Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture, PC

In observance of Independence Day, we will be closed on Friday, July 3rd. We still have appointments available today and tomorrow. Call us today if you'd like to be seen before the holiday weekend.

Congratulations to Dr. Miller on having her research recognized in the medical literature!
Dr. Miller's paper, "Cervical Radiculopathy Associated with Shingles (Herpes Zoster) Infection," was originally published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine and co-authored by Dr Cox, the creator of the Cox method, and Dr. Olding, a leader in the education of the Cox method. We are proud to share that this work was recently cited as a reference in a study published in the prestigious BMJ (formerly known as the British Medical Journal.)
At Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture, our doctors utilize the highly researched, evidence-based Cox® Flexion-Distraction technique to help reduce disc and nerve root pressure while restoring normal physiological range of motion.
We are proud of Dr. Miller's contributions to advancing evidence-based chiropractic research and improving patient care!

The parking lot and sidewalks have been shoveled but may still have a few slippery areas so proceed with caution if you have an appointment with us today. If you are shoveling snow, try bending your knees and hips to keep the pressure off of your lower back. Breathe in as you lift or push. Breathe out as you throw. Remember to take frequent breaks. Being out in the cold can cause your blood vessels to constrict. Within just two minutes of shoveling, your heart can reach 85% of it's maximum heart rate, according to the American Heart Association.
