General Practitioners

• Plantar Fasciitis
  Running is a fantastic form of cardiovascular exercise that is enjoyed by many people, young and old. Whatever the goal or training schedule, many runners struggle with musculoskeletal complaints and from time to time, may require treatment for sports or running-related injuries. Common issues are plantar fasciitis, shin splints, iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome, and knee pain. The repetitive nature of running predisposes runners to a number of running injuries.
• Cryotherapy
  Physiotherapy is the “treatment of physical dysfunction or injury by the use of therapeutic exercise and the application of modalities, intended to restore or facilitate normal function and relieve pain.” Physiotherapy is a very important part of your chiropractic treatment and includes modalities such as home exercise instruction, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, moist heat, and cryotherapy.

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  “In our randomized, controlled trial, we compared the effectiveness of manual therapy, physical therapy, and continued care by a general practitioner in patients with nonspecific neck pain. The success rate at seven weeks was twice as high for the manual therapy group (68.3 percent) as for the continued care group (general practitioner). Manual therapy scored better than physical therapy on all outcome measures. Patients receiving manual therapy had fewer absences from work than patients receiving physical therapy or continued care, and manual therapy and physical therapy each resulted in statistically significant less analgesic use than continued care.” — Hoving et al (2002), Annals of Internal Medicine

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  A study from “Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association” found that chiropractic care is one of the most commonly used types of treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often due to repetitive motion of the hand and wrist which leads to microtraumas. Symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of strength in the hands. The major nerve affected by carpal tunnel syndrome is the median nerve. When the median nerve is irritated while passing through the bones and ligaments forming the carpal tunnel, the above described symptoms occur. Adjustments of the wrist can help to return the bones of the wrist to their proper position and reduce pressure on the median nerve. – Brunarksi, D., Kleinberg, B., & Wilkins, K, (2004), Intermittent axial wrist traction as a conservative treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome: a case series. Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association 48(3). 211-216

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Each person is different. Likewise, every condition is different. With our focus on results based care we customize each treatment plan for every unique patient. Your treatment plan will incorporate both care in the office and “homework.” Care in the office may include spinal manipulations or adjustments, stretching, muscle work as well as modalities like muscle stimulation, ultrasound, heat and cold. You may also receive instruction in home stretches, exercises and ergonomics. This training helps speed up your recovery. If we are both working together the best results will be achieved. Each case is different, and the length of your treatment will depend on your problem. Length of treatment ranges from two to three visits for a mild, acute injury, to four to six weeks for a more serious condition.
• MRI
  After listening we follow up with an examination that has a few parts. To begin with your posture and range of motion will be evaluated. Then some gentle neurological and orthopedic tests will be used to further refine your diagnosis. If it is necessary follow-up imaging (X-Ray, MRI) or special tests will add needed information. This first visit is usually 30 minutes.
• X-Rays

Surgeons

• Orthopedics
  "Chiropractic spinal manipulation is a safe and effective spine pain treatment. It reduces pain, decreases medication usage, rapidly advances physical therapy, and requires very few passive forms of treatment, such as bed rest." – Time to recognize value of chiropractic care? Science and patient satisfaction surveys cite usefulness of spinal manipulation. Orthopedics Today 2003 Feb; 23(2):14-15
• Sciatica
  Sciatica is a condition that is characterized by pain in the low back or buttock region that travels down into one or both of the legs. The pain intensity and frequency can vary in patients suffering from sciatica. Pain is often described as sharp, electric shocks. Burning, numbness and tingling sensations are also often associated with sciatica.
• Whiplash
  Chiropractic care is effective in treating chronic neck pain, stiffness, whiplash, muscle spasms and general aches and pains.

• Manual Therapy
  “Based on the randomized control trials reviewed, which included over 2,000 patients tracked in 14 different studies, spinal manipulative therapy appears to be effective for pain reduction in the short, immediate and long terms” –Dagenais, S., Gay, R., Tricco A., Freeman, M., & Mayer, J. (2010) NASS contemporary concepts in spine care: spinal manipulation therapy for acute low back pain. The Spine Journal, 10.918-940.

Podiatrists

• Ankle Sprain
  A runner and triathlete himself, Dr. Lazarowich is an expert in treating running and sports injuries. Most injuries occur from a single event (sprained ankle) or high repetition (ITB pain from running). When these injuries affect the joints, ligaments, tendons or muscles, chiropractic care and physiotherapy are great treatment choices.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  The most damaging force placed on a runner is the “shock” caused by the foot striking the ground. Many of the lower extremity joints function to reduce this shock, especially the foot and ankle. When these joints are inflexible it can predispose one to developing plantar fasciitis, knee issues, hip, and low back pain. When the joints of the foot and ankle do not act to absorb the shock of running, the muscles of the legs, hips, pelvis, and lower back have to work overtime to help to absorb these forces. This leads to chronic muscle damage, which leads to pain and a reduction in performance.
