Frequently Asked Questions

I was involved in a car accident. I went to the MD and was diagnosed with whiplash. Is there anything I can do besides sit around and wait to get better?

Absolutely yes! Chiropractic care and physiotherapy can improve healing dramatically. Ligament damage of the neck and upper back is the primary tissue of concern with these types of injuries.

I often get headaches. Can chiropractic adjustments help me?

Very possibly yes. Chiropractic is quite helpful for tension and sinus headaches. It is often beneficial in alleviating some types of migraine headaches also.

I am pregnant and get pain going down my leg. Is this normal? Can chiropractic help alleviate the discomfort without hurting my baby?

Leg pain during pregnancy is very common. It is usually caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve due to pressure from the baby. Gentle chiropractic adjustments are very helpful in safely alleviating the soreness.

My knees get so sore that I am in a lot of pain if I stand or walk much at all. How could chiropractic help me?

Very often knee soreness is due to imbalance or misalignment of the foot or ankle, hip joint, pelvis or lumbar vertebrae. Chiropractic adjustments and/or acupuncture have been demonstrated to be advantageous in providing relief for this type of knee discomfort.

I injured my lower back at work. It is difficult for me to continue doing my normal activities without pain. Can chiropractic help me get back to work more quickly and get me feeling like myself again?

Studies have shown that fewer workdays are lost by workers with low back injuries receiving chiropractic care. If exercise rehabilitation is included, the healing time is further accelerated.

I have arthritis. Is there anything that chiropractic can do?

Chiropractic can slow down the effects of degenerative osteoarthritis. Glucosamine Sulfate is a proven nutritional aid to complement the healing process.
