Continually wearing the wrong items, such as a heavy backpack or bag on one shoulder, can cause injury to your health.

You probably wouldn't connect getting ill with what you wear, but perhaps you should. When it comes to being healthy, you probably don't give your clothes or accessories a second thought.

"My daughter is 15 years old. She is in volleyball; she is very active. She runs and jumps on the trampoline. She is in volleyball and an active Sports person. I brought her to Dr. Powers because her spine is curved somewhat, she has bad knees, and flat feet. Since she has been coming here, she is also learning a lot and he is very thorough with her and explains how this goes with that, and that's why this is occurring. She really likes him, and we will keep coming here for future appointments as it helps her a lot.Keep up the great work.YMI enjoy coming here. Dr Powers is very comprehensive and explains everything, and I learn so much when I come here for my appointments. My back, neck, arm, groin, and ankle were in so much pain and thanks to him and his assistant it is getting better. I wish he was able to be my primary doctor and I will continue to keep coming to Future appointments so I continue to feel better. Thank you guys! Dr Powers and Terri... You are amazing!!"

"I was in a car accident in November that left me with back and shoulder pain. After going to see Dr. Powers I felt so much better, I could feel the difference before walking out of my appointments. He tailors his treatment for what works best for you and gives you great tips and advice to help you heal. I would recommend him to anybody!"
