Auto Injuries

If you have been in an auto accident, you need a doctor who is trained in the biomechanics of the human body. In addition to a comprehensive examination, imaging (x-ray or MRI) can be taken to find out if there has been any structural damage.

Common Sports Injuries

Participation in sports or exercise is an important step in maintaining your health. Exercise strengthens your heart, bones and joints and reduces stress, among many other benefits. But, especially for the weekend athlete, injuries during participation in sports are easy to avoid by taking some precautions. Often, these injuries occur in someone who is just taking up sports as a form of activity, doesn’t use proper safety equipment or becomes overzealous.

The more commonly injured areas of the body include the knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows and spine. Remember to discuss any new exercise program with your doctor of chiropractic prior to beginning. You want to start any new exercise slowly and gradually build up to longer workouts.

Degenerative Disc Disease

As we age or after injury spinal discs may undergo changes including drying up, thinning, dehydration and poor mobility. This process is referred to as Degenerative Disc Disease. Spinal Decompression successfully treats the symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease by re-hydrating the discs, improving circulation, increasing disc mobility and increasing disc height ultimately taking the pressure off of pinched nerves.
