Can a chiropractor be beneficial after childbirth?
Absolutely! Childbirth is very traumatic on your body. You will probably see very profound results from good chiropractic care. Dr. Jonathan Donath, DC, MS READ MORE
What is better a massage or chiropractor?
Either could potentially help you. I would go to www.activerelease.com and search Find a Provider. Active Release Technique, in my opinion, is the best technique for muscle pain. It is done by chiropractors and massage therapists. Dr. Jonathan Donath, DC, MS READ MORE
Do chiropractors treat muscle pain?
I’d say at least half of what we treat is muscle pain. There’s also a chance you think it’s a muscle problem and it’s not. Very often muscles will hurt or even spasm to protect a more serious underlying problem. Chiropractors are good at figuring out what the underlying problem is and fixing it. READ MORE
Do chiropractors realign the spine?
Some chiropractors would say yes. I wouldn't necessarily use that language of realigning the spine. Chiropractors look (feel) for joints that are stuck and not moving well and we adjust them so that they move much better. This can be unbelievably helpful to those who feel "misaligned" or in pain. Dr. Jonathan Donath, DC, MS READ MORE
How long does a chiropractic adjustment for neck pain last?
That completely depends on so many factors. There are times I have adjusted someone one time in severe pain and they never had pain again. Other times, it can last minutes, hours, days, weeks or months. Often, it takes a series of adjustments for it to "hold" and last. Each individual is different, and their problem may be different. Dr. Jonathan Donath DC, MS READ MORE
What happens when a chiropractor cracks your neck?
The crack you hear when a chiropractor adjusts your neck is simply a bubble of carbon dioxide popping. It's the same sound you would hear when "cracking" your knuckles. It will just seem a lot louder and stronger since it's in your head and very close to your ears. The chiropractor is trying to get stuck joints to move and when it moves past a certain point a cavitation will occur and will get those stuck joints moving properly again. Dr. Jonathan Donath, DC, MS READ MORE
Can chiropractic treatment ease sciatica pain?
Yes, in most cases of sciatica, chiropractors are the perfect specialists to see if you have sciatica. It's one of the most common things we treat and in the vast majority of cases we can help resolve it. READ MORE
What can I do about my hip pain?
The short answer is yes, you should probably see a doctor if your hip isn't improving. There are quite a few things that can cause pain in your hip and there's no way I can know more without getting a full history of what you feel and a proper examination. Dr. Jonathan Donath, DC, MS READ MORE
Can pregnant women go see a chiropractor?
Great question. Back pain during pregnancy is very common and you're not able to take any medications so sometimes pregnant women really suffer. Chiropractors have been treating pregnant women for over one hundred years safely and effectively. In my practice, it is one of our main specialties as we shared space with a practice of midwives for seven years. We pride ourselves in helping pregnant women get relief and get it fast. I hope this was helpful. Dr. Donath READ MORE
