Many people come to me after an automobile accident. They say that they have headaches, neck pain, pain between the shoulder blades, and more. They went to the ER and were told everything was alright. The fine people at the ER are skilled when it comes to saving someone's life. When they say that nothing is wrong, they usually mean that nothing is bleeding, nothing is broken, and there is no disease.


In a whiplash injury, the ligaments that help hold up your head are stretched or torn. The head is heavy, and people (sometimes days later) realize that everything is NOT okay. At Stevens Creek Chiropractic, Dr. Levine and his team will help restore your strength, alignment and posture. With our help, you will get better.

Patients love our complete “spinal hygiene” treatments! Prior to the adjustment, you will receive a mechanical massage ("Thumper") and/or a therapeutic treatment (Migun table, wiggler, or traction). After the adjustment, Dr. Levine will often recommend specific home exercises to maintain proper alignment. This full-service treatment can be life-changing when it comes to achieving optimal wellness.

Back Pain

If you are living with chronic back pain in San Jose then you know it's no walk in the park. Almost everyone will experience some form of back pain, ranging from slightly irritating to completely debilitating, in their lifetime. Most often if you have back pain that recurs or sticks around for more than 3 days, you are dealing with a structural or mechanical problem. Drugs and rest may help a tight muscle or inflammation, but only chiropractic addresses the structure. We aim to help you understand what causes low back pain, and how chiropractic treatment can help you achieve lasting back health, so that you can go on enjoying those walks in the park.

Headaches & Migraines

Headaches are not fun, and migraines are another level of awful. Living with either of these issues can make you feel grumpy and, in the worst-case scenario, leave you unable to function. Medication can help in the short term but when the problem is ongoing or recurring, pills are not enough. Oftentimes, the source of your headaches and migraines is structural; therefore, with proper treatment, it is possible to permanently overcome this debilitating issue. Dr Levine has had tremendous success with headaches of all kinds, and this may be the solution that will end your ongoing headaches and migraines.


Neck Pain

If you read Dr. Levine’s bio, you know that neck pain is what got him into this field. Neck pain can make even the simplest of movements involving the neck, head, arms, shoulders and back excruciatingly difficult. It can lead to headaches and difficulty using your body at all. Immobility caused by neck pain can cause the muscles to become weak and to degenerate over time. Understanding the root of your neck pain is a necessary step towards acquiring the treatment that will be effective in both short- and long-term recovery. Chiropractic is the non-drug, non-surgical solution to neck pain.

Sciatica

If you are experiencing pain that radiates from the back or buttocks, all the way down the legs, you may have a common condition called Sciatica. Many people in San Jose suffer with the pain of sciatica, and many never achieve a long-term solution. An untreated sciatic condition can continue to worsen and make the daily tasks of living go from difficult to impossible. Our team will assist you in conquering sciatica by delivering effective chiropractic treatment aimed at overcoming it. Sciatica can be caused by a variety of conditions from disc injury to pelvic torque to chronic muscle spasms. Dr. Levine and his team can identify the source and effectively treat the condition.

Scoliosis

Any deviation of the spine from side to side is considered scoliosis. It may be from a deformity, from an injury, or even from poor ergonomics. Dr. Levine and his staff can help restore proper motion throughout the spine and then give specific exercises which help the spine function at its best and reduce or eliminate the progression of scoliosis.

Your discs are alive, yet they have no blood supply. The discs depend on the motion of the body to get nutrients and get rid of waste. When injured, they tend to move less, causing even more disc injury. Spinal decompression can stop and even reverse this vicious cycle.

Disc injury

Disc injuries can be the most painful, since we are dealing directly with nerve pain. Dr. Levine uses Flexion Distraction lumbar traction to reduce the pressure on the disc. He uses specific chiropractic adjustments to restore alignment and proper motion throughout the spine and pelvic regions. His team will help you learn exercises so that you can hold your body up with muscles and not be bone on bone. We have helped thousands of people with disc injuries live normal, pain-free lives.

Whiplash

Car accidents can be one of the most frightening and confusing experiences that a person can go through. Often the first things people are concerned about after an automobile accident are the damage to their vehicle and their insurance coverage. This results in their neglecting the most important part: their health. Seeking proper care in a timely fashion is the most vital aspect in determining the effects of the accident and quickly addressing them so as to achieve an optimal outcome. Seeking care immediately after an automobile accident can mean the difference between recovery and a lifetime of pain. If you have been in a car accident or know someone who has, please contact our team at Stevens Creek Chiropractic as soon as possible to book a consultation.

Sports injuries can cause misalignment of the spine, hips and shoulders, putting stress on the knees, ankles, wrists and elbows. These very same misalignments thus cause even more injury and chronic problems. Dr. Levine treats all of these joints. Patients find that what once was a chronic issue (such as tennis elbow or sprained ankle) does not recur as it did before.

Arm & Leg Pain

The shoulder and hip joints are two of the most mobile and frequently used joints in the body. They are also a frequent site of injury and pain for many people in and around San Jose. From overuse to sports injuries, the causes are many and the results range from slight discomfort to complete immobilization. We can help you and give you information on some of the most common issues that lead to shoulder and leg pain, as well as explaining how chiropractic adjustments can aid in reversing it.

Shoulder Pain

We don't think much about our shoulders until they start to give us pain. Then we realize that we are constantly using our shoulders to lift and extend our arms, to carry, wave and perform numerous other motions and tasks. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, and, as such, is subject to a wide range of injuries and conditions. Shoulder problems that go unchecked can lead to lifelong, debilitating issues. In order to properly treat the shoulder joint and achieve long term relief it is important to identify the cause of shoulder pain. We can show you how chiropractic care can return the shoulder to functional health.


Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a painful condition that happens when the median nerve in your wrist is compressed by swelling, often due to an underlying medical condition. It is one of the most common conditions affecting the nerves. Traditionally, there were few options to deal with this problem, and those available (such as surgery and medication) were invasive and expensive. Fortunately, chiropractors are now having success treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with a more conservative and gentle approach. If you are wondering whether your wrist pain is caused by Carpal Tunnel and want more details on the alternative treatment available from our chiropractors, contact us to book a consult.

Chiropractic Care For Kids

A child's nervous system is the controller and regulator of all the other systems in their growing body. From blood flow to brain function and bone growth, the nervous system plays a central role in keeping things working and healthy. Stress and misalignment of the spine can have serious impacts on your child's overall health, behavior and development. Chiropractic care is a gentle and non-invasive therapy that works to correct underlying issues before they become hard-wired in during development, providing support for a pain-free and successful childhood.


Pregnancy

The physical stress of pregnancy can lead to a great deal of discomfort. It's common for women to complain of low back pain while pregnant, as well as related issues, such as sciatica, leg cramps and constipation. This can lead to difficulty performing daily routines as well as difficulties in labor. Chiropractic treatment for pregnancy is an outstanding source of relief for back pain. Many women also comment that the birth process was easier after having chiropractic treatments. We can help you with the discomfort caused by pregnancy and explain exactly how chiropractic can help.


Wellness Care

Just because you don't feel sick does not mean you feel as great as you could. Far too many people wait until they are sick to begin taking excellent care of their health. It is common in our culture to accept a slow decline in health as we age, but it is also unnecessary. We now have information and advances in the field of health and wellness to live a life of optimal health which, contrary to popular belief, can actually get better as we grow older. We will walk you through some of the common beliefs about health and you can find out how chiropractic medicine can be an important part of your preventative wellness care plan.
