Over 13 years of chiropractic practice, I've seen a lot of patients who suffer from migraines. They can be incredibly difficult to get rid of with conventional medical treatments, which basically amount to medications to either prevent them from occurring or reducing them when they appear. Both of these options are only covering up the symptom of pain, instead of actually getting to the root of the problem. Unfortunately, these medications have such a long list of side effects it would take me a full page to list them.

Work Related Injury
Injuries occur everywhere and the basic lessons for industrial safety are developed through actual work experiences. Sometimes work injuries are both painful and personal.
Others are observed when they happen to those around us. Hillside Chiropractic can provide a one-stop approach to work injury management.
Our staff, having dealt with work injuries for many years, has developed a specialized "team approach" and it's keyed to prevention and treatment. Our office serves employers both as consultant and treatment provider. Community based clinics offer convenient access to employees.
With a range of specialized services we provide meet the needs of employers concerned about possible lost time and work injuries. Treatment specialty services include our A.R.T. treatments, orthopedic, chiropractic, as well as physiotherapy and massage therapy.
Many work injuries are the result of unavoidable accidents; however, all too often they occur as the result of simple errors and inattention to surroundings. It doesn't take a "hazardous" work site to cause serious injuries. Awareness is the key to job safety. Hillside Chiropractic aids its clients by pinpointing common causes of work injuries and providing the exact care needed. The combination helps prevent injuries, then insures prompt recovery and return to work.
Hillside Chiropractic has developed one-stop protocols for work related injuries. These include a detailed assessment of the injury, evaluation of the disorder and a treatment plan designed to prevent long-term pain and discomfort. Although many work injuries appear minor, employers generally insist on careful examinations and clear understanding of prognosis.
Immediate, same day appointments can be arranged in emergency situations.
All too frequently, long-term health problems are initiated by injury that's been termed relatively minor. The body can screen serious soft tissue damage to muscles and tendons. Whiplash from work related slips and falls, in particular, might be overlooked by family practice or emergency room doctors. When physical therapy is required we will provide back strengthening rehabilitation programs.
