Degenerative disc disease can make everyday movement feel stiff, fragile, and unpredictable. I focus on identifying which discs and joints are actually driving your pain, then building a plan that fits your body and your goals. After a thorough orthopedic and neurological exam, I combine gentle spinal adjustments, joint mobilization, and targeted soft tissue work to reduce irritation around the affected discs.

When appropriate, I add traction and specific stabilizing exercises to help unload the joints and improve control, so you can sit, stand, and walk with more confidence and less fear of flare-ups. My background in orthopedic case management helps me recognize when imaging or medical co-management is useful, and when conservative care is the safer, smarter first step. The aim is clear: calm the inflamed segments, restore as much motion as your spine will allow, and give you practical tools to keep your back working for you, not against you.

Back pain rarely comes out of nowhere; it usually builds from old injuries, desk posture, weak stabilizing muscles, or arthritic change. My first job is to sort out which of those is driving your symptoms now. I start with a detailed history, movement testing, and hands-on evaluation of your spine, hips, and surrounding muscles.

From there, I use precise chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilization, and soft tissue therapies to ease muscle guarding and improve how each spinal segment moves. For many people, I also design simple home exercises to support the changes between visits, so you are not dependent on my table for relief. Whether your pain is sharp and recent or a dull, nagging ache that has lingered for years, the goal is the same: get you back to sleeping, working, and moving without constantly thinking about your back.

Rib pain is uniquely frustrating-you feel it every time you breathe, twist, or roll over in bed. My job is to sort out whether the source is a misaligned rib joint, irritated intercostal muscle, costovertebral dysfunction, or referred pain from the spine. I use gentle rib and thoracic adjustments, along with specific soft tissue work between and around the ribs, to restore the small but crucial motions that happen with every breath.

For many people, I also address posture, shoulder mechanics, and core function, since stiffness or weakness in those areas often keeps the rib cage from moving freely. Treatment is typically light and very controlled; you should feel supported, not braced against painful pressure. As motion normalizes, breathing becomes deeper and less guarded, and simple tasks-like reaching, coughing, or sleeping on your side-start to feel easier again.

Fibromyalgia asks a lot of your body and your patience. Instead of chasing every sore spot, I look at how your nervous system, fascia, and joints are interacting as a whole. Visits typically blend very gentle spinal and extremity adjustments with myofascial and fascia-focused work to ease widespread muscle tension without overwhelming your system.

Over 27 years, I've learned that small, well-timed changes often serve you better than aggressive care. I also walk you through positioning, breathing, and movement strategies you can use on tough days to dial symptoms down at home. If you're juggling fatigue, poor sleep, and brain fog along with pain, the goal is to create a predictable rhythm of care that leaves you feeling a little more capable each week-not flared up after every treatment-and to give you a clearer sense of what actually helps your body feel safer and more at ease.

Concussion and traumatic brain injury often leave a trail of neck pain, dizziness, headaches, and body tension long after the initial event. My role is to address the musculoskeletal side of that picture in a way that respects your brain's healing. I use gentle spinal and upper cervical adjustments, soft tissue and fascia release, and graded movement work to reduce neck strain, improve posture, and calm protective muscle guarding.

I coordinate care with your medical providers when needed, so chiropractic fits safely into your broader TBI plan. Treatments are paced carefully-light, precise, and always guided by your symptom response. As your neck, ribs, and upper back move better, many patients notice clearer thinking, fewer headaches, and less fatigue from simple daily activities. The aim is to help your body support your brain, so you can return more comfortably to reading, screens, work, and everyday life.

Sciatica can turn sitting, driving, or tying your shoes into a nerve-wracking experience. My first step is to confirm that your pain truly is sciatic-coming from the low back or pelvis-and not a hip, sacroiliac, or muscular issue mimicking it. I use orthopedic and neurological testing to pinpoint the irritated nerve pathway.

Treatment often combines precise lumbar and pelvic adjustments, joint mobilization, and targeted soft tissue work around the piriformis, glutes, and hamstrings. When appropriate, I add traction and specific nerve glide and core-activation exercises to help decompress the irritated segment and protect it between visits. Many patients start to notice easier transitions-like getting out of a chair or car-with less shooting or burning pain. The aim is to calm the nerve, restore confidence in your movement, and help you return to work, walking, and sleep without constantly guarding against that next jolt of pain.

Auto injuries often create a mix of neck pain, headaches, low-back issues, and soft tissue damage that may not show fully in the ER. With an orthopedic-informed background, I start by carefully documenting your injuries, performing a detailed exam, and reviewing any imaging you already have.

Treatment for whiplash and related injuries usually blends gentle spinal and extremity adjustments, myofascial and fascia release, and gradual rehabilitative exercises to restore normal movement without aggravating inflamed tissues. I also communicate with your primary doctor, attorney, or claims adjuster when needed, so your chiropractic care fits cleanly into your overall recovery plan. My focus is on helping you move from feeling fragile and guarded after the crash to feeling stable, safer in the car again, and better able to work, sleep, and exercise without constant pain reminders from the accident.

Recurring headaches and migraines often have a strong mechanical component in the neck, upper back, and jaw. I start with a detailed history-triggers, frequency, visual changes, medications-then combine that with a hands-on exam of your cervical spine, ribs, and surrounding muscles.

Care typically includes gentle cervical and upper thoracic adjustments, soft tissue work on key trigger points, and fascia release to reduce tension through the neck and scalp. I also walk you through posture strategies, screen and workstation setup, and simple home techniques for calming early warning signs before a full-blown episode hits. When your medical workup is already in place, my role is to address the musculoskeletal drivers that medication alone can't fix. Many patients report fewer headache days, less reliance on rescue meds, and a stronger sense of control over their head pain patterns.
