I first had a consultation with chiropractor, Dr. Brenda Rooney, regarding waking up with neck stiffness resulting in headaches as well as experiencing pain in the middle of my back.

Doctor Brenda Rooney, of Optimal Family Chiropractic, has a passion for healing her patients. Rooney encourages patients to be participants in their healing process and educates about Wellness programs through chiropractic care.
Spinal manipulation can relieve some types of back and neck pain and other conditions related to tightness and loss of mobility, such as tension headache or aching in muscles and joints. Massage may be as effective as cervical manipulation in relieving tension headache. And physical therapy techniques may be as effective as spinal manipulation in long-term relief of back pain. Chiropractic care can offer all of these modalities, when appropriate, and provide patients with a choice.
Optimal Family Chiropractic can also offer basic advice about nutrition, weight loss, exercise, ergonomics, relaxation techniques, body mechanics, home care (such as use of hot or cold packs), massage, and other self-help measures that might help relieve or prevent common aches and pains.
