BACK PAIN/ NECK PAIN
If you are here, reading this page, most likely the “Ouch, my back!” experience is way too familiar to you. And – like most of our patients – you too want it to be gone.
Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain. Acute back pain comes on suddenly and usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks.
Even though the hands-on adjustment of the spine, called spinal manipulation, is the basis of chiropractic care, treatment for your back pain depends on what kind of pain you have, and what is causing it.
The good news is that no matter what treatment is recommended, most of our back pain patients fell better within a few weeks — often within a few days. That probably why about 95% of past-year patients say it’s effective.

HEADACHES & MIGRAINES
I have had headaches for the past few months and with recently starting a new job the stress added on which caused me to get migraine headaches making it hard to concentrate and do daily activities. I started coming to Dr. Wallace to relieve the pain. She massages my neck and head getting out all the knots which she said was very tight and tense. After a few weeks working with her and with taking the organic medications she recommended, my headaches are feeling much better and my neck is feeling less tense. I will continue to see her twice a week for treatment to minimize my headaches. ~ Amanda P.
Even though each person’s unique case is different and requires an examination from Dr. Wallace to determine the appropriate chiropractic treatment, the experience shows that chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation, improves migraine and cervicogenic headaches…
If you have a headache, you’re not alone. Nine out of 10 Americans suffer from headaches. Some are occasional, some frequent, some are dull and throbbing, and some cause debilitating pain and nausea.
What do you do when you suffer from a pounding headache?
WHAT CAN DOCTORS OF CHIROPRACTIC DO?
Dr. Wallace may do one or more of the following if you suffer from a primary headache:
Perform spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal function and alleviate the stress on your system
Provide nutritional advice, recommending a change in diet and perhaps the addition of B complex vitamins
Offer advice on posture, ergonomics (work postures), exercises and relaxation techniques. This advice should help to relieve the recurring joint irritation and tension in the muscles of the neck and upper back
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO STAY HEADACHE-FREE?
As you undergo a primary headache treatment with Dr. Wallace, consider keeping in mind suggestions offered by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA):
- If you spend a large amount of time in one fixed position, such as in front of a computer, on a sewing machine, typing or reading, take a break and stretch every 30 minutes to one hour. The stretches should take your head and neck through a comfortable range of motion
- Low-impact exercise may help relieve the pain associated with primary headaches. However, if you are prone to dull, throbbing headaches, avoid heavy exercise. Engage in such activities as walking and low-impact aerobics
- Avoid teeth clenching. The upper teeth should never touch the lowers, except when swallowing. This results in stress at the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) – the two joints that connect your jaw to your skull – leading to TMJ irritation and a form of tension headaches
- Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to help avoid dehydration, which can lead to headaches
Dr. Wallace can create a personalized posture program for you to help those headaches become a memory.

WHY DO ATHLETES TYPICALLY RELY ON CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT?
The reason why many injured athletes turn to chiropractic care is because while prescription drugs dull reaction times and carry the risk of addiction and surgery might leave an athlete benched for months, an experienced chiropractor is able to relieve pain without medicines or surgical procedure — all while keeping the body balanced, flexible as well as at optimum efficiency.
The typical sports injuries can knock the spine out of positioning, causing stress and anxiety on its pain-sensitive joints, muscles, nerves, discs as well as tendons. In research after research study, chiropractic treatment outshines various other medical alternatives at lowering pain and also restoring regular function.
What you may not know however, is that an estimated 90% of all world-class athletes routinely use chiropractic care to prevent injuries and boost their performance. That’s why all NFL teams have on-staff chiropractors, so do PGA golfers as well as the majority of NBA, MLB and NHL teams.
In addition to pain relief, athletes see Dr. Wallace to:
- Have regular spine adjustments for performance improvement.
In fact, as field studies show, athletes showed a 6.12% performance increase after receiving chiropractic treatment; another study showed 30% improvement in eye-hand coordination after 12 weeks of chiropractic care…Baseball players reported that chiropractic care has helped dramatically improve muscle strength as well as long jump distance.
Not to mention that regular visits to Dr. Wallace will also help you to train more effectively.
- Have fewer or prevent injuries
