Why Patients see us?
Low Back Pain
Charlotte
Wells:Customer Service Rep
“I have suffered from low back and neck pain for years,
due to a couple of hard falls and an auto accident in 1989.
Dr. Morgan has given me exercises to do along with his treatments. I have been able to go much longer between visits with little to no pain. Doing the exercises eliminates the pain, which also means fewer trips to the doctor. Not only did Dr. Morgan help me to quickly get rid of my back pain but the craziest thing is at the time I came in to see him not only did I have the back pain but I was also having sinus problems and now all of those symptoms are generally better. I feel like doing more with my husband, parents, grandchildren, and our friends. I feel better at work and have been able to return to working on our local emergency squad, which allows me to help others in return. All of this means the world to me, Thank You Dr. Morgan!
Headaches
Judith Lang: Retired (RN)
“Before treatment at Morgan Chiropractic Clinic,
I suffered from Headaches with tightness in my shoulders and neck.
I believe that my problems came from improper lifting of patients during my career as a RN. I had constant headaches. Since receiving care from Dr. Morgan my headaches have subsided and the muscles in my neck and shoulders are relaxed. Dr. Morgan’s exercise routines have allowed me to maintain the relief from my pain. Without the headaches I am more relaxed and able to engage in more activities such as shopping and walking and I am more tolerable to live with.
My family and I thank you.
Sciatica (Leg Pain)
Dee Craig: Customer Service Rep
“I no longer feel that I have to hold on to something
when walking down stairs or a decline.
I had a break in the tibular plane of my left leg and went through surgery and months of physical therapy. After two years of favoring my left leg the sciatic nerve had become so irritated that my left foot had become numb. I had severe, stabbing like pain in my left leg, which seemed to travel all the way down to my toes! Since receiving treatment at Morgan Chiropractic Clinic I have had tremendous relief from the numbness and pain. I have also made a lot of unexpected improvements. The strength of my left leg improved and also due to the exercises Dr. Morgan instructed me to do my lower back improved in strength as well.
Thank You Dr. Morgan”
Fibromyalgia
Amanda Douglass: Domestic Engineer / Foreman
“I have suffered from FIBROMYALGIA for years, relief from some of my low
back pain during a massage made me think that chiropractic might help.
Since receiving chiropractic care at Morgan Chiropractic Clinic have experienced a greater range of motion, less fatigue, and less pain. If I do too much and my pain flares up I know where to go to get it under control. My worst problem, bad posture, was very correctable. The stretches and exercises that I do help me to stand correctly so that my muscles balance out. I use chiropractic care, massage therapy, and warm water therapy to help reduce my pain. This program has allowed me to run, skip, and jump again. Fibromyalgia is real! Treating it with chiropractic care has helped me tremendously. Thank You.
Car Wreck / Whiplash/ Neck pain
Stephanie Guckert: Medical Secretary
“I Suffered from HEADACHES and NECK PAIN
from a car wreck that I had ten years ago.
The changes in my health have been energizing. I found my spirits to be consistently higher, I have been emotionally able to tackle the challenges that have needed attention in my life and I am willing and desiring to be doing more physically than I have in a long time. I have more energy now that I do not have the headaches. My level of activity has also increased because I feel more relaxed and not so tense. The major improvement is the headaches have disappeared and my overall posture has also improved. Thank You Dr. Morgan
Car Wreck / whiplash
Carol Schott: Administrative assistant
“I was suffering from pain and spasms in my neck
and left shoulder caused by an automobile accident
four years ago… and now I feel great!
Since receiving care from Doctor Morgan I feel like a new person. I am pain free and exercise to remain pain free. Dr. Morgan has given me specific exercises to help strengthen my neck. While obvious problems such as the neck pain were corrected other things that I was not aware were causing some of my problems were also corrected. My posture has improved dramaticly, giving me more confidence. He understood exactly what I was telling him when I described my pain and he really! really! listened. All of this means the world to me, Thank You Dr. Morgan!”
Headaches?
Headaches often seem to come out of the blue, but they have a common cause.
Many people suffer from headaches – that sometimes unbearable pain that occurs behind the eyes and
forehead or above the back of the neck. The difficulty with diagnosis and treatment of headaches is that there
are different kinds, with different causes. So diagnosis becomes a matter of trying to narrow down the specific
headache symptoms and what’s causing them. Not an easy task by any means!
