Sciatica
Sciatica is a common condition characterized by radiating pain along the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down through the buttocks and into the legs. As a chiropractor, I encounter many patients seeking relief from the debilitating symptoms of sciatica.

Understanding Neck Pain and How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Neck pain can manifest in various symptoms, which may vary in intensity and duration. Common symptoms include persistent pain, stiffness, headaches, radiating pain, numbness or tingling, muscle spasms, and fatigue. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to identify the underlying cause and determine the best treatment options.
Chiropractic for Kids
There is no age limit on those who might benefit from chiropractic care. Children are the easiest to help as their spinal issues are not long-standing, and they respond quickly. Many patients come to seek relief from long-term issues that other healing avenues have not been able to help. Many of the cases in which patients found relief was due to the chiropractic treatment addressing the root cause of the problem rather than treating the effects and/or symptoms.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is an overuse injury that affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow. It’s common among athletes, especially tennis players, but can also occur in anyone who performs repetitive arm movements. It's often caused by overuse or repetitive stress, particularly involving activities that require gripping, twisting, or extending the arm.
Golfer’s Elbow
Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is a condition similar to tennis elbow but affects the inside of the elbow rather than the outside. It’s caused by repetitive stress or overuse of the forearm muscles, particularly those involved in gripping and flexing the wrist.
