Your nervous system is basically a big electrical circuit. Your spinal cord transmits all the electrical nerve impulses between your brain and spine. From there, individual nerves emerge from your spine then travel to supply sensation and movement to specific areas of your shoulders, arms, and hands. This allows you to move and feel sensations like touch, heat, cold, and pain. Anything that interferes with this transmission can cause problems.
This often results in pain numbness or tingling in the specific area of your arm or leg (often called Sciatica) that is supplied by the irritated nerve. Symptoms may vary from a dull ache to a constant severe sharp shooting pain and are likely aggravated by certain positions or movements.
To solve this problem, we will treat the source of your nerve irritation and can use a number of different methods to do so. It is important for you to follow your treatment plan closely and be sure to tell us immediately if you experience any progression of your arm or leg pain, numbness, or weakness.

I really love it here! They are very friendly and I feel Dr. Wilson is giving me great treatment! I also don’t feel pressured into coming back too frequently. The adjustments are great! Great office!
Dr. Matt and the entire staff have been GREAT! I went in for some issues I was having with my neck and back and Dr. Matt also helped me with some other issues I was having with my calf and shoulders that have made a HUGE improvement in my overall health and comfort.
I highly recommend using Dr. Matt!
Dr. Matt has done wonders for me and I recommend him highly – I can’t say enough good things about him. Dr. Matt and staff are good people and will take great care of you.
Dr. Wilson and Dr, Alec (PT) are both top-notch, and I’ve trusted my whole family with Dr. Matt Wilson for the last couple of years. My father was a chiropractor for over 40 years, so I knew what I was looking for, and he’s the best we’ve found in the area. Their approach is to get you feeling better, and not to string things out, costing you more time and money than necessary. While they have all the equipment necessary (x-ray, etc) they don’t push unneeded services or snake oils. Both are caring, competent, and compassionate. The staff is good about finding appointments when you need them, and scheduling you with multiple people in a visit whenever possible. The new building is clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. Wait times are short, too. My husband has also had a therapy-based deep tissue massage from one of the two new massage therapists, and said it really helped!
Dr. Matthew squeezed me in on short notice and took very good care of me. He was very thorough and didn’t just adjust me and let me walk out. Amazing experience here and the receptionist is a sweetheart.
Very professional and in depth consultation. These people seem to genuinely care about people’s health and progress.
