Our Green June: all the initiatives carried out The month of June is internationally dedicated to scoliosis and is represented with a green ribbon. Often, a diagnosis of scoliosis leads to despair and the fear of not being able to live one’s daily life because of wearing a brace. It is not so! We don’t want to say that it is easy or doesn’t require many sacrifices, but that despite the brace or wearing it, you can continue, for example, to practice sports. Even at a high competitive level, even with champion results, as in the case of the three stories we offer you in ..read more

Larry H. Local Guide • 17 reviews • 0 photos 5 Star Review  3/28/24 I have suffered from severe headaches for years. I hit the Internet to get the phone number of a chiropractor I had been using when I saw this ad about headache relief. I also checked their reviews he can work magic. I discovered that the bend in neck was backwards! After a few weeks of visits, he reversed it! That was a major thing and relieved my headaches! I love these folks as they are genuinely nice people! Thank you very much Dr Hartley and staff! BTW, this happened when I was 11 and in a horrific head-on, high ..read more

Scoliosis, a condition characterised by an abnormal curvature of the spine, is often associated with various physical manifestations. Among these is its potential impact on an individual’s height. On the flip side of this, the fast growth period of an adolescent can be associated with higher risk of progression of the scoliosis. Understanding the intricate relationship between scoliosis and height is crucial for both patients and healthcare professionals. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the complexities of this connection, exploring its implications and considerations. Understandin ..read more

Caroline S 5 reviews • 1 photo 5 star 5/8/24 Dr. Hartley’s office is the best I’ve ever been to. I have struggled for two years with a bad neck curve from a chronic condition which brings a lot of orthostatic pain. The summer before finding him I was going to another chiropractor, a physical therapist and a regular doctor and was still in constant pain even after a year of treatment. A week into my intensive treatment with Dr. Hartley the pain consistently has been minimal to none. And two months into treatment the bulge on my left shoulder from the curve has evened and I experience 90% less p ..read more

If the spine becomes excessively straight, this is contrary to its natural curved design. It’s the spine’s healthy curves that keep it flexible, strong, and able to handle stress from impact and movement. The position and alignment of the spine affects body position and posture, so one of the main effects of straight-back syndrome is postural deviation. The spine’s natural curves allow it to function optimally, but if the thoracic spine loses its healthy level of kyphosis and becomes excessively straight, this is known as straight back syndrome (SBS) and can be problematic. Before de ..read more
