"Dr. Desalvo is great! I hurt my back while working at the Oakland Zoo and was in too much pain to go back. My boyfriends Dad Scott Matthews recommended him to me and I am so grateful that he did! I am feeling better than I ever have and am sure when I go back to the zoo in the winter and with proper care that I will be able to do everything I did and more! Thank you so much Dr. DeSalvo and Staff you guys were amazing and so kind and helpful. =) I am also going to recommend to my Dad that he goes and see's a chiropractor for his back problems, you guys are miracle workers."

"I was starting to feel as though I was getting old. I had tennis elbow from working too much and lower back pain from an injury that I suffered twenty years ago. After a few weeks of care with Dr. DeSalvo, my tennis elbow is 90% healed which has allowed me to continue to work and my back pain has improved by 70%, something that I've been needing for twenty years. I can truly say that I'm not feeling as though I'm getting old any more. Dr. DeSalvo has given me a new lease on life. Thanks Doc.!"

"I was attracted to Dr. D's paractice because of the convenient location and the friendly staff. My complaint was chronic back pain. I was impressed by Dr. D's knowledge & experience. The equipment available in the office (xray, infra red, decompression table, weights, etc.) really made this a complete healing experience. He emphasized and directed core strengthening exercises right in the office. My back pain has been dramatically reduced. "

"I came to Dr. DeSalvo with migraine headaches. I had tried just about every treatment you can think of. I was down and out 3 - 5 days a week with migraines. Within the first week of seeing the Dr., my migraines are alleviated! Dr. Doug is an excellent Dr., a good listener, and a GREAT healer! I've gotten my life back! "

What to Expect When Visiting a Chiropractor

Spinal X-ray | Timothy Schaub | Chiropractor | Cortland NY13045

Chiropractic care is a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care and is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal (when the systems of the body are treated as a whole) complaints. Visited most commonly to treat back pain, neck pain and pain in the joints of the arms or legs, chiropractors examine, diagnose and treat these areas. Doctors of chiropractic can also treat patients with osteoarthritis, spinal disk conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains and strains.
