I have been to Nick several times.
Once for my shoulder, once for my elbow, and most recently for my back and hip.
Each time that I’ve gone he has put very concentrated time and effort into determining my problem.
And then has solved each problem within a week.
I would highly recommend him for any injury that you have. He’s amazing!!!!!
He also cured my sons neck strain in literally one session.
He is very talented and super well worth your visit.

SITTING:
Sit as little as possible. Standing or lying down are preferable to sitting when in acute low back pain. If you must sit, sit only in a straight backed chair with good posture. Avoid couches or soft chairs. Use a towel roll to support the natural curve of your spine.
BENDING:
Do not bend forwards as in touching your toes when in acute low back pain—even if it feels like you are doing good by “stretching” the muscles of the low back. Rather than reaching down to get things, squat down using the legs and keep the back absolutely straight.
LYING:
Try to lie more on your stomach rather than on your back. Avoid the temptation to lie on your back with the head and knees propped up—this just rounds the back more and places inappropriate stress on injured structures.
EXERCISES:
You should stay normally active–in other words try not to stay in bed for long periods. Move around, take walk if you can. Do not do the knees to chest exercise you may have learned before. This is an advanced exercise and usually not appropriate for acute conditions. It is better in most cases to lie on your stomach and work towards supporting yourself on the elbows.

As cold weather arrives, do you notice more people sniffling and sneezing? Let’s look at a common health myth that is appropriate for our fall season: The common cold is caused by being cold. Your mom may have told you, “Put on a sweater or you will catch your death of a cold!” Most folks now realize that the cold is caught from a virus, not from ambient temperature. The cold viruses, or rhinoviruses, are passed through physical contact or proximity to infected people. Infected people can share their germs through coughing and sneezing.
So, science disproves that old myth that temperature creates illness. Those miserable sore throats, runny noses, and headaches are caused by the viruses themselves.
Mom may not have been entirely off base with her association, though! Cold viruses enter the human body through the nose. This is where our snot comes to the rescue, bundling up the viruses into an easily swallowed package that can be dropped into the caustic cauldron of the stomach where acid quickly degrades it. However, when we breathe cold air through our noses, the cooler temperature slows down the movement of the mucus. Since the snot cannot race to your rescue, the virus is more likely to enter the body through the mucus membranes and make you sick.
Also, cold viruses cannot survive high temperatures. Cold weather is the preferred climate for rhinoviruses, and they can flourish in autumn temperatures for a longer time. This improved survival rate increases the probability that a cold virus will be successfully passed from individual to individual.
So this myth is partially true – cold weather can increased your susceptibility to catching a cold from a virus by impairing your natural mucus defenses and boosting the survival rate of the virus.

This year has brought a lot of unknowns and increased patients’ fear to getting care they need.
You may have noticed that it is getting increasingly difficult for you to get the treatment you prescribe. This can only have negative effects on your overall health for the next few years to follow.

We promise to discharge you and refer you back to your most trusted health care provider for further evaluation if there is not significant improvement after 4 visits.
