Headaches

Headaches can have many causes, including problems in the upper cervical spine and / or the cranial rhythms. Adjacent misalignments at the C1 and C2 are often involved. As an Advanced Proficiency Rated ACTIVATOR chiropractor, I address these problems comfortably and precisely. I balance the whole body, including craniosacral, with each treatment.

Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs)

Genetically modified foods may be associated with allergies, immune problems, faulty insulin regulation, and other health problems---the bottom line is, we don't really know for sure. The long term effects aren't fully understood. In addition, many GMO crops are designed to resist herbicides and pests, so they are loaded with toxic residues. Wouldn't you like to know whether a food contains GMOs, so you make a choice of whether to eat it or not? An initiative on the CA ballot will allow people to vote to require LABELING of GMO foods.

Chondromalacia Patella

Chondromalacia patella is an often painful "crunching" under the kneecap. It's a form of osteoarthritis, and is often related to abnormal tracking of the kneecap as it moves when you bend your knee. It can be treated by precise, directional ACTIVATOR chiropractic adjustments, and exercises should be given to help correct the tracking of the kneecap.
