Pain is a great motivator for individuals to seek the help of a chiropractor. Doctors of Chiropractic frequently provide relief related to complaints such as headaches, joint pain, neck pain, TMJ pain, low back pain, leg pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, spinal disk conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains and strains. They also have the training to help you with a variety of other conditions such as: allergies, asthma, digestive disorders and ear infections. You can (and should) visit your chiropractor even if you don't have any complaints or symptoms. But why? Because your overall health depends on it! Waiting until symptoms present themselves is no different than waiting until a small cavity turns into an infection or requires a root canal to resolve.
Your system of nerves control every action and process in the body through a complex network of nerves. These nerves connect your brain to every tissue and organ, and your body's ability to heal, grow, fight disease and handle stress depends on the health of this system. If the health of this system is compromised, the body's ability to fulfill its functions will suffer and this may result in symptoms noticeable to you. Why would you wait for symptoms when you can prevent them, right? Chiropractic care helps your body to heal better and function at optimum capacity. It is simply good for you quality of life!
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. More than 27 million Americans visit a chiropractor each year. Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Most individuals feel immediate relief following chiropractic care and some may experience mild soreness, stiffness or aching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. It typically fades within 24 hours. Keeping in mind that everyone's body responds differently to a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Boushehri uses a combination of several different techniques and she may alter each client's care as necessary so that they experience the many benefits of chiropractic care.

Is chiropractic care appropriate for children?
Yes, children and expecting mothers can benefit from chiropractic care. Pregnancy presents with many challenges for a female and chiropractors can be great sources of help. Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort. Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient. It is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, very gentle. Access wellness articles and a holistic approach relating to children's health.
