Click here to see how chiropractors are uniquely qualified to determine the underlying cause of your low back pain.

After a thorough exam we will determine the best plan of treatment designed to get you feeling pain-free and healthy. If we determine that your low-back pain is coming from a potentially life threatening situation or from serious conditions listed above, we will make the appropriate referral to another qualified medical specialist.

Having Low Back Pain can be one of life's most aggravating experiences. As a Doctor I know this personally because I have episodic back pain. I was born with a disc defect so I literally feel your pain! I have spent my entire life working on ways to get rid of back pain. That was one of the reasons I went to school to become an expert in the back. It was also the reason that I invented and developed a unique device to help get rid of Low Back Pain. It's called the Jilco Chair and it really works! With a background in engineering I have spent 20 years building and researching this Chair! It has helped me and hundreds of other patients. The Jilco chair is especially designed for people who have been diagnosed with degenerative joint or disc disease, bulging & herniated discs and sciatica. The chair works by separating the discs through decompression while simultaneously stretching all the lumbar stabilizing muscles.

Neck Pain
Neck pain can be caused by numerous conditions. Some of the more common causes include:
  • Strain/Sprain of the neck muscles
  • Poor Posture-sleeping wrong
  • Arthritis
  • Degeneration of the neck

Some more serious neck pain may be from:
  • Tumors or Lesions in the neck
  • Infections such as meningitis
  • Cancer

Sometimes neck pain involves a serious medical condition that is outside of the scope of chiropractic (such as a viral infection) and in that case we will make the appropriate referral to a medical specialist.
