Everyone was supportive in my care
"My hip was causing [me] extreme discomfort, so I looked to Dr. Joel for help. All of his team was supportive in my care, from exercise to massage. As time passed, I began to feel wonderful; my motions were increased and my pain was gone. I then damaged my shoulder. Dr. Joel sent me for x-rays and an MRI just to make sure there was no severe damage. Good news: no damage. I then started the rehab routine on my shoulder, starting slowly and gently increasing every time I visited. Today both my hip and shoulder feel the best they ever have!! Thank you to Dr. Joel and his team, I feel wonderful."

Chiropractic Pearls
“In our randomized, controlled trial, we compared the effectiveness of manual therapy, physical therapy, and continued care by a general practitioner in patients with nonspecific neck pain. The success rate at seven weeks was twice as high for the manual therapy group (68.3 percent) as for the continued care group (general practitioner). Manual therapy scored better than physical therapy on all outcome measures. Patients receiving manual therapy had fewer absences from work than patients receiving physical therapy or continued care, and manual therapy and physical therapy each resulted in statistically significant less analgesic use than continued care.”
