- Arthritis
- Pregnancy
- Kidney StonesThe disc is made up of a spongy gel-like center, the nucleus and tough outer series of rings, the annulus. These can be damaged through sudden, forceful movements such as a lifting, twisting, accidents, or years of repeated stress. Over time, the annulus fibers weaken sufficiently to cause a “bulge” in the nucleus that irritates nerves. People have often rated this pain just under child birth and kidney stones.
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeRepetitive motions such as computer work, sports, assembly or tool work, etc can cause inflammation of the retinaculum causing pain, tingling, numbness and a weakness in the hand. This is a condition known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

- UltrasoundUltrasound is a treatment modality that uses high or low frequency sound waves. It is a different type of ultrasound device than that which is designed to make a visual picture inside the body, for example to determine the sex of an unborn.
- MRIMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology. It produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images, and is often used for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring.

- SciaticaSciatica is an inflammation of the sciatic nerve. This is the longest nerve in the body. It runs from the lower back and buttocks, down the leg and into the feet. It is usually caused by one of four things.
- WhiplashIn an auto accident, “whiplash” is a term that often comes up. However, that only describes a mechanism of the injury and not the condition which usually includes neck and back pain, headache, pain in the extremities, dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty concentrating, etc. Although most frequently associated with a motor vehicle accidents, there are other ways of suffering a whiplash without a motor vehicle. Even then, more than half of all whiplash diagnoses occurred when there was little to no damage to the car. So it doesn’t take much.
- Pinched NerveFlexion-distraction therapy can also help restore healthy functioning and communication in the nervous system by alleviating pinched or compressed nerves. A pinched nerve can disrupt messages from the brain to the rest of your body and cause pain, tingling, numbness, and other symptoms. By improving the alignment of your spinal discs, it helps to restore nerves to their proper positioning and healthy functioning. This type of therapy can be used to address a specific issue or injury or to help you manage chronic pain.

- Physical TherapyResearch has proven the cost effectiveness of neck pain by chiropractic care versus traditional physical therapy and traditional medical care. People treated with chiropractic heal faster and at a lower cost.
- Frozen ShoulderThe shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. It has four main muscles that are responsible for its circular motion, reaching, lifting, pulling and pushing. They come together to form a connective tissue structure called the rotator cuff. Trauma or repetitive stresses make this system susceptible to injury. If left untreated this condition can progress to adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder).

- Manual TherapyI can’t even adjust myself and I’m a licensed chiropractor! Since a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force, applied in a specific direction to a specific joint, it is impossible to adjust oneself correctly and accurately. It is possible to turn or bend or twist in certain ways to creating a “popping” sound that sometimes accompanies a chiropractic adjustment. Unfortunately, this type of joint manipulation is usually counterproductive, damaging joint capsules and making an already unstable spine even more unstable, and can sometimes be dangerous. Adjusting the spine is not for amateurs. Don’t do this in your own home!
