- Headaches
- ArthritisWhile some conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis are most likely not preventable, they make up a relatively small portion of the back pain in the US. Osteoarthritis, sprains, strains, etc., do have a very real component that can be prevented. Osteoarthritis is generally secondary to trauma (especially repeated trauma) to a joint, and is usually the result of long term repeated trauma to a joint. This trauma can be as simple as working on hard floors all of your life with poorly fitting shoes, or sitting hunched at a keyboard. This is why PREVENTION is the most important component in the treatment of back pain.
- FibromyalgiaExciting new research also shows benefit on such painful conditions as FIBROMYALGIA, MIGRAINES, VERTIGO, OSTEOARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Family Practice
- Internal MedicineNewly released practice guidelines published in the Annals of Internal Medicine stress a conservative approach to treating low–back pain and recommend spinal manipulation as one treatment with proven benefits. In the Guidelines proposed by Chou, et al, recommended that patients whose back pain does not improve with self care "should consider the addition of non–pharmacological therapies with proven benefits, including spinal manipulation."

- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeTreatment: We use state of the art equipment and the latest techniques to correct your problem and give you relief from your symptoms. It may include: Gentle spinal manipulation, Cox™ Axial Decompression for Disc or Facet or Stenosis Problems, and physical medicine modalities such as electrical muscle stimulation and ultrasound, galvanic stimulation or mechanical traction, etc. Class 4 Laser Therapy for the treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy, Carpal Tunnel and many other inflammatory and degenerative conditions.
- UltrasoundDiagnosis: You will be given a thorough examination that includes standard medical and chiropractic tests, including orthopedic, neurological, and biomechanical tests to determine the cause of your problem and rule out other causes. This may include x-rays or more sophisticated MRI, CT or Ultrasound tests. This is called Differential Diagnosis.
- MRIPatient Care Coordinator: will assist you in making referral appointments to specialists and for test such as MRI or CT, and with the paperwork for these visits. She will also assist in making convenient appointments for your care.

- SciaticaSciatica and radiculitis-These both mean pain/numbness/tingling in an arm or leg. They are the result of another problem such as a herniated disc and are relieved when the primary problem is resolved.
- WhiplashThird: Seek Chiropractic Care. The most frequent injuries that occur in auto accidents, sprains, strains, whiplash, disc injuries are all VERY responsive to chiropractic care. Starting with Pain Management or Surgery is not indicated and can lead to a lifetime of pain medications and permanent problems.
- Burns
- Sports MedicineAuto accident injuries / work related injuries / sports injuries-Early active treatment of auto injuries from whiplash to disc injuries means the best outcome for the victim. Studies show untreated injuries lead to early degenerative changes and prolonged pain and disability. Chiropractic care is the active treatment of choice.
- Physical TherapyVertebral axial distraction/decompression is a relatively new breakthrough in the non-surgical treatment of disc, stenosis and facet problems. In the past, there were few options for the person with these problems that did not respond to physical therapy, drugs, or routine spinal manipulation. However, with the advent of axial decompression, there is a new non-surgical treatment method available and the results are excellent.
- Tennis ElbowHPLT is highly effective on both chronic and actue conditions including BACK AND NECK PAIN, TENDONITIS, SPORTS INJURIES, TENNIS ELBOW, AND REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURIES SUCH AS CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME.
- Shoulder Pain
- Neck Pain
- Back Pain
- Manual TherapyIn a Randomized controlled trial, 183 patients with neck pain were randomly allocated to manual therapy (spinal mobilization), physiotherapy (mainly exercise) or general practitioner care (counseling, education and drugs) in a 52-week study. The clinical outcomes measures showed that manual therapy resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care. Moreover, total costs of the manual therapy-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care.
- Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy
- Plantar FasciitisExtremity problems-Extremities are areas outside the spine, such as shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, etc. Many conditions from bursitis to carpal tunnel, from degenerative hips to plantar fasciitis respond well to our treatment methods.
