IN CLOSING We would like to welcome Dr. Joanna to our practice. She is a medical doctor specialized in neurology. She is from Romania and is licensed to practice in Europe.

In the past few months combined, we have studied in Denver, Atlanta, Columbus, Reno, Dallas, and Vietnam to learn cutting edge methods our practice can use to help you, your family, and your friends. PAIN REDUCTION Many children suffer from pain that’s unique to their age. Growing pains manifest as throbbing aches in arms and legs as the result of physical activity. The stress of this pain can settle in the spine, meaning a chiropractor can help relieve the pressure.

Hint : the more fruits and vegetable, the better. Regenerative medicine has a completely different approach than degenerative medicine, which ignores the underlying cause of a disorder and merely medicates the symptoms, allowing problems to worsen over time, even if things feel better in the moment. Modern medicine is the best it’s ever been when it comes to acute crisis issues (roughly 10% of medical issues). But it is dreadful at chronic, centralized, or lifestyle-induced issues (the other 90%).
