Exercise: Strong Bones! Osteoporosis affects more than 200 million people              worldwide, yet many are unaware they are at risk. The disease hasbeen called the silent epidemic because bone loss occurs without symptoms andthe disease is often first diagnosed after a fracture. Osteoporosis is morecommon in women, but men also develop it, usually after age 65. Young menwho play volleyball, basketball or other load-bearing sports for 4 hours aweek or more may gain protection from developing osteoporosis later in life.Men who increased their load-bearing activity from age 19-24 not onlydeveloped more bone, but also had larger bones compared to men who weresedentary during the same period. Bigger bones with more mass are thought to offer ashield against osteoporosis. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, May 2012

We Specialize In Spinal Musculoskeletal Disorders:

The doctor of chiropractic is a specialist in spinal musculoskeletal disorders. He is  trained to diagnose and treat the many musculoskeletal injuries that may occur on the job, in sports,  or in your daily life.

Upon injury, the individual often alters the normal position or flexibility of the spinal vertebrae. Chiropractic treatment is designed to restore normal alignment and thus minimize pain and suffering. Gentle manipulative therapy is often effective in rapidly returning the injured person to a productive status. The doctor of chiropractic can also provide guidance with advice designed to reduce work-related injuries, proper lifting procedures and therapeutic stretching exercises.
