- ArthritisI've been a Licensed Massage Therapist since early 2006. I specialize in a number of different modalities including Myofascial Release, and Deep Tissue which when used together get phenomenal results. For example, I have treated clients with Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. It has made a significant improvement in their stress, pain, and insomnia.

- WhiplashAccording to the Department of Motor Vehicles, approximately 10.8 million car accidents occur each year. Getting into a car accident can be physically and mentally stressful for the body. An accident does not only affect your neck and lower back, it also results in whiplash, headaches, shoulder, jaw pain and post concussion symptoms. It’s very important to understand how your body can be affected after a motor vehicle accident and the steps you can take to make sure you can be as healthy as you can be after the accident.
- Pinched NerveShooting pain that spreads down the arm into the hand and fingers can be a symptom of a ' pinched nerve ’ or nerve entrapment in the neck. When a nerve is 'pinched' in the neck, numbness, tingling, weakness and possibly pain of the hands or arms may occur.
- LesionsSurprisingly, the disc may start showing signs of wear and tear as early as age 15. As you age, the disc may lose fluid and small cracks (lesions) form in the outer walls. This aging may be accelerated by the vertebral subluxation complex, a spinal distortion chiropractors correct. If the nucleus pulposus begins to push the annular fibrosis a little out of shape, it's called a herniation. If the herniation causes the disc to bulge a little, it's called a protrusion. If the disc bulge goes into the spinal cord or puts extreme pressure on the lumbar nerves, it is a disc prolapse. A prolapse may cause such severe pain that sitting, standing, walking or lifting could be impossible. Other symptoms can include pain when urinating, defecating, sneezing and coughing; numbness of the leg or foot or a loss of muscular control may also occur.
- Sports MedicineNumerous studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for back pain, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, sports injuries and many other types of musculoskeletal problems. It has even been shown to be effective in reducing high blood pressure, decreasing the frequency of childhood ear infections, and improving the symptoms of asthma. More and more scientific research is demonstrating the tremendous detrimental impact that subluxation have on the tissue of the body. In order to be truly healthy, it is vital that your nervous system be functioning free of interference from subluxations. Chiropractors are the only health professionals trained in the detection, location, and correction of the vertebral subluxation complex through chiropractic care.
- Physical TherapyDr. Fisher was initially exposed to chiropractic by his mother-in-law, who directed him to her chiropractor after a significant neck injury. The chiropractic treatment for his neck pain was an instant success, which included solving some of his lower back issues as well. During one of his treatments, the chiropractor he was seeing asked what his plans were for college. At that moment, Dr. Fisher was considering physical therapy school, but decided chiropractic school was a better fit, given his own success story had just begun. The rest, as they say, is history.
