Helping Patients of All Ages

There's no question that chiropractic is incredibly effective when it comes to relieving pain. But did you know that it can do so much more? It can help with an array of common childhood conditions such as headaches and postural strain from carrying heavy backpacks and looking down to frequently on electronic devices. Chiropractic also can allow seniors to move easier so they can enjoy a higher quality of life. Athletes looking to up their game also can benefit from chiropractic as it can help to prevent and heal sports-related injuries such as concussions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What conditions can chiropractic care help with?

  Chiropractic care can help with a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain, shoulder pain, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and even some non-musculoskeletal issues like stress relief, improved sleep quality, vertigo and post-concussion symptoms. It's most commonly sought for relief from acute or chronic pain.

• Is chiropractic care safe?

A treatment plan with options will also be discussed.

• Will I get adjusted at my first visit?

  Each individual case is unique. To ensure there are no contraindications to an adjustment, a thorough review will be done. This will include history, examination and review of previous imaging. We will look over your specific case to give you their best recommendation of care and will adjust you if it's appropriate and safe on your first visit to our office.
