Chiropractic and Your Posture
How often did your parents tell you to stand up straight? Whether they were complaining about your slouching or warning you about your heavy backpack, they understood the importance of good posture.

Your Body's Shock Absorbers
When the shock absorbers in your car are overworked, they will suffer damage and the same theory applies to the discs in your body. They can bulge, herniate, tear, and degenerate…though they don’t “slip”, which is a commonly misused term. If you are suffering from low back pain, you could be experiencing a herniated disc or other disc-related issues and we can help!
Soothe Your Sciatic Pain
In addition to regular chiropractic adjustments, there are some additional steps you can take that might assist in immediate pain relief. Keep in mind that each individual is different, so what works for one patient might not work for another. Sciatic pain is not easy to deal with, and if you remain open minded, the therapies that can provide relief might surprise you!
