Did you know ...

... that if you stand for a length of time either at work or at home you should take careful consideration.

Leaning over may feel like it is taking strain off your back, but in fact it actually adds a lot of strain to the lower back. It is also recommended that you adopt a healthier standing position by placing a block, few books or any hard object to raise one of your feet off the floor. The height of about four to five inches is suggested, but you should do whatever feels most comfortable for you and alternate feet once in a while.

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a healing discipline firmly grounded in science. Although its main focus is the relationship between the skeleton (particularly the spine) and the nervous system that runs through it, chiropractic is concerned with the care of the entire body. Chiropractic focuses on addressing the source of your problem, not simply with treating symptoms.

Chiropractors use various diagnostic methods, which may include x-rays, to discover the state of your health, paying particular attention to your spine and bone structure. Spinal adjustments, or manipulation as it is also referred to, as well as other manual techniques are their primary methods of helping your body heal itself.

The word chiropractic comes from a combination of the Greek words "chiro" and "praktikis", meaning "done by hand". Chiropractors provide specialized "hands-on" treatment of the spine, muscles and joints of the body. More specifically, chiropractic is effective treatment for:

Back pain
Headaches (migraines)
Neck pain
Whiplash injuries
Disc problems
Sciatica and leg pain
Numbness/tingling in the arms or legs
Shoulder, arm and hand pain
TMJ (jaw pain)
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Dizziness
Fatigue
Pre-Natal care
Infants and children
Knee pain

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Patients often report experiencing feelings of relief, greater mobility and a general sense of well-being after a treatment from their Doctor of Chiropractic. The chiropractic adjustment is thought to restore the body's powerful ability to heal itself, so it is not surprising that many patients say they sleep better and have more energy following their treatments.

Chiropractors can play a major role in preventative care, protecting against future pain and health problems. A wealth of independent studies support the effectiveness of chiropractic care. And most importantly, patients express a high degree of satisfaction with the benefits. The number of people including chiropractic as part of their total health care program is increasing steadily.

How long does a session last?

Your first visit usually takes between 45-60 minutes. Most of this time is dedicated to discussions with Dr. Cohn about your history, diagnosis and treatment. Each visit thereafter takes approximately 15-25 minutes.
