Did you know that chiropractic dates back to the time of Hippocrates? He believed that if the spine was misaligned, it greatly contributed to the health of an individual. The modern day school of chiropractic dates back to 1895, when Dr. Daniel Palmer adjusted a man that had lost his hearing 17 years prior.
The story goes that prior to losing his hearing the man had heard something pop in his back. Upon the adjustment of the man's misaligned vertebrae his hearing greatly improved. While the medical community criticized this new technique for healing the body, the people who followed in these footsteps found an amazing new way of dealing with illness and disease.

Going to the Chiropractor is a new experience for many of us. Maybe we've heard through a friend or have done some research online. It's possible that you are just fed up with living in pain and it's time to do something about it. In either case, your first visit to the chiropractor will really be about getting to know the chiropractor and discussing your history, current condition and goals.
Adjustments, or manipulation as they're sometimes referred to, are the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident. When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system.
When patients take an x-ray, they worry the most about their exposure to radiation from the x-rays. Because we use an x-ray with high frequency, it emits the lowest possible amount of radiation. Especially for car and casualty accidents, if an accurate analysis is needed, we will use x-ray at the clinic using the Dicom system to get a digital x-ray.
Partial sit ups are recommended for people with back pain. The same muscle groups are worked out without putting stress on the lower back. You will start just like a regular sit up with your back on the floor, both feet on the floor, and your knees bent. Raise your head, neck, and shoulders off of the floor and hold that position for 5 seconds.
Orthotics are a great way to help with issues related to walking and alignment. Some of these include but are not limited to knee, foot and lower back pain. The need for orthotics is often related to an issue with the natural functioning of the foot. Orthotics will often help to realign the bones within the foot and ankle and therefore take pressure of other parts of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders and hips.

Dr. Yu was recommended to me by a close friend, and i am truly thankful because I thought I would live with lower back pain forever.
I saw improvement within a few visits and after a month I am pain free and can resume my daily activities.
I highly recommend visiting Dr.Yu, he is very professional and takes his patients seriously.

I have visited Maestro Chiropractic and Rehab for years and always found Dr. Yu so kind, helpful and empathetic!
Most recently, I had an unexpected back injury a week before going on vacation. Not only did he manage to squeeze me into his busy schedule 3 times in that week, he also alleviated my pain to a point where I can travel easily. So grateful to him!
I have some friends who also go to Dr. Yu, and they all have the same wonderful feedback for him.

Dr.Yu is great he detected and is working to correct my issues. He performed x-rays and detection procedures to give me a correct diagnosis. Before the treatment he sat me down and talked through what he can do do help correct my issues. He is very caring of his patients and kind too! The office is clean and nice staff as well.
