Do you accept personal injury cases?
Absolutely, yes. We have been helping accident victims for years from slip and fall to auto accidents. Our protocols work very well in helping such patients recover.
What is the most common cause of low back and neck pain?
The most common cause of low back or neck pain is a combination of having some areas too tight and stiff, while other areas are too weak.
For example, your hips and pelvis may be too tight while your core abdominal muscles are too weak.
How does an adjustment help back pain?
Chiropractic adjustments help decompress the joints. Over time, from degeneration or injury, scar tissue builds up and hinders motion. This in turn creates inflammation, compresses the joints and generates pain.
Chiropractic treatments break up this scar tissue, restoring proper motion and decompressing the joints, bringing the body back to normal function.
