Back Pain
Back pain costs millions of dollars in lost work and much unnecessary suffering every day. Multiple factors can be responsible for back pain including improper sitting, lifting, over exertion and accumulative trauma, just to name a few.
If you are suffering with back pain which lasts for more than a few seconds, more than once per year, this is your body warning you of a problem which needs to be addressed.
Recent research shows that chiropractic care is the safest and most effective in the treatment of back pain, as compared to drugs and surgery. Between two vertebrae there are three joints- one in the middle called the disc, and two at the back of each vertebra, interlocking with the one above or below. When the spine moves out of alignment, the surfaces of these joints glide and can become rough, irritated or inflamed.
Dr. Goel is an expert in the care of your spinal column, joints, nerves, muscles and ligaments that make up 60% of your body. Your spinal column is part of this neuro-musculo-skeletal system and its optimal function is necessary for overall good health and well being. In our office, we check your spinal column and the other joints related to your health concerns to make sure all is functioning optimally and then, if need be, we will discuss the other pillars of well being, such as exercise recommendations, nutritional advice, and positive internal dialogue. These are all based on your age, your health history and your needs.
You do not need to suffer needlessly from lower back pain. There is an alternative to drugs and surgery.
Testimonials
I work out regularly at the gym and was feeling pain whenever I was doing squats. I also noticed that my skin was very dry and I was experiencing acne breakouts. I have been suffering with these problems for the past 5 years and have been to 3 doctors seeking relief.
Because of my problems, I was experiencing pain and discomfort when I was in a seated position, or doing lunges or when stretching. In as little as 2 weeks of chiropractic care, my skin has greatly improved because of Dr. Goel's recommendation to take Omega 3 oil. I was already taking acutane for the acne, but it was doing little good. In as little as 2 weeks, after starting the Omega 3, my skin dryness started going away and I noticed that my acne was decreasing.
My right knee no longer hurts when I'm doing squats at the gym and I no longer fear sitting down because I know I will have no pain when rising up.
Thank you Dr. Goel for allowing me to continue doing what I love. I look forward to many more positive results as we go along.

I first came to see Dr. Goel because of a very strong recommendation from my friend who has been her patient for over a year.
I was experiencing on and off back pain and also neck and shoulder pain. I have had these problems for at least the past 10 years. I was medicating myself with Tylenol whenever the pain became acute. I found that mornings were the most difficult times, as far as the pain, and therefore was unable to do any exercise or physical activity.
I am now only 1 month into my health care and am already seeing many improvements from my adjustments. I feel the positive energy rushing through my body. I feel that chiropractic care combined with the wellness philosophy taught by Dr. Goel, does make a considerable difference to my life.

Prior to the start of my care, I had severe lower back and neck pain. I was in such excruciating pain that I could hardly bend or keep my neck straight. My back and neck problems had existed off and on for about 13 years. I visited two doctors and received muscle relaxants to cope with the pain.
My normal life was interrupted every time I suffered an acute attack of pain. It would occur once every year or so but over the past year the pain was more persistent and more frequent. It seemed as though there was always a dull pain in my back. My neck pain was becoming more severe and I could never fully rotate from left to right and vice versa. The neck pain was something I had grown accustomed to and I didn't know how bad it really was until I had my first few adjustments with Dr. Goel and realized what 'normal movement' of the neck actually was. I had become very adept at living with the pain and avoiding doing things that would aggravate it.
Results were evident after only 4 visits. Chiropractic care has had a huge impact on my life. I was a skeptic, meaning that I was desperate for pain relief and viewed the chiropractor as a last resort. I come from a family of 3 medical doctors and 3 pharmacists so I never really valued or understood chiropractic care and how it impacts on one's well being. Since I've been under Dr. Goel's care I have noticed immense pain relief and also a general sense of happiness and well being. I have more energy, I am in a great mood, and I am sure that this is no co-coincidence that it happened while under Dr. Goel's care.
Thank you Dr. Goel

I first consulted with Dr. Goel complaining of a stiff and painful neck and lower back pain. I have suffered with these problems for the past 10 years. I had visited another chiropractor 15 years ago, but did not obtain much relief.
The quality of my life was interrupted in many ways. I had great difficulty while driving my car as I couldn't turn my neck to the left or right. At times it was very painful to get out of bed in the morning. After only 6 adjustments, my energy level has dramatically increased and I can finally carry my grocery bags without feeling any pain. Chiropractic is unfortunately not well known or recognized as a genuine treatment for many different reasons. Prescribed medication only covers up the problem, provides temporary relief and comes with side effects. Only a chiropractor like Dr. Goel can determine the root cause of your problem and start to return your good health. Thank you Dr. Goel. I am anxiously waiting to see the progress I make in the coming months.

For as long as I can remember I have had lower back pain. When I was younger I kept the pain under control through bodybuilding. Five years ago, this pain became severe and I also began to develop problematic pain in my pelvic area and neck. I was unable to look backwards or stretch sideways. I felt as if there was a knife wedged between my ribs on my right side.
I didn't take medication for this but went to physiotherapy for the last few years. This didn't help and I couldn't walk for more than 15 to 20 minutes without getting a sharp knife-like shooting pain along my lower back / pelvis and down the back of my thigh. My knees hurt when I climbed up stairs. I am only 37 years old and I was losing hope. The physio wasn't helping and I thought this was all due to aging and the trauma of childbirth with my daughter.
Then I met Dr. Goel and discovered chiropractic. Since I began my regular adjustments my neck is very loose and I can turn around and check my blind spots when I am driving. My husband doesn't have to pull me out of bed anymore and my feet are not stiff when I walk in the morning. The best result from my adjustments is that my lower back pain is no longer there...for the first time!! Thank you Dr. Goel for helping me on the right path to healing!

I decided to make a life change and became a patient of Dr. Goel. I hurt my back and I did what a lot of people did. I went to the doctor who prescribed medication to deal with the pain. What I didn't know then was that masking the pain was not dealing with the problem.
Years later my back pain resurfaced. Can you imagine, fifteen years after my accident my pain returned along with neck pain and I began to suffer from migraine headaches. I went to see a Neurologist who gave me medication for those headaches.
It was then that I decided to see Dr. Goel who for three months adjusted me. I did feel better and I thought that I didn't have to see a chiropractor again. I had a friend who was a patient of Dr.Goel and I would go with her to Dr.Goel's office while she was being adjusted. Divine intervention played a role when I decided to see Dr. Goel for preventative care- something I never knew about. She taught me that just because I had seen a chiropractor before for back pain didn't mean I shouldn't still be under care.
Immediately I felt a difference. Not only does Dr.Goel adjust me but I feel different mentally. She has taught me about living well, eating well, thinking well, exercising and the importance of receiving regular adjustments.. Dr.Goel and her staff are informative, professional ,efficient, courteous and friendly.
I am so glad that I decided to take that step and follow through with chiropractic care.
