The results clearly showed that patients fared well with spinal manipulation, making it an excellent first line choice for acute cervical spine pain issues:

At the 12th week, 82 percent of people receiving spinal manipulation reported at least a 50 percent reduction in pain, compared with 69 percent of those on medication and 77 percent doing home exercises. Also at week 12, of people receiving spinal manipulation, 32 percent reported feeling a 100 percent reduction in pain, compared with 13 percent on medications and 30 percent doing home exercises.

Patients also benefited over time with home exercise, which chiropractors often also prescribe along with regular adjustments. Spinal manipulation and home exercise can lead to longer-lasting relief for neck pain, because functional issues are improved with regular adjustments and strengthening and stretching exercises.

Lynn began her yoga studies in 1996 and became a teacher in 1998, when she realized the positive impact practicing yoga had made on her life. She first became certified through Peachtree Yoga Center’s teaching program and shortly after discovered Iyengar Yoga and has been training and teaching in this method since 2000.

In addition to regular classes, Lynn teaches Pregnancy Yoga and Mom & Baby Yoga. She offers one-to-one instruction where an individualized practice is developed based on the student’s personal needs.  Private instruction is recommended for students who wish to work on specific issues (chronic pain, back, neck, knees,shoulders) and/or are seeking a therapeutic approach and would like more focused attention from a teacher.

Stress reduction and good sleep quality help with an overall positive feeling of well-being, can help alleviate discomfort and aid in speeding recovery time.

‎The study found that 90 percent of the patients’ chief complaint was pelvic pain; for 30 percent of the patients chiropractic was their first choice of treatment…The authors also found that the longer the patients waited to seek chiropractic care the more pain sites they experienced and the more areas of the spine were treated.

Dr. Young’s chiropractic specialties include pregnancy and post-partum care.  She is experienced in the Webster technique, which helps restore proper pelvic balance and function for pregnant mothers.  Other therapeutic support we provide includes:
