Chiropractic Care
Gentle, precise adjustment of the spine and joints. On most visits Dr. Brown works the surrounding muscles by hand first, then adjusts — the two together are the core of care here.

Conditions we see most
What brings people in
Each of these has its own page — what’s usually behind it, and what Dr. Brown actually does about it.
Back pain
A location, not a diagnosis. Why backs complain — and the evaluation-first approach to settling them down.
Sciatica
Pain that travels down the leg. Disc, piriformis, or both — and gentle traction, muscle work, and adjustment.
Neck pain
From “military neck” to “tech neck”: what forward-head posture does, and how the body adapts.
Headaches
Many causes, one honest evaluation of the musculoskeletal piece — from a doctor who had childhood migraines himself.
Shoulder pain
Tendinitis, rotator cuff trouble, and stubborn shoulders — treated by someone who’s battled his own.
Vertigo
What causes the spinning, which types respond to care, and the Epley maneuver for BPPV.
What a visit can include
Treatment is matched to what the evaluation actually finds. Depending on the problem, that can include:
- Hands-on muscle work — deep muscle massage to settle muscles that are guarding or clamped down.
- Specific adjustments to the spine — precise, gentle, and only where they’re warranted.
- Lumbar flexion on the auto-flexion table — gently tractioning the low back when disc pressure is part of the picture (sciatica, back pain).
- The Epley maneuver — for BPPV-type vertigo, guiding displaced inner-ear crystals back where they belong.
- Specific stretches and a short set of home exercises — matched to your problem areas, not a generic handout.
- Simple movement and lifestyle advice — walking, and the daily things to modify or avoid so you don’t keep re-aggravating it.
Often it’s the combination — not any one trick — that helps. And if the evaluation points somewhere chiropractic isn’t the right fit, Dr. Brown will tell you plainly and help you get there.
