I wish I had known then what I know now!  When I was in 7th grade, I went in to make a layup while playing on my middle school basketball team.  As I began to jump, I felt something give in my back.  I immediately fell to the ground with excruciating pain.  I had injured my lower back.  I spent most of the next week hunched over because the pain was so bad.  I tried pain relievers, ice, and heat without much relief.  My parents even had me meet with a personal trainer who recommended that I use a hot tub.  The pain lasted over a month.  While my pain diminished, my back still felt weak and unstable.  I was unable to enjoy playing basketball for several weeks while my condition healed slowly.  If someone had only recommended that I see a chiropractor, I'm sure my condition would have gotten better faster.  I also believe that I wouldn't have the occasional back problems that I still have today.  If only I had known! ...read more.

As a kid, I never really knew what a chiropractor did other than “crack your bones,” but…

I struggled throughout high school with low back pain that never seemed to go away. I was 16 years old at the time and I couldn’t lift my right leg off the ground more than a foot without pain. It turns out I had a degenerated disc that was irreversible. I went to several medical doctors covering about 6 months with minimal relief. One of my relatives at the time was seeing a chiropractor and suggested that I give it a chance. I really had no idea what they did or what it was all about. Within 6 visits I was walking pain free and continued playing athletics. To this day I continue with weekly adjustments and I have had no complications related my low back. ...read more.

 Dr. Wood Asks some important questions of interest to La Crescent residents - Chiropractor La Crescent Dr. Wood Asks...

Could a chiropractor put an end to bedwetting?
If bladder control seems elusive, consider chiropractic. If spinal bones are interfering with nerves that control your child's bladder, plastic sheets, alarms and other methods simply add to the embarrassment. La Crescent parents are often amazed (and relieved) that chiropractic can be so helpful. Learn more.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a La Crescent parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
