REDUCE YOUR CHANCES OF SURGERY - SEE A CHIROPRACTOR FIRST! A 2013 study published in the journal Spine [1] showed a very strong association between likelihood o...f surgery and the first provider seen. The study sought to identify early predictors of lumbar spine surgery within 3 years after occupational back injury. Approximately 42.7% of workers who first saw a surgeon had surgery, in contrast to only 1.5% of those who saw a chiropractor. Read the full text at https://bit.ly/2FScybq.

As a patient, if you ha...ve questions or concerns about care, you should feel comfortable to ask the chiropractor for more information on the recommendations made and address any concerns. See more

We tend to stop doing the things we love when we’re in pain, making the pain worse. Our bodies get used to being less active and our joints start to stiffen. By... keeping your joints moving properly with chiropractic care, you can get back to doing the things you love without pain. #ArthritisAwarenessMonth #Chiropractic #Chiro #OCA #ONChiro http://ow.ly/K0tq50wbKHH

Some chiropractors prescribe controlled exercise to people who find it difficult to do the activities they once enjoyed. Keeping your body moving properly is im...portant when arthritis affects your daily life. http://ow.ly/qRwS50vWPL7 #ArthritisAwarenessMonth #Chiropractic #Chiro #OCA #ONChiro

Happy Opening Day!

Pain is a LATE sign that something is wrong, not an early one. By the time you feel pain, your problem has likely been developing for some time. This means two ...things. First, don't wait until you're in pain to seek help. Second, don't confuse getting relief with actual healing. To feel better, you need only drop back below that critical tipping point. The kind of healing that means something won't just come back later can take longer. Give yourself the time you need to heal. See more
