Chiropractic care is at the forefront to treat musculoskeletal pain, including neck and back pain. There are many therapy options that we use to treat chronic pain. Dr. John Hickey utilizes diagnostic image to assess red flag conditions, ligament damage, and spinal function to best reach our treatment goals. To reach patient goals, we use manipulation, soft tissue therapies, cold laser therapy, and active rehabilitation exercises.A Different ApproachAt a recent seminar Dr. John Hickey attended, he learned about how hormones and pain are connected. Chronic pain medication will have adverse effects on the bodys ability to handle pain, respond to stressful, situations, and reduce hormone functions in the body. This is why there are often many other conditions that accompany chronic opioid use, including thyroid issues, diabetes, weight management issues, male and female sex hormone issues, cancers and digestive issues. By taking a holistic approach, doing a comprehensive exam and running hormone lab panel, we can see how much of an influence the endocrine system is having on these long term symptoms.It is critical to get the body's powerhouse, the endocrine system, working properly, especially when people are trying to reduce their dependency on prescription pain medication. As a non-prescribing doctor, I use diet, supplementation, and low dose OTCs to encourage the body to heal on its own. Given the right environment, lifestyle, dietary intake and supplementation, the body does amazing things. Call Dr. John Hickey today for all your chiropractic, nutrition and wellness needs.

Callie was born and raised on a farm in Idaho. The independent spirit of the West stayed with her when she attended MSU in Bozeman, hence the 406 area code. But her roots are native to Boise. My areas of interest include the treatment of trauma, mental / emotional instabilities, pediatrics, chronic and difficult diseases, autoimmune disorders and acute / chronic pain. In the treatment room I draw upon my toolbox to incorporate acupuncture, shiatsu, craniosacral therapy, non-needle shonishin acupuncture tools, aromatherapy, cupping, sound, herbs, nutrition / lifestyle guidance, and more.
