 DEGENERATION
 Regardless of age, when spinal damage goes uncorrected, the body deposits calcium on the surface of adjacent bones that aren't moving properly. If neglected long enough, this splinting effect can result in complete fusion. This worsening process is called Subluxation Degeneration and can occur throughout the spine. Researchers recognize several phases of spinal decay.

TESTIMONIALS
Headaches
Thanks to Chiropractic I don't take Tylenol any longer and my stomach problems have gone away as a result!
This is an incredible relief!
I came to see Dr. DeMoss three months ago for headaches and neck pain that was causing numbness in my right arm. The problems I had affected me daily and I was in a lot of pain. The only thing that I could do was take Tylenol, which was causing my stomach to hurt constantly. I used Tylenol 2-3 times per day, and it was taking its toll on me. Before I saw Dr. DeMoss, I went to another chiropractor that used electrical stimulation on my neck for 6 months with no significant results. My problems were not getting any better! My husband and I met Dr. DeMoss at our company health fair and arranged to come in and see him. He did a very thorough exam and took some x-rays, and even spent time after to explain the findings with me.
After visiting the office 3 times a week for about 3 months, I started noticing a great improvement.
My headaches have gone away completely!!
I am not dependant on Tylenol and my stomach problems caused by the drugs have subsided as well.
Thanks for the help Dr. DeMoss
Your patient,
Debra Velick
Bach pain, Neck pain, Asthma and Allergies
I'm very happy that I met Dr. DeMoss at our company health fair. When I consulted with the doctor I told him that I suffered from back pain, neck pain, headaches, allergies, and asthma.
After my exam and x-rays Dr. DeMoss told me that he could help!
When I first started Chiropractic, after my first adjustment, my allergies felt better and the back pain and headaches started to subside. After a few more adjustments I could really feel the difference and I felt so much better. I was able to stop taking Vicodin and I started to exercise again.
Now I don't have to take my asthma medication as much, and I have not had another severe asthma attack to the point that I needed to be rushed to the medical doctor for oxygen and placed on a breathing machine. I forgot to mention, I haven't had a sinus infection in over a year!! My sister is jealous because she suffers from asthma too. I told her she needs to see a chiropractor, and I hope she does.
With regular Chiropractic care I feel so much stronger and healthier. Whenever anyone complains of any aches or pains I tell them they need an adjustment and that chiropractic is the best thing that has happened to me!
Thanks Dr. Matt for all of your help!!
Headaches and lower back
Before I started coming to your office I was a mess. I would get these paralyzing migraine headaches and really uncomfortable lower back pain, it began a while ago as far as the back pain goes; I fell off a skateboard when I was five years old. As for the headaches those started when I got into college, and they seemed to get progressively worse as time went on it got so bad that my eyes would become very light sensitive and I would get really sick, and the back pain would make it hard to stand for more than ten minutes at a time without having a shooting pain up my spine. I his would make it very difficult to work at my job, because I would either have to leave early or call out sick all together.
I would take an aspirin and go to sleep after work until the pain subsided and I was able to function relatively normal again for a while until the pain came back. I could never get a good night's sleep because my back pain would always keep me from getting comfortable. I always wanted to get some chiropractic care, but I never knew where to go. I came to your office because my boss is under your care, as well as another co-worker. They both recommended your office to me.
My experience under your care has been nothing less than incredible, I couldn't have asked for any better treatment. The results I have had under your care have been amazing; I had no idea that my spinal misalignment had anything to do with my migraines until I came into your office. Since I started coming in I have not had a single migraine and my lower back pain had been reduced to a minimum. Ever since I started treatment at your office I am able to get a better night's sleep, I can complete a workout without any problems, and I can perform better at my job because I don't have to call out sick or leave early anymore.
I just want to say thank you so much for making my life a lot less painful and a little more relaxed. My fiancé wants to thank you too. He is just as grateful as I am for what you have done for me. I am going to start referring my friends and family to your office.
Headaches and neck pain
I met Dr. DeMoss in 1999 when I came to him with neck pain and headaches. Under his care I found relief from my pain and discovered an exciting and unexpected benefit from my chiropractic adjustments: ENERGY! I was filled with energy. Where once I was fatigued by noon and forced myself through my daily chores, I now breeze through the day. Instead of curling up in a chair after lunch for a nap I started going for long walks. I explored my neighborhood, got some fresh air and sunshine, and felt great. In the afternoons, I began to work in my yard mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, and tending to vegetables. To my surprise, even after a day full of physical activity, I wasn't tired. I had a seemingly endless supply of energy.
Another surprising "side affect" of my adjustments was a loss of excess weight! I had found it more and more difficult to maintain my desired weight, as I grew older. I gained weight easier than I used to and it was very difficult to get it off. After a few months of chiropractic care all the unwanted pounds just vanished! I weighed the same as I had when I was in high school.
Dr. DeMoss changed my life. The headaches are gone. I dropped two dress sizes. And I have more energy and stamina than I've ever had for many, many years. Best of all it was all from my body's own power, no drugs, no surgery, just gentle spinal adjustments. I feel like a kid again!

Many of the pain-sensing nerves of the spine are in the facet joints, the two interlocking "fingers" at the back of each spinal bone. The normally smooth surfaces on which these joints glide, can become rough, irritated, and inflamed.
