I LOVE to treat shoulder problems! Leading up to my Board Certification as a Chiropractic Sports Physician, I met my publishing requirement with a research article on shoulder treatment and rehabilitation. Auto accidents are one common cause, but other injuries and problems that affect the shoulder joint and the surrounding tissues such as bursitis or rotator cuff inflammation and partial tearing get great results under our care. Of course, every patient is unique and we are honest when we say if we believe we can help or not. Let's see if non-surgical care is the right choice for YOUR shoulder pain. Call today!

VIDEO: Shoulder Pain & Auto Injury Shoulder pain is a problem experienced by many auto injury patients. Chiropractors can identify the source of the pain and develop a treatment plan to help patients reclaim their health. .

The human body is subject to "wear and tear" like any other "machine" with lots of moving parts. Spinal degeneration is rather inevitable as a result activities of daily living, big and little injuries along the way, genetic predisposition and the fact that our world isn't custom made for us. We are always trying to adapt to stress. This is a very good video that explains, through animation and plain English, how the spine works, how and why it wears down, and the role of Chiropractic in slowing the process. Learn, enjoy, and call me...we call help!

VIDEO: Preventing Spinal Degeneration Chiropractic is an effective way to prevent spinal degeneration. Keep your spine healthy and flexible to reduce your risk of future pain and disability. .

Acute back pain, which is usually something new or a flare-up of a previous, dormant condition, responds well to conservative care. An article in SPINE (the most respected medical journal for spine-related issues) says that acute back pain, if not treated properly,
will often become chronic. We see both acute and chronic back pain patients every day. Our methods are safe and effective. Keep a small problem small! Don't neglect to treat acute back pain. We can help!

VIDEO: Acute Back Pain A study from the journal Spine finds that patients with acute low-back pain frequently develop chronic symptoms. Acute low-back pain can result from lifting something incorrectly or straining ligaments or muscles in the back.

Here's a very good, short video on chiropractic care vs. endlessly popping pills. And, it is referenced from SPINE, the preeminent medical journal for spine-related issues.
Lingering neck and back pain need appropriate treatment which the temporary relief, if any, from NSAIDs and pain-killer pills do NOT address nor correct the underlying problem. We can help!

VIDEO: Chiropractic Better Than Drugs for Back Pain If you suffer from regular episodes of back pain, you're not alone. You'll be glad to know, though, that chiropractic is an effective way to not only treat back pain, it's much more effective (and safer!) than medications. .

We help so many seniors in our practice. You do NOT have to live with pain and simply write it off as "getting older". The video also mentions proper diet and exercise (I am Board Certified to advise you on both!).
Please call our office--if we believe we can help, we'll say so; if not, we'll tell you that too!

VIDEO: Chiropractic Care for Seniors With aging comes a new set of common aches and pains. Unfortunately, research shows that older adults are less likely to seek treatment for pain than younger adults.

The following video is one of a series I'll be posting/sharing created by my nephew, Dr. Daniel Perman, a Board-certified Chiropractic Neurologist practicing in California. I love the way he makes complex material understandable for the general public.

The title of this video is provocative because in the real world, the title can either be taken at face value or one could say that it is dependent on the individual patient and their specific situation.
We see many patients with disc herniation(s), and they are trying to avoid surgery, if possible, and be managed as non-invasively as possible. Because lumbar disc herniation is a condition treated
by both chiropractic physicians and medical physicians, using significantly different approaches (structural/natural vs. drugs/surgery), it makes sense to exhaust conservative procedures before resorting to more dangerous ones.
That said, the statistics quoted in the video are significant, and we have helped SO many patients with disc herniations! And, as a responsible chiropractic physician, I have a greater willingness to refer patients for medical management if our methods aren't fixing the problem, far more often than an M.D. resorts to a referral to a
chiropractor. Safer, non-drug chiropractic care has helped avoid countless surgeries. And, epidural steroid injections are certainly not without risk. Call us. If we can help, we'll say so; if not we'll say that too.

VIDEO: Chiropractic Better than Epidural Injections for Back Pain Epidural spinal injections are often used for back pain, but research shows that chiropractic works better...and carries none of the risks of this invasive procedure. . .

Radicular (or nerve root) pain has always been a situation where chiropractic care gets great results. Often, radicular pain is diagnosed on MRI where we can clearly see where the nerve root is being irritated or compressed.
The clinical presentation (symptoms) also help determine the exact level of root irritation, especially with radiating pain into the arm, hand, thigh, leg or foot.
If you think you may have radicular pain, call our office today-- we can help!

VIDEO: Chiropractic for Radicular Pain Radicular pain, or "radiating pain", is caused by the interference or pinching of the spinal nerves. This results in pain, tingling, or numbness in parts of your body that are far from the source of the problem.

Many of you have heard of the sacroiliac joint, but beyond some vague association to the lower back, most lay people don't know what it is. Like many joints named for the bones that form the joint, the sacroiliac joint (or SIJ) is where your tail bone (sacrum) meets your hip bone (iliac bone). It is a primary, weight-bearing joint when we stand upright, as well as for any upright activities such as walking, running and lifting. Inflammation of the joint occurs in most people at some time in their lives, often due to an injury (like lifting "wrong"), poor body mechanics or simple overuse. SIJ pain is common in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. We successfully treat acute and chronic SIJ problems literally every day. Call us--we CAN help!!

VIDEO: Sacroiliac Joint Pain Relief Study confirms that chiropractic care is an effective, safe way to treat sacroiliac (SI) joint pain. SI joint pain has a number of causes which include leg length discrepancies; altered function of the hip, leg, or knee; and pregnancy. Participants in this study received a single chiropractic treatm...

While you already know--and this video describes--the many conditions for which chiropractic care has proven to be both safe and very effective, you should also appreciate the benefits for health and well-being, not simply treatment for pain. We design a care program for each individual, according to their needs, consisting of an acute stage (pain), a rehabilitative stage (repair) and a hygienic (wellness) stage.
Stated more simply, the three stages are 1) feeling better, 2) functioning better and 3) living better. Whatever your needs and wants are for your chiropractic care, we can tailor a program especially for you.
Call us today, we can help!

VIDEO: Chiropractic Is Wellness Care Chiropractic is about more than just back pain relief. It's the natural, whole body approach to wellness.
