SYMPTOMS

Getting sick or having symptoms is your body talking to you. You already know this: you eat bad seafood and your body will talk to you, you drink too much alcohol, your body will talk to you. You travel or are around little kids when your immune system is not used to it, your body talks to you. Sometimes your body's "chat" is what we call: "self limiting" , meaning it is over quickly and completely.

However, sometimes symptoms come and stay and do not go away, they may stay the same, they may get worse. But when you do not know the "why" you are not healing as expected, things start to get stressful.

What we generally tell people in that situation is:

"If you knew what you needed to fix, you already would have".

Which means you need some outside assistance. Chiropractic can help for a very wide variety of symptoms. Sometimes a chiropractor is all you need, and sometimes, you need a whole healthcare team, including a Chiropractor.

We suggest to our patients that they have a Trusted Healthcare Team including a Chiropractor, Dentist, Eye doctor/Glasses, Massage Therapist, Physical therapist, PCP. We want you to build and have a relationship with a Team of Healthcare professionals to help you stay healthy and feel vibrant.

Below are some specific links to other pages on our website. Most of them contain some basic information about each complaint as well as some additional hyperlinks to other resources that you may find helpful as you do your Due Diligence.

As always, we want to help you reclaim your health and well-being. If you are already to the point you KNOW you need help, then schedule your first visit here:

Pain

Pain is one of the most universal signs that something is wrong with your body.

Think of it as a very obvious cry for help from your body. The challenge is that Pain is just a general signal: it does tell you there is a problem; however, it does not always do a good job pointing us to where the problem is.

Shortness of Breath

Shortness of breath is just what it sounds like: you do not feel like you can breathe properly for the circumstances; for example: if you just sprinted down the street you would expect to be out of breath. So we do not worry about that.

However, if all of the sudden you are struggling to climb the stairs in your home, stairs have climbed every day for years, then we worry and have to start asking questions and digging.
