"...If you have pain you’ll be happy you went to this clinic. ..."
The best place to be ‘fixed’ in town for sure! I see Dr Grimes and Alec for chiro and IMS- whenever I’m suffering Grimes is always willing to sneak me in or help. The dry needling Alec does is a game changer when it came to my ongoing back pain. If you have pain you’ll be happy you went to this clinic. 6 stars!

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions are treated with Chiropractic?
Chiropractic has been known to be effective for acute and chronic low back pain, neck pain and headaches. It may also help tennis elbow and other sports injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, otitis media (ear infection), digestive problems and whiplash-related problems.
Is it safe for me?
Chiropractic is widely recognized as among the safest, and non-invasive ways to treat pain in the neck, head and back. Most patients experience relief after their first chiropractic adjustment. However, some experienced temporary pain and slight swelling after their first treatment. These minor adverse effects are typically short-lived.
How does it work?
Chiropractic adjustments are applied with expert care through manipulation to the areas that have failed to function or have abnormal movement patterns. Manipulation is administered to the affected areas which then lead to release of joint pressure; providing relief and helping ease the pain.
How many chiropractic sessions do I need?
The number of sessions needed and its result may vary by a lot of factors such as length of the condition, lifestyle and your commitment to your chiropractic schedules. For many patients, conditions such as common back pain, it only requires 3 visits or so to feel a noticeable difference.
What should I expect on my first visit?
Standard primary routine involves acquiring information prior to diagnosis or treatment. Complete medical history is needed. Physical, neurological and orthopedic examinations will be conducted. Postural and spinal analysis will be performed to evaluate the spine. Your following treatments will include adjustments, therapeutic treatments and ergonomic education.
