Neck and head
Headaches are often driven from here, which is why we treat the neck and not the symptom.

Conditions We Treat in St. Augustine, FL
Most people arrive knowing where it hurts rather than what it is called. That is the right way round: naming the problem is our job, and it is what the first visit is for. Below is what we treat most, and underneath each one is a page explaining what causes it and how it gets treated here.
Start where it hurts
Pick the region.
We will tell you why.
Mid back
Where posture breaks down, and where a golf swing loses rotation before the low back pays for it.
- Upper back pain
- Posture correction
- Rib and shoulder mechanics
- Golf rotation limits
Low back
The region the DRX9000 decompression table was brought in for.
- Lower back pain
- Herniated and bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica
Hips and pelvis
Custom orthotics start here, because a correction that ignores the ground does not hold.
- Hip pain
- Prenatal and postpartum discomfort
- Gait and arch problems
- Leg length imbalance
Every condition we treat
Sciatica Nerve pain that travels down the leg, treated at the disc that is causing it. Read about sciatica 
Back and Hip Pain Upper back, lower back and hip pain traced to the joint that is actually failing. Read about back and hip pain 
Auto Injury Whiplash and crash-related spinal injury care, documented for your claim. Read about auto injury 
Neck and Shoulder Pain Desk posture, tech neck and shoulder mechanics, retrained not just relieved. Read about neck and shoulder pain 
Headaches Tension and cervicogenic headaches driven by the neck, treated at the source. Read about headaches 
Posture Correction Chronic pain from poor posture, corrected with structure and repetition. Read about posture correction Not sure which one you are?
That is the normal state of affairs, and it is not something you need to solve before booking. Hip pain and low back pain get mistaken for each other constantly. A headache can be driven from the neck. Leg pain can come from a disc, from the joint at the base of the spine, or from a muscle deep in the buttock, and all three are treated differently. Pain is a poor guide to its own source, and the MedlinePlus index of bone, joint and muscle conditions gives a sense of how many different things present the same way.

Questions we get asked
What if my problem is not on this list?
These six are the ones people search for and the ones we see most, not the limit of what we treat. If your problem is musculoskeletal and you can point to it, book the evaluation and we will tell you honestly whether it is something we can help with or something that belongs with a medical provider.
Do I need to know what is wrong before I book?
No, and it is better if you do not guess. Everyone starts with the same $47 evaluation, and working out which structure is actually generating your pain is the product of that visit. Self-diagnosing before an exam is how people end up paying for the wrong treatment.
What is a red flag in chiropractic?
Signs that point away from a mechanical problem and toward something needing medical assessment: numbness in the groin or inner thighs, loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive weakness, unexplained weight loss, fever with back pain, or pain following significant trauma. We screen for all of those at the first visit, and any of them means a referral rather than a treatment plan.
Can a chiropractor fix a pinched nerve?
Often, when the nerve is being compressed by something conservative care can unload: a restricted joint, a tight muscle, or a disc that responds to decompression. Whether that is your situation is what the examination and, where warranted, imaging are for. Progressive neurological loss is the exception and needs a medical opinion first.
How long before I feel a difference?
It varies with the cause and how long it has been there. Some patients notice improvement within the first few visits, while more complex issues require an ongoing treatment plan. You get an expected timeline at the findings review rather than a number chosen to sound encouraging.
