In some ways, one could say that chiropractic care is a bit like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work together correctly. When building a house, if you tried to build your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse.

After searching around for practitioners for the last 13 years to help manage my chronic issues from a life of playing sports I've learned that the Gonstead method of chiropractic is the most effective and trustworthy. I was thrilled to find Dr Borges locally with 36 years experience as a Gonstead expert. Everything he's said fits with what I've learned about my body and his treatment has been very effective so far. Totally recommend his practice.

Earlier this year I had a serious problem with my sciatic nerve that had me unable to walk or drive, and I am a professional driver. The local emergency hospital couldn't resolve what was causing my semi-paralyzed state, I thought it might have been my kidneys because of where most of the pain was located at. I called Dr. Borges to see if maybe he could help, and of course he immediately began a program of adjustments to my lower back after explaining to me that my problem was caused by the sciatic nerve being pinched. After a week of adjustments I was able to begin walking and sitting again with

Borges Chiropractic is wonderful! I was injured and unable to work for 3 years but with the help of Dr. David and Dr. Karen I healed and was able to return to work. I know that without their help I wouldn't be working today. The doctors and their entire staff create a warm and very caring atmosphere.
