Mosier-Timperley Chiropractic

You matter to us and we want to get to know you. And we want you to know our team too. The days of the cold detached doctor-patient relationship are very out of date. Our patients tell us one of the reasons they keep coming back is due to the relationship with our staff and the fact that everyone here truly cares about our patients-and it shows!

One of the most common reasons people turn to chiropractic care is to seek relief from pain or injury. Sometimes the pain is from an immediate or sudden event. Other times it's been something that's been building and building until finally it's painful or putting limitations on your daily life. In either case, we're here to help.

What exactly is a whiplash injury and how does chiropractic help relieve the discomfort caused by it? Chiropractic has been a blessing to millions of people who have suffered whiplash injuries. Most of whiplash sufferers have misaligned spinal bones (cervical vertebrae) and nerve, joint, ligament, tendon, muscle and disc stress, irritation or damage.

What Do Discs do And What Are They? These flexible, pads give your spine its curves and flexibility (a curved, flexible spine is much stronger than a straight, rigid one). Discs affect your height too-you are about 4" - 2" taller when you wake up than when you go to sleep. Why?

Because gravity thins your discs a little when you walk and sit during the day; discs expand a little while you lie in bed (that's why astronauts gain about one inch in height due to weightlessness).Disc degeneration may lead to irritation of spinal nerves and contribute to endometriosis, infections (bladder, vaginal, kidney), urinary retention, miscarriage, sterility, impotence, prostrate problems, cystitis, menstrual cramps or constipation.

Your amazing neck balances your heavy head as it turns, tilts and twists without damaging its vital occupants. Cervix, the Latin word for neck, means "a constricted area." The uterus and urinary bladders also have a neck or cervix as does that part of your body that connects your head to your torso.
