read moreIf you've ever gone to a social event where you didn't know anyone, you know how uncomfortable that can make you feel. Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home. Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it's important that our relationship can go the distance.

The longer you wait the more unseen damage there is and the longer it seems to take to recover. Because the nerves to the arms and hands exit the spine through the injured area of the neck, numbness and tingling are common. Even lower back pain can result directly from the trauma, or as a reaction to the loss of proper spinal curves. Whether you've been in an accident, stressed at work, or over-exerted yourself in the garden, your body is constantly adapting to the environment.

When your body reacts by "tripping a circuit breaker" and causing subluxation, chiropractic care may help.

New patients often comment on how calming and peaceful our office is when they come in for the first time, and that's great because we want you to be as comfortable as possible, especially when you're in pain. After filling out the paperwork, you'll be taken to a private room where the doctor will take a detailed history, perform an exam of the area(s) of complaint. If the doctor determines the need for x-rays you will be referred out for x-rays to be taken by an independent local x-ray facility.

Even the smallest deviation in the relationships of the seven bones of your cervical spine (neck) can cause pain and reduced head and neck mobility. Generally, we see two types of neck pain cases. Minor neck and shoulder pain involve sensations of discomfort, stiffness or soreness. If these symptoms last for more than a day or so, occur frequently or were preceded by an accident or some type of injury, we consider it major.
