As a chiropractic physician, I primarily treat neck and back disorders using manual methods such as manipulation to reduce pain and other symptoms such as arm or leg numbness and neck-related headaches. We place a strong emphasis on improving movement in joints and flexibility in muscle structures. I also teach my patients what they can do to improve their lifestyle, whether their condition has originated recently or is associated with a long-standing and more complex disorder. We like to see our patients become as independent as possible in their work and personal life and strive to supply them as many tools to assist them to reach this goal as possible. Chiropractors help the machine that is the human structure function more smoothly. I employ gentle manual techniques toward this end and have been blessed to see many patients with a number of limitations significantly improve.