And then… there are all kinds of headache relief treatments, from over-the-counter medications (OTC)
to prescription drug medications, homeopathic remedies to alternative therapies, ice compresses to dark rooms
– the problem is that all of these deal with symptoms and not the cause of your headaches.
It’s kind of like turning up the radio when you hear something that sounds wrong in your car.
You won’t hear that noise anymore, but there’s still something making that noise that needs to be looked at!
If you suffer from frequent headache pain, or from headaches that take you out of commission for hours or
even days at a time, you really need to keep reading to learn about a natural way to relieve headache
pain for good!
Categories of Headaches
We will be concentrating on primary
headaches because they are the most common category of headaches
and sinus headaches, a secondary type of headache.
Headache Relief Medications and Treatments
All headaches cause pain; some, as with migraines and cluster headaches, are more severe than other types of headache pain.
Drugs may
ease the painful symptoms but they simply don’t deal with the cause of the
pain, no matter what type of headache
you suffer from.
There are many different types of headache relief medications and treatments
available. What you take or what a doctor may
prescribe for you is usually dependent on the types of headaches you have and their causes.
For example, if you were suffering from tension headaches, these are
generally treated with over-the-counter (OTC) remedies,
such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and aspirin.
If you are a migraine headache sufferer, there are many types of
prescription medications available that are used to prevent
migraines or to provide headache pain relief after symptoms are present.
And if you suffer from cluster headaches, preventive medications are often
prescribed as well. For sinus headaches, medical
doctors often prescribe
medication to clear up the primary infection that is the cause of the headache Of
course, if you have
headaches during pregnancy, which can affect many moms-to-be, then there’s a whole different approach altogether!
Some people even find that alternative therapies, such as biofeedback, aromatherapy, meditation, massage and herbal treatments
help with relief of headache symptoms.
It’s complicated because there really is no headache relief that works for
all types of headaches, but there is a natural solution
for all types of
headaches that addresses their cause and not just their symptoms. You see, if
you address the cause of your
headache, you can eliminate symptoms. No symptoms…then no headache relief is needed. Sounds too simple? Read on…
Natural Headache Pain Relief
With so many different types of headaches and the difficulty in diagnosing exactly what type you have
in the first place, imagine the amount of “hit or miss” opportunities occur in treatment!
Then… if you do happen to find a treatment for your headaches that works, there’s another problem.
The treatment is either aimed at preventing symptoms from occurring in the first place or relieving them after
they’ve already started. Does either of these two treatment scenarios address the cause of your headaches (whatever type you happen to have)? No, they don’t.
On the other hand, there are natural health care providers who believe in a drug-free approach to locating and correcting the cause of your headaches, so you don’t get them anymore.
How do they do this without drugs? They use gentle and safe spinal adjustments to relieve nerve interference
that may be the cause of your headache – no matter what kind you have. Dr. James Morgan
of Morgan Chiropractic Clinic in Marietta, OH is a chiropractor who has a tremendous record of success
in helping his patients’ bodies to heal so they no longer suffer from chronic, painful and debilitating headaches.
Chiropractic Care for Headaches?
Headaches are one of the most common reasons for a visit to the chiropractor. You see, chiropractors
believe that most illnesses and conditions stem from some type of malfunction in the central nervous system.
Your nervous system controls every organ, every function, literally every cell in your body. So… when it isn’t
functioning at an optimal level, then symptoms begin to appear.
What causes your nervous system to malfunction in the first place? Well, generally it’s the result of nerve
interference that occurs when a bone is out of place. And that’s why chiropractors move bones – to put spines
back into proper alignment and remove nerve interference so your body can function correctly.
How does a bone become misplaced? Usually you’ve experienced some type of head trauma. Perhaps
it happened when you fell and hit your head when you were a toddler. Or, maybe you were involved in a
serious automobile accident. The fact is, nearly everyone has been the victim of some type of head trauma
in their lives due to an accident or injury. And it’s precisely these types of events that cause the spinal
misalignments (bone shifting) that result in nerve dysfunction.
When this happens, the areas of the body that are controlled by the impaired nerves become “disabled”
because their communication link to the brain (the affected nerves) is functioning either at half speed or
not at all.
Chiropractors receive specific training to be able to locate and correct nerve interference
(spinal misalignment), which restores proper brain-body communication and corrects the cause of your
headaches. In fact, after any nerve interference is corrected and removed, the body heals itself, reducing
or even eliminating the symptoms of any type of headache! Amazing, isn’t it?
Does Chiropractic Really Work for Headaches?
