Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) is a painful condition in which stomach acid gets up into the esophagus. The sphincter between the lower esophagus and the stomach may not close properly, or there may be a hiatal hernia. As an Activator Chiropractor, I have an adjustment for this which has helped many of my patients who have GERD.

Get ready for Spring

Feeling ready for Spring, getting outdoors and being more active? It's good to prepare by getting my full-body balancing with ACTIVATOR Chiropractic.

Shouldn't we have the right to know what's in our foods? Of course! Take time to stop a moment and sign the petition supporting a 2012 CA ballot initiative require labeling of foods containing GMOs (genetically modified foods). Volunteers at local grocery stores, farmers' markets, etc., are gathering signatures. Learn more at http://www.labelgmos.org/

Flat feet

Flat feet may abnormally stress the knees, causing premature degenerative changes. The right orthotics and ACTIVATOR Chiropractic adjustments can help. Get evaluated if you think this is happening to you.

Spring = A great time to get adjusted!

As an Advanced Proficiency Rated ACTIVATOR Chiropractor, I always balance the whole body, and I do cranio-sacral with every treatment, as well.

Headaches

Headaches are often relieved with upper cervical adjustments and cranial balancing. I include cranial work with every treatment, and make comfortable, precise adjustments with ACTIVATOR Chiropractic.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis--a sideways spinal curve--can, if caught early enough, and if related to pelvic distortion, be corrected. I've had success with this, using ACTIVATOR Chiropractic adjustments and exercises.

Arthritis of the knee

If the kneecap is misaligned, there is abnormal wear-&-tear underneath it, which can contribute to arthritis of the knee. It's easy to correct with ACTIVATOR Chiropractic, and special exercises help the correction to hold.

Neck pain and tension

Neck pain and tension can be a difficult cycle to break. My Chiropractic approach is to adjust misalignments, release fixations, and share home care advice: ergonomics, posture (including sleep), etc., tools patients can use on their own to get relief.

Numbness in the hands

Numbness in the hands or fingers can be caused by nerve impingement at multiple sites--often in the wrist or at the neck. My comfortable, precise ACTIVATOR Chiropractic adjustments can help.

Inversion ankle sprains (turning your foot inward) always affect specific joints in the foot. The sooner you get these adjusted, the sooner you heal. I precisely & comfortably realign these joints with ACTIVATOR Chiropractic.

Coconut oil

Have you had your coconut oil today? Coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat (used in moderation) containing lauric acid, which is anti-viral. Read more about it here: http://www.coconutoil.com/coconut_oil_21st_century.htm

Roasted Roots

Making "Roasted Roots" this rainy day. Beets, yams, carrots smell great in the oven. These richly colored veggies are chock full of hearty winter nutrients.

Care for Feet

What's happening with your feet may be harming your knees, low back, and all the rest of you. Good orthotics can be part of the solution, along with full-body balancing with ACTIVATOR chiropractic. That's my specialty.

Low back pain

Low back pain may be due to a distorted pelvis, which not only hurts, but makes an unstable foundation for all the rest of the body. I can fix that with ACTIVATOR chiropractic adjustments.

Pain in the neck

Ever notice how often getting stressed gives us a "pain in the neck?" Lots of us store our stress in our upper back and neck. Keep your neck and back warm, relieve your stress however you can, and consider low-force ACTIVATOR chiropractic. It helps!
