Our Story

Hands of Health Chiropractic was founded with a simple mission: to provide exceptional chiropractic care that puts people first.

Popular Home Remedies

Most athletes have a go-to toolkit for managing pain on their own: ice after hard sessions, heat before competition, pain medication for inflammation, lighter training when something flares up. Clinical guidelines support structured use of NSAIDs alongside PRICE protocols (protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation) as a reasonable first-line response. Massage therapy, compression gear, and kinesio tape have also become standard in a lot of training routines for day-to-day symptom management.

What does the research say

Home remedies are a reasonable starting point, but they have limits. A 2024 systematic review found that NSAIDs have not been proven to speed up healing or improve long-term outcomes, and some evidence points to potential delays in tissue repair with heavy use. They manage symptoms but not scar tissue buildup, restricted movement, and underlying biomechanical issues that keep injuries coming back. That’s where a proper assessment makes the difference.

Testimonial

Dr. Ana is amazing. Before I started going, I could barely stand up straight after getting out of car. With a little work, I can now easily get out of the car and stand straight up. Lower back pain has decreased a lot. Best Chiropractor in the High Desert. Everyone is friendly and treat you not just like another patient. Will continue going and highly recommend her. Keep up the good work!

Dennis N.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The staff is friendly, professional, and the treatment has significantly improved my back pain. Highly recommended.

Jessica M.

After only a few visits I noticed a huge improvement. I can finally sleep comfortably again and have much better mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Few things you might be wondering

1Is chiropractic care safe for sports injuries?

Yes. It's a non-invasive, drug-free approach trusted by athletes at every level. We assess your injury first and tailor every treatment to what your body can safely handle.

2Can chiropractic care help me avoid surgery?

Often, yes. Many soft-tissue and joint injuries resolve with conservative care before surgery is ever needed. We'll always give you an honest read on your options.

3How soon can I get back to my sport?

It depends on the injury, but recovery is usually faster when chiropractic care is paired with rehab exercises. We'll build a realistic timeline and won't rush your comeback.

4Do I have to be an athlete to benefit?

Not at all. Whether you're a competitor, a weekend warrior, or just active, the same care that helps athletes recover works for anyone dealing with strains, sprains, or overuse pain.
