Things like headaches, fatigue, allergies, sinus issues and migraines. What concerns me, is the people coming in with these symptoms are younger than ever before.

The doctor’s told him he needed surgery and gave him heavy duty pain killers.  Luckily, Matt felt like he should have other options besides surgery. Matt was referred to our office by one of his friends who had great results with Chiropractic care.

Rich fell off of a ladder twice and was experiencing terrible pain and numbness in his arms. Not only could he not work, but he was barely even able to walk because he was in so much pain.

If you suffer from plantar fasciitis then you know how debilitating the condition can be. Plantar fasciitis is and inflammation and tightening of the fascia that is on the bottom of the foot. Irritation to the fascia could be from overuse, improper shoes, fallen arches, tight muscles, and even spinal and pelvic misalignments.
