- Sinusitis€œOur son has had chronic sinusitis since the age of 11 months. He has had one surgery and has been on countless medications. It never occurred to us that his spine being out of alignment could interfere with his immune system. For our son it has meant being frequently sick and missing out on all the things that little boys do...that is until now. While he still has these issues, the chiropractic treatments have reduced the intensity and suration of these episodes. Thanks to Dr. Christine, we have been afforded the opportunity to address our son’s chronic health issues and have discovered the wellness benefits fo chiropractic care.â€

- Neurology€œLast April I was in severe pain and had limited mobility. I could not stand from a sitting position without assistance, nor could I put weight on my right leg or I would get a shooting pain into my thight, hip and lower back. Prior to my first visit with Dr. Christine, I tried conventional medicine, an MRI, neurology, a bone scan, an evaluation from the Spine Institute, three mega doses of steroids, and another chiropractor for 2 years. There was nothing that could be done except the suggestion to take something for the pain. I have MS and it has done some neurological damage to my right leg, however this was not MS pain I experienced.

- Physical TherapyThe time frame to correct a subluxation or to return a vertebra to its proper position varies from person to person. Many factors can influence the healing process including, age, co-morbid conditions, adherence to the treatment plan etc. Often other healing procedures such as soft tissue massage, physical therapy, and acupuncture are used in combination with an adjustment to assist in the process. After correction of the subluxation, chiropractors may periodically schedule visits to monitor the position and prevent future misalignments.