Research into the benefits of chiropractic care for relieving chronic headaches has shown favorable results.
One study, which was published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, involved 218
headache sufferers who received either chiropractic care or drug therapy or both. Initially, there was a 40 – 50%
reduction in pain in all three groups. However, four weeks after all care ended, only those who had chiropractic
care still had the full benefit of their relief, while those who had received drug therapy lost about half of their
improvement.Another study, conducted at Duke University, compared chiropractic care with drug therapy,
using the drug amitriptyline. Both treatments had similar short-term effects on tension headache pain;
however, amitriptyline caused adverse reactions (side effects) in 82% of the study participants.
The more impressive findings occurred after all care was discontinued. Patients who had received drug
therapy returned to the state they were in prior to the study. However, patients who had received chiropractic
care continued to benefit from a significant reduction in headache frequency and severity – even when
chiropractic care was discontinued. This leads to the conclusion that chiropractic care can correct the cause
of headaches, resulting in lasting improvement beyond the time that a patient is actively under care.
Remarkable research results for sure – the same results that occur every day at Morgan Chiropractic Clinic
in Marietta, OH. No health care provider can guarantee these same results for every patient, but Dr. Morgan
can show you testimonials from all types of headache sufferers that pay tribute to the healing power of
chiropractic care.

Low Back Pain?
Drugs can silence the painful alarm, but overlook the cause.
Two Common Causes
The facet joints on the back side of each spinal bone are a common cause of back pain. The pain can be a sign these interlocking “fingers” aren’t moving correctly.
The discs between spinal bones can be involved, also. Trauma can cause the soft, disc material in the middle to bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves.
Low Back Pain Medications and Treatments
Drugs may ease the painful symptoms but they simply don’t deal with the cause of the pain, no matter what type of Low Back Pain you suffer from.
There are many different types of medications and treatments available. What you take or what a doctor may prescribe for you is usually dependent on the type of pain you have and its location.
For example, if you were suffering from a two day old sprain/strain in your low back , is generally treated with over-the-counter (OTC) remedies, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and aspirin.
If you are suffering from low back pain which radiates into your hip and thigh, there are many types of prescription medications available that are used to provide Low Back Pain relief after symptoms are present.
And if you suffer from radiating pain from the low back into the leg and foot, then there’s a whole different approach altogether!
Some people even find that alternative therapies, such as inversion traction, Decompression Therapy, exercise, massage and herbal treatments help with relief of Low Back Pain symptoms.
It’s complicated because there really is no Low Back Pain relief that works for all types of Low Back Pain, but there is a natural solution for all types of Low Back Pain that addresses its cause and not just its symptoms.

Low Back Baby?
Low back pain and pregnancy seem to go hand in hand.
At first glance, most people don’t see the connection between chiropractic and pregnancy,
besides the Pain. However, there are four stages of pregnancy where having a finally tuned
nervous system can help both mother and baby.
Before Conception
Chiropractic care prepares the body to be strong, flexible, and balanced to carry the pregnancy.
During Pregnancy
A structured routine of chiropractic care during pregnancy appeals to mothers who seek a natural
approach to better health.
Before Labor and Delivery
Many patients rely on chiropractic care to help assure optimum mechanics of the pelvis and spine
in the hopes of reducing the need for intervention during the birth process.
After Child Birth
Even natural births can cause stress on a baby’s spine. Difficulty breastfeeding can arise if the
baby has a subluxation and is unable to comfortably turn its head to one side.
We use special approaches to make our adjustments safe and comfortable
for you and your child.
Frequently Asked Questions:
No. This is a common concern among parents who think their child will receive adjustments just
like the ones adults receive. Not only are adjusting methods modified for each person’s size and
unique posture, an infant’s spine doesn't have the long-standing muscle tightness seen in adults.
This makes the force used to adjust a babies spine considerably less than an adult’s.
Will adjustments make my spine loose?
Of course not. Only the spinal bones that are “fixated” are adjusted. This allows weakened
muscles, tendons, and ligaments to stretch, stabilize, and heal.
If pregnancy is natural, why would I need chiropractic care?
The birthing process is a natural phenomenon. It’s what we have done to the birth process that has
become unnatural. Doctors often treat the birth process like a disease. A babies introduction to the
world is often a shock to the babies senses which begins with a severe drop in temperature, loud noises
and other sensitivities. The use of drugs and anesthesia can have a long lasting effect on a newborn
overall health.
Will I need my medical doctor to approve?
