- Spinal misalignments affecting nerve function
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Disc degeneration and arthritis
- Muscle tension and inflammation
- Poor posture and prolonged sitting
- Repetitive movements or overuse
- Injuries from lifting, sports, or accidents
- Sciatica or nerve compression

Success Stories
Dr. Collins is a magician. Went in with slipped disk, could barely walk for a week or two. He had me feeling better that day and after a few visits back to 100%. Anytime I feel the slightest back pain I head in that day. Usually has same day bookings. A quick stop by and the back is feeling perfect again. I’m sure he can’t fix everything, but if you throw your back out like I did, the shooting nerve pain was gone that day. I can’t recommend him enough.

I came to see Dr. Collins because he is my go to guy for my sciatica. His expertise is really appreciated and I will come back again.

The numbness and tingling is completely gone! My lower back pain is almost completely gone – I can lie down and fall asleep now! I feel my upperback is much stronger and no longer uncomfortable. Overall I feel much more comfortable in all activities. I’m sleeping better and feel more awake. I’m also more conscious of my back as I feel I’m learning more about my body.

I had so much pain in my right hand that I could not hold a pen or cup. My MD told me I had carpal tunnel and told me to wear a hand brace and take prescription anti-inflammatory medication. I did not know what to expect when i saw a chiropractor for the first time, however Dr. Collins was very calming and informative. Nothing he did in my treatment was painful. Within just a few visits my hand was actually better! Dr. Collins knew I did not have carpal tunnel. he actually had me x-rayed (which my MD never did) and found that I had degeneration in my neck. The bone spurs were pressing on the nerve that affected my whole arm. That was ten years ago. As I have aged, a few more symptoms have cropped up but Dr. Collins has always “nipped them in the bud”. Dr. Collins also makes sure that your emotional health stays in good working order along with the physical.

I came to Dr. Collins when I was experiencing numbness and pain throughout my body. It was assessed by Dr. Collins that the issue was due to my neck. Since seeing Dr. Collins, in a short time span I have felt no more numbness and greater strength and flexibility in my neck. I have a great debt of gratitude to Dr. Collins for everything he has done for me.
