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.
Lumbar Stabilization
The key to lumbar stabilization is achieving a "neutral spine" position. The neutral spine position is that which is the least painful but most sound posture for your lower back.
When your spine is in a neutral position:
- The discs and vertebrae are able to absorb shocks and other forces acting on the spine in an optimal way.
- There is less tension on the ligaments and joints of your spine.
- Your posture is centered.
Lumbar stabilization helps you:
- Better control the movements affecting your spine
- Heal muscle strains, sprains, and damaged ligaments
- Know how to avoid future injuries
- Reduce pain in your lower back
