To all of our valued patients and neighbors in the high desert. During this time of quarantine, our office will continue to remain open as doctor offices are essential. We will continue to treat our current patients and are accepting new patients (new patients by appointment only). We are working very hard to keep our patients and staff safe by continuing to keep our office and treatment rooms and taking extra precautions with disinfectant procedures in place. In doing so we are only allowing our patients in the office. No waiting around in the waiting area. As soon as our patient comes in they are taken back to a room for treatment. If we are busy we are asking our patients to wait in their vehicles. If you are sick please do not come in until you are feeling better.

Loving the new ACP guidelines for treating back pain! Don't mask your symptoms, address the problem at its cause!

"For acute and subacute pain, the guidelines recommend nondrug therapies first, such as applying heat, massage, acupuncture or spinal manipulation, which is often done by a chiropractor."

The American College of Physicians says back pain of all kinds should be treated with natural and alternative therapies, such as exercise, acupuncture and mindfulness.

This past weekend saw Andy Murray clinch a second Wimbledon men's singles title. Murray is known to favour spinal adjustments from his health care team. His victory was an emphatic triumph over Canadian Milos Raonic.

Increasingly, elite athletes in all sports are turning to treatment provided by doctors of chiropractic in order to maximise their performance and mobility. Next month chiropractors will be in Rio as part of the 2016 Olympic Games - our own sporting heroes on the world stage. -WFC

Treat the CAUSE of the pain, NOT the SYMPTOMS. We always address your pain at its root cause, and facilitate prevention.

Are you setting your child up for a life of chronic neck pain and early onset degenerative arthritis?

Everywhere you go, you can find people walking around, driving, eating, standing, sitting - never without their precious smart-phones.

Handheld technology in the hands of children and teens has spiked over the last decade; of course let's not minimize adult usage.

With its rise, we have more chronic neck pain cases in younger individuals than ever before. Looking down for long periods of time causes the muscles behind the neck to shorten and weaken as the muscles in front of the neck are chronically stretched and weakened. The human body always favors balance and eye leveling so we jut the chin and shoulders forward.

This position straightens the normal (lordosis) curve of the neck; decreasing the ideal shock absorbing capability of the spine, further resulting in increased loads on the discs. Over several years time, we will see bone remodeling in the form of what is called Cervical Spondylosis, or degenerative arthritis of the neck.

Unfortunately taking away the phones is not enough. Knowledge is power when it comes to spine health. Proper biomechanics, stretching, exercises, and tissue sparing activities are key in taking care of your neck and back.

Our office is now offering spine care workshops. Workshops can be set up at your public high school free of charge; or in office for a small fee depending on the type of workshop.

A nice article published on the Harvard Health website.

The use, acceptance, and popularity of chiropractic care has increased significantly over the last few decades.

"While the mainstay of chiropractic is spinal manipulation, chiropractic care now includes a wide variety of other treatments, including manual or manipulative therapies, postural and exercise education, ergonomic training (how to walk, sit, and stand to limit back strain), nutritional consultation, and even ultrasound and laser therapies."

"Chiropractors today often work in conjunction with primary care doctors, pain experts, and surgeons to treat patients with pain."

Chiropractic is a health care system that holds that the structure of the body, particularly the spine, affects the function of every part of the body. Chiropractors try to correct the body’s alignment to relieve pain and improve function and t...
