If you are visiting this site because you are in pain then please read the following information.  It may change your life!

What causes neck and back pain?

The majority of neck and back pain is caused by a mechanical problem involving abnormal alignment or function of the bones of your spine.  Spinal misalignment and malfunction causes tissue damage which activates pain nerves.  The end-result is pain, muscle tension and inflammation.

Standard medical care consists of taking pain killers for the pain, muscle relaxers for the muscle tension and anti-inflammatories for the inflammation.  None of which address the underlying mechanical problem: the spinal misalignment and malfunction.

YOU CANNOT FIX MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH CHEMICALS !

Common sense would dictate that you should detect and correct the underlying mechanical cause of the pain: the spinal misalignment and malfunction.

My chiropractic care is effective because instead of treating the effects, such as pain and inflammation, with drugs (chemicals), I address the underlying cause of the problem, the spinal misalignment and malfunction.

SNAP, CRACK and POP or NOT!

In my office you can choose to receive standard hands-on Chiropractic care utilizing the Palmer method or gentle adjustments utilizing an electronic adjusting instrument without the cracking or popping sounds.  Both are very safe and effective!  You decide what you are more comfortable with.

Chiropractic, Cold Laser Therapy and the Pain Neutralization Technique:  The Perfect Combination

While Chiropractic care works on correcting the underlying mechanical problem, the Cold Laser accelerates the healing process and pain relief without any of the dangerous side effects of drugs.  Top athletes, such as Lance Armstrong, utilize the benefits of cold laser therapy.  For more info refer to the cold laser section.

The Pain Neutralization Technique utilizes gentle pressure on specific neurological reflexes to "turn off" painful myofascial trigger points.  This technique works best with severe pain. 

This powerful combination of techniques is why people travel from all over the valley to our office.

What causes joint pain and arthritis?

Shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and foot pain is also caused by mechanical problems.  These mechanical problems cause tissue damage resulting in pain and inflammation.  If these mechanical problems are not corrected they will cause the joint to deteriorate or degenerate over time.  A process we refer to as arthritis.

Chiropractic determines the nature of the mechanical joint problem and then works to correct it.  This decreases tissue damage, inflammation, pain and stops or slows arthritis.
