Symptoms May Not Appear Immediately

Common symptoms after an accident include:

Neck pain
Whiplash
Headaches
Back pain

Numbness or tingling

WHAT IS WHIPLASH?

Whiplash occurs when the head is rapidly forced forward and backward during an accident.

I have been going to La Starza Wellness for about 90 days with a neck and back issue. Dr. La Starza was able to help me with mobility, pain and numbness. I feel much better thanks to the skill of the Doctor and the great staff he has working for him. The staff is very professional, organized, knowledgeable and always on time with my appointments. I would highly recommend La Starza for any chiropractic need you might have.

Amazing, local business!!! came in as an acupuncture appointment. Talked to doc about all my issues, did a mobility xray and found my issues. Have been there a couple months now, soon to do a progress check, I can say without a doubt that my body mechanics have changed and improved significantly since seeing them! I try to tell everyone I meet about the mobility xray and what it can do for you!!! Thank you to the staff for being one of the most supportive teams!!!

Super friendly people work here. I am glad that I found a highly professional chiropractor, Dr. LaStarza. At work I suffered from severe back pain, which made me unable to work. Plus I have long-term problems with my spine. The adjustments receive and the exercises I am shown are very effective in relieving my pain. Now I have the opportunity to painlessly restore my part of the work on a permanent basis.

I cannot say enough about this practice. I was feeling awful head to toe this morning, and left a whole new woman. I've been going to La Starza wellness since the birth of my daughter in the fall of 2018. My pregnancy brought [a lot] of old spinal injuries to the surface and the prognosis for my future wasn't great. Dr. La Starza is keeping from surgery with his therapies and [I'm] so [grateful] for that. My husband has also been a regular patient. He has even help our baby out in making sure she was aligned and well. I recommend anyone with any sort of physical issues, whether it me minor or very serious in nature, to give them a call! My family will never go anywhere else.
