Recently I became certified in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology through the Spine Research Institute of San Diego (SRISD), a research center devoted to the investigation of motor vehicle crash injury. As part of this intensive 48-hour training program, I became familiar with the epidemiology of whiplash and brain injuries, the mechanical factors of motor vehicle crashes, and the wide range of physical injuries and clinical conditions that can occur. Dr. Croft of SRISD trained his students on how to provide patients with the most effective and comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation strategies to ensure optimal outcome potential.

I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1986 and have practiced in Monroe since 1993. I have a family wellness based office and care for infants to the elderly. I am very thorough at what I do because I take a person health very seriously. I have been trained in spinal, extremity and cranial adjusting. I work on auto, sports and on the job injuries. So if you are looking for a doctor that will look at getting to the cause of your problem(s) and help you to understand more about your health then give us a call.

Chiropractic in Mount Vernon - is it right for me?
Mount Vernon Chiropractors specialize in the interactions between our nerves, muscles and skeleton and their effects on our general health. They diagnose problems and use manual therapy, including joint adjustment and manipulation, to prevent and treat them.

Many people who seek Mount Vernon chiropractic care do so for help with back pain, especially lower back pain, neck pain and headache. Spinal adjustment in Mount Vernon or chiropractic adjustment is the most common method of treatment--it refers to the manual adjustment by the chiropractor of the three-joint complex at the base of your spine with sufficient force to create a sensation of 'release', increasing the joint's range and reducing pain.

A treatment plan may involve one or more manual adjustments. Many chiropractors in Mount Vernon also incorporate nutritional counseling, exercise or rehabilitation into the treatment plan.

How is a Chiropractor licensed?
The Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) in Mount Vernon must complete four academic years at a school accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, as well as a one-year internship at an outpatient clinic owned and run by a chiropractic college. They are tested and certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and licensed by the state in which they practice. To maintain licensure in most states, practitioners must complete a certain number of continuing education hours annually.

There are several schools of chiropractic adjustment techniques, although most chiropractors mix techniques from several schools. Some Applied Kinesiologists in Mount Vernon are qualified as Chiropractors.
