What Patients are saying about Sylvia:

"Sylvia has been a great asset to me. She explains what she is doing, also why she is doing it, what is being done, and then explains what the fianl effects should be. At the beginning of the session, she finds where the tenseness is. She then works on the problem until it is releived. the she works on my main problem that is my legs. When the session is over, I feel releived and look forward to my next session. I would recommend Sylvia to any person that is sincere and willing to work with her." Earl Trapp

 Dr. Michelle Asks some important questions of interest to Tucson residents - Chiropractor Tucson Dr. Michelle Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
