Rancho Penasquitos Chiropractor

Hello
Welcome to my page. I am a chiropractor located on Poway Road at 13248 Suite B. We help patients who suffer from neck pain, back pain, headaches, migraines, numbness and tingling in the hands, sciatica, musculo-skeletal problems and many other ailments.

Many times people feel as if they have some muscle problem that may be going on for years and what they don't realize is that it is really a nerve problem that just seems like a muscle problem. So they will take pain medication, get a massage, stretch their muscles and it might help temporarily but ultimately the problem returns. What I do through chiropractic adjustments is to help realign the spine so that the nerves are not pinched and then the nerve impulses can go where they are supposed to go.

One of the reasons why patients may suffer from low back pain is because the have what is called an anatomical short leg. There are two types of short legs anatomical and functional. A functional short leg is when one of the muscle is contracted and causes the feet to be different on a leg length check. An anatomical short leg is something that shows up when an X-ray film is taken. Some times if the difference is large enough a heel lift for the shoe may be warranted. When you put in heal lifts and there is a large difference say 15 mm it is important to start off slowly. Start with a 3 mm lift then go to a 6 mm lift then 9 mm and then a 12 mm lift. If start of with the 12 mm lift you can actually be causing more problems in the low back because the body in no use to such a sudden change. That is why it is always important to gradually increase the lift height. For more information about your chiropractic needs call Dr Rode at Rode Chiropractic in Poway CA 858-391-1372
