we help has their own specific problem, with their own specific body, and their own specific treatment plan. We work with babies, children, moms, golfers, athletes, and seniors. Each patient’s plan is tailored to their unique physique and needs.
