Worlds greatest and most dedicated health practitioner on earth. No one will spend more time and effort on your health issue. She miraculously traced my problem to an old root canal job. And then recommended a fantastic dentist. Thanks Dr Collins! And I love your office with all the good stuff.

Mr. Hip ‎ - May 19, 2011

I was referred to Dr. Collins by a friend of mine. I was having low back pain and left hip pain. Through his ability to accurate diagnose my condition, he was able to help me with my low back pain. Concering my hip, I had a congential condtion that required specialist. Dr. Collins referred me to a hip specialist who told me that I would need surgery immediately. If it was not for Dr. Collins, I would not be able to walk today.Not only is Dr. Collins a great doctor, but he also knows when to refer to a specialist. Thank you Dr. Collins taking care of my back and also referring to a specialist for my hip.

A couple of years ago I was in class and turned around to give someone some papers. I was in the process of turning back around when my neck became stiff and I couldn't move it. It was very painful. I went to Dr. Collins and after he treated me I was much better. If anyone is looking for a chiropractor you need to go see Dr. Collins!!

Go to Dr. Collins, he is excellent. I was having serve pain in my neck and was going to my medical docotr who was only giving me pain medication. After a year, my sister refered me to Dr. Collins. After my first visit with Dr. Collins, I was able to move my neck and finally get a restful night sleep. I would tell anyone, if you are looking for a doctor, see Dr. Collins. I feel renewed.

Elbow Pain

If you experience pain in your elbow, chances are very good it was incurred in an injury or physical activity, such as exercise or sports. Here's a look at some types of elbow pain:
  • "Golfer's elbow" is a type of elbow pain that originates near the inside part of the bony protrusion. This type of pain is also caused by a tear or rupture in the tendon supporting the elbow bone.
  • "Locked elbow" is a type of pain that occurs when the elbow bones or their surrounding muscle fibers become stiff or immobile from disease or injury.
  • "Student's elbow" is another term for bursitis, or swollen sacks under the elbow joint. This is often caused by repeated rubbing of the elbow on a hard surface, such as a desk.
  • "Tennis elbow" is a layman's term for pain on the lateral, or outside part of the elbow, on or near the bony protrusion. Tennis elbow is caused when the tendon from the elbow bone tears or is ruptured. It's no surprise that professional tennis players can become afflicted by this with all of the stress and strain they place on the joint during play.
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome, while chiefly affecting the wrist, can cause elbow pain if an inflamed tendon pinches a nerve going to the elbow.
  • Tendonitis can cause elbow pain and is caused by an elbow tendon that has become swollen or inflamed when the forearm tendon is damaged.
