Dr. Phil & Dr. Jessica Szalowski It is the mission of our office to provide the highest quality Chiropractic care available. We do this by not only treating symptoms, but also seeking out and eliminating the cause of illness and disease so that the body can heal from the inside out. Through patient education, community lectures and service we strive to enhance general healthcare awareness so that people can live longer, happier, healthier lives.

Our Health and Multiple Choice
Have you ever taken a test in school that was "multiple choice"? If you were like most of us, you preferred multiple choice tests because-well-because we knew they were easier than essays for one thing. Also, we knew if we had any kind of working knowledge about the test topics, we could eliminate some answers and narrow it down to one obvious answer. Usually. There was always that one teacher who gave us a choice of one obviously wrong answer and two or three that we couldn't figure out... We had to have the "best choice" right answer; the next to the best wasn't good enough, but, unfortunately, it wasn't as obvious as we hoped. We couldn't fake our way through.


Just Thinking About Headaches is Depressing
Talk about a downward spiral! Most people would agree that being in pain is upsetting. One type of pain, in particular, creates a mental felling of helplessness. That pain is headache pain. It's terribly difficult to determine which comes first, the headache or the distress. What's certain is, once the headache starts, the distress is sure to follow. This added stress frequently increases the pain that increases the stress, thus creating a vicious downward spiral, when your head hurts, it's hard just to think straight. Headaches that are frequent or last for days, sometimes with no relief, easily cause depression.


Don't Let Travel Be Pain in
"Prolonged sitting can wreak havoc on your body," says Dr. Bautch, president of the American Chiropractic Association's Council on Occupation Health. "Even if you travel in the most comfortable car or opt to fly first class, certain pressures and forces from awkward positions can result in restricted blood flow. One of the biggest insults to your system from prolonged sitting is the build up of pressure in the blood vessels in your lower legs."


Caution: Low Shoulder
"Caution: Low Shoulder" is an obvious danger sign. On the highway, it means to watch where you're going. If you get too close to the side of the road, you'll slide off into the ditch where you might get stuck or even roll your car. When you have a low shoulder, you may be in danger of sliding off into ill health. A low shoulder can often indicate a musculo-skeletal (muscles and the bones they're attached to) imbalance that can create functional problems, as well as, pain.