First or all, you don’t need a doctors permission to seek chiropractic care about health issues
regarding you or your child! However, an opinion of another health care expert is always helpful in the
decision-making process. Medical doctors who keep up with the latest research are starting to
understand the value of this natural, drug-free approach to better health.
What does my spine have to do with my baby?
Pregnancy may be one of the best times to begin care with a chiropractor! While it’s always good to have
an optimally functioning nervous system, it’s especially useful now when both mother and baby can
benefit. Adjusting techniques are adapted to a mother’s size, weight and physical condition. During
this period of weight gain, soft tissue stretch, and hormonal changes, many mothers seek
chiropractic care.

Auto Accident?
Every day, thousands of Americans are involved in auto accidents and most receive little care for their injuries or none at all, and often settle their case too soon.
Even if you were involved in a minor fender bender, studies have proven you could suffer from an injury that isn't easily noticeable in the first few weeks following an accident.
Most insurance adjusters know all about the kind of injuries people experience in an accident. They know sometimes you don’t feel the injury right away and they try to settle as quickly as possible while your medical bills are low or non-existent.
Make no mistake, insurance is a business like any other, and the less they spend on appropriate care, the more money they make their shareholders.
Don't make this mistake!
Until a doctor who has experience with low impact, soft tissue injuries says you are 100% okay, don't make the decision to settle too soon!
After any accident, it’s advisable to visit the emergency room to make sure you don’t suffer from any life-threatening injuries. This is what emergency room doctors specialize in. But as long as there’s no immediate threat to your life, the emergency room physician is likely to send you along on your way with pain medication to mask the pain.
The problem with only taking pain medication after your accident is that soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, discs, and nerves need to move properly to function.
When you only take pain relief and/or anti-inflammatory medication, scar tissue and adhesion's can form around these soft tissues limiting the proper motion. These scar tissues can turn into there own source of pain.
Soft tissue injuries are not always visible on x-rays
It takes special training to detect soft tissue injuries… vital signs, x-rays, and the generalized pain don’t tell the whole story behind your injuries!
The next step doctors rely on if their pain medications fail is to refer you to a physical therapist.
The physical therapist is trained to work all major muscle groups in a problem area, which can sometimes cause more problems do to the nature of soft tissue, muscle, and ligament damage. Building Muscle mass around and injury doesn’t heal the damage it only strengthens the area.
So, after this therapy, it’s no coincidence most people are still in pain and may even feel worse!
At this point, you are either sent back to therapy to try another treatment, (Toni Robins once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”.)
Or, they may recommend you see a surgeon about your problem.
Now, it’s true that surgery is an extremely drastic treatment for these sort of injuries, but if a surgeon does know what to go after, you may get the result you are looking for.
Oftentimes surgeries, especially in the neck and back, will only result in a short period of pain relief, at best. More than half of all back surgeries will leave you with some pain.
Surgery is an option you should consider, but only after all other non-invasive treatments have been tried.
Any Of These Symptoms May Be A Sign You Are Suffering From A Hidden Soft Tissue Injury…
· Muscle Stiffness
· Spasms
· Neck Pain
· Headaches
· Numbness And Tingling
· Mid-Back Pain
· Low Back Pain
· Difficulty Sleeping
· Irritability Fatigue
My name is Dr. James A Morgan II, D.C., Clinic Director of Morgan Chiropractic Clinic-An Accident & Injury Center here in Marietta, OH.
I document and care for auto accident victims. I've seen car accident victims going through years of pain and misery all because no one ever bothered to tell them their rights and the truth about their injuries.
I've used my drugless non-surgical treatment method to help auto accident victims get out of pain as quickly and easily as possible.
It is important that you document your injuries now! Because not doing so may make any injuries you have get worse and they will become more difficult to treat down the road, and it may also hurt your injury case if you decide to pursue legal counsel.
Schedule an evaluation to pinpoint exactly where your injury is. Then, I will prepare a Recommended Action Plan for getting you out of pain as quickly and easily as possible, without drugs or surgery.
Your accident’s been a big enough hassle already, from getting your car fixed, to dealing with your insurance adjuster.
If necessary we will recommend you retain a lawyer to represent your case. Choosing a good, qualified lawyer is extremely difficult and, if you’d like, we’ll give you a list of attorneys to choose from.
Whatever you decide to do, remember, you need to document your injuries as soon as possible in order to get the care you may need and the settlement you may deserve, and to do that, you need to be checked out by someone with the training and experience to diagnose and treat the hidden injuries.
