Your Chiropractor Asks some important questions of interest to Rocky River residents - Chiropractor Rocky River Your Chiropractor Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more Rocky River parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
