  • Gano has helped me with my headaches, neck and back pain. I walk out of there feeling better. He works on my kids and hubby. Hubby couldn't walk and need surgery now doesn't need it. The front desk girl and massage therapist girl that are in the office are wonderful and very friendly!! I enjoy going there like family.

    DR. JON BALON
  • I love this place! I was in an auto accident and came here afterwards with some back pain. They are so patient with me and really care about the people that they are working with. Dr. James is very knowledgeable and talks everything out so that I understand what is happening, too. Meghan, the massage therapist, is FANTASTIC. I’d recommend them to anyone and everyone. Chesterton is lucky to have them!

  • Dr. Gano actually listens to you about what has or hasn’t worked for you and adjusts his treatment accordingly. I’ve never had a Chiropractor do that! The massage therapist Megan is wonderful!!

  • Amazing staff!! I’ve been dealing with low back pain for 17 years, Dr. James was the first person to actually listen and treat my problems. In the past, my regular Doctors have just given me pain killers and muscle relaxers, which never really helped, but with Dr. James’s Chiropractic care and Meghan’s massage therapy, I have never felt better.
    BRANDON SPALLA
  • was very skeptical and wary of chiropractic treatment for a long time, and I finally decided to give it a try. I am so glad I close this office! The staff is so genuine, personable, and professional. The first visit is EXTREMELY thorough and made me feel like I was in very good hands. Their massage therapist was excellent, and the dr was amazing as well. I have never felt so much relief from pain in my life! I will certainly be recommending back to life to everyone!

Numbness & Tingling

Numbness and tingling are abnormal sensations that can occur anywhere in the body. The location, timing and provocating factors of numbness can help clue in to the exact cause of altered sensation. Many times if the numbness and tingling is located into arms, hands, and fingers are result of a neck/shoulder/elbow/wrist injury or irritation. While numbness and tingling into the legs and toes are often result of lower back injury/irritation. If numbness and tingling are present it is important to rule out other possible factors such as diabetes, stroke, and multiple sclerosis to name a few.
