Introduction
Are You Seeking Chiropractic, Acupuncture Or Herbal Medicine?
Chiropractic is a natural method of healing using a non-invasive and drug-less approach to the treatment of patients. Focusing on spinal health and well-being, the individual is viewed as a whole and integrated being.
Because the body's various systems are interconnected, spinal mechanics - including the vertebrae, corresponding nerves, and soft tissues - play a major role in the health of the whole body. Structural or mechanical abnormalities in the spine, which cause pain, dysfunction, and loss of mobility, can be successfully treated.
What conditions are treated effectively with chiropractic?
Chiropractic has been shown to be effective for subacute back pain and flare-ups of chronic low back pain. It is also effective for neck pain. Manipulation of joints and the body's soft tissues may also be helpful for pain from other conditions, such as frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and other sports injuries, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Dr. Anthony is committed to providing his patients with the most advanced and state of the art corrective spinal care offered today. After graduating from Rider University with a biochemistry degree, Dr. Anthony attended the Palmer Chiropractic College West to obtain his doctorate degree. During his years of study he acquired a thorough understanding of the chiropractic science and has applied his knowledge in treating all types of patients.
Acupuncture is a natural method of treating illness and pain that involves the stimulation and balancing of chi through points, called acupoints, located throughout the body. Dr. Chang is Nationally Board Certified in acupuncture and regularly treats patients for the whole family. Common conditions that we have great success with include: Sciatica, Allergies, Arthritis, Back Pain, Neck Pain, Infertility, Head Aches, Nutritional Balancing, Food Allergies, Insomnia, Anxiety, Infertility, Stress Relief, Quit Smoking... and so much more..
What does an acupuncturist do?
In addition to asking questions, the acupuncturist may want to take your pulse at several points along the wrist and look at your tongue to observe its shape, color, and coating. The acupuncturist may also observe the color and texture of your skin, your posture, and other physical characteristics that offer clues to your health.
The acupuncturist then asks you to lie down on a padded examining table, and inserts the needles, twirling or gently jiggling each as it goes in. You may not feel the needles at all, or you may feel a twitch or a quick twinge of pain that subsides as soon as the needle is completely in. Once the needles are all in place, you rest for 15 - 60 minutes. During this time, you'll probably feel relaxed and sleepy and may even doze off. At the end of the session, the acupuncturist quickly and painlessly removes the needles.
How many treatments do I need?
For chronic back pain, one or two treatments a week for 1 to 2 months may be recommended.
