It is estimated that almost everyone at some point in their lives will experience back or neck pain, headaches, and muscle sprains. While there are many causes of pain, often it can be attributed to imbalances in muscles, misalignment or improper function of one or more of the several hundred joints of the body. Chiropractic has been clinically proven to provide relief from joint pain, muscle pain and headaches.
Postural/Structural Analysis
Postural habits are a combination of genetics and conditioning, learned from the people around us in our formative years. It is influenced by the positions we adopt while at work, habits at home, participating in sports, and all other aspects of our lives. Proper postural habits, both static and in motion, can relieve pain and discomfort, increase energy, keep the joints healthier, and increase overall quality of life.
Athletic Conditioning
Chiropractic has been shown in multiple studies to improve athletic performance. In addition, many sports, while contributing to the overall health of the individual, also come with the risk of repetitive stress injuries. Coordinated treatment for such conditions along with proper training, rest, and nutrition, can extend one's ability to pursue athletic endeavors indefinitely.

Worth the trip out of D.C.
A congenital birth defect left me with one leg shorter than the other. This affects my gait, pelvic tilt, and the biomechanics involved in rowing, cycling and other athletic endeavors. In addition to spinal adjustments, Joe has provided exercises and orthotics, and offered posture corrections that have helped immensely.

I feel better!
While things aren't 100% better 24 hours later, they are most certainly 60% better....and with a few more days, along with the tips and stretches Joe showed me, I'm on the road to recovery. So knowledgable and easy to work with.
