PRESCRIPTION PAIN KILLERS NOW THE LEADING CAUSE OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH IN THE U.S.

Posted on April 24, 2013 by shc

Research by the National Center for Health Statistics show that drug poisoning is now a more common way to die than being killed in an automobile accident. This despite the rising number of drivers and cars on the road. Additionally, a June 2004 study in JMPT (Journal of Manipulative and Physical Therapeutics) showed that people under Chiropractic care use 53% less drugs than people NOT under Chiropractic care. So, for most people, most of the time, a conservative trial of Chiropractic care is certainly warranted. Safer, more effective, how can we help YOU?

I feel better than I have in weeks – maybe months.

Posted on January 3, 2013 by shc

I feel better than I have in weeks – maybe months….Yesterday, as you adjusted my neck, I felt everything sliding/clicking into alignment, and I also felt immediately relaxed, as if under the effect of an instant narcotic that made it impossible to hold my body as rigidly as I have been, tensed for a blow, for months. And it lasted overnight. And I slept for six hours without waking up, a rare occurrence.

So: thank you.

Which Doctor you see first can influence surgery

Posted on December 21, 2012 by shc

In back and neck pain suffer’s, surgery is usually the LAST resort, only considered when all other conservative measures have been tried. A recent study in SPINE magazine found that 42.7% of workers who first saw a surgeon ended in surgery, as opposed to only 1.5% of those who (first) saw a chiropractor. Know before you go and chose wisely….

The authors conclude: “There was a very strong association between surgery and first provider seen for the injury, even after adjustment for other important variables.”

can’t recommend Dr. Howard-Cooper enough…The process is painless

Posted on October 21, 2012 by shc

I had never been to a chiropractor prior to seeing Dr. Howard-Cooper, and I don’t know how I’ve survived. I can’t recommend Dr. Howard-Cooper enough, his office is warm and inviting, and he is very thorough and knowledgeable. He explains everything in a way that you can understand, and he encourages you to ask questions. The process is painless, and afterwards you feel brand new! I look forward to going to my appointments because I can really tell a difference in my condition already, and I can only imagine how I will improve if I continue to go. I highly suggest you make an appointment with Dr. Howard-Cooper., his office is warm and inviting, and he is very thorough and knowledgeable. He explains everything in a way that you can understand, and he encourages you to ask questions. The process if painless, and afterwards you feel brand new!

…effectively treated my pain after dislocating my shoulder…..

Posted on September 18, 2012 by shc

“Dr. Howard-Cooper is a gifted practitioner- he takes time to listen, is intelligent and caring, and is able to provide both structured guidance and overall support to his patients. He uses a variety of techniques tailored to the patient, is up-front about prognosis and length of treatment, and is always happy to answer questions or share a joke. I had the most wonderful experience with him (sadly have moved from NYC), he treated my original issue very effectively (pain and structural issues after dislocating my shoulder), and recommend him wholeheartedly at every chance. His staff is delightful, every visit worthwhile, and I can say without reservation that he is the best I’ve ever seen!”

Saved me from having hand / carpal tunnel surgery…

Posted on September 18, 2012 by shc

“I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Howard-Cooper. In short, he saved me from having hand / carpal tunnel surgery. The MD was all ready to cut, and as a last resort I saw Dr H-C. After several visits, the pain disappeared, and I’ve remained pain free since (12+ months & running). I was initially skeptical about chiropractic, but no longer.”
