We want to inform people about their natural health care options. Wellness care has become so complex that it may seem confusing and at times overwhelming. Since both doctors have spent many years studying a holistic approach to natural health, we would like to clarify some of the questions people may have.
We opened Aldenville Chiropractic in 1985 on Grattan Street in Chicopee. We are in a newer office, still on Grattan Street, a little closer to the exit for I391 than our original location.
Our office is a place where people come in to relax and be treated with kindness and consideration while they are finding relief from health challenges. They receive the care and education they need to maintain their optimal health, fitness and wellness.
Even though we are treating the third generation of patients since we opened our doors, we stay on the cutting edge of science and technology. We use instruments for adjusting that are comfortable and quick for our patients. We continually update our therapies.
We added cold laser less than a month after it was FDA approved for chiropractic treatments. This therapy allows us to treat many chronic and difficult conditions painlessly, as well as more quickly and effectively.
We also use the most powerful percussion instument available and myfascial therapy to deeply relieve tension. We have procedures and therapies to remove pollutants and toxins that accumulate in people's bodies just because the noxious materials are everywhere! ...

TMJ - It's In your Head!
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a joint with a disc located just in the front of the ear. It is the most used joint in the body. You use your TMJ when you chew, swallow, talk and yawn. You may hear a clicking, crunching or grinding sound when using your jaw. You may even bite the inside of your mouth when eating. These are some of the indications of a TMJ problem.Many symptoms may be caused by TMJ dysfunction. Symptoms you may notice are pain in your jaw, face, neck, ear or head. You may have headaches, even migraines. You may feel dizzy; have ringing in the ears, decreased hearing or a sensation of pressure or fullness in the ears.
TMJ pain may be caused by stress, a whiplash injury, a fall, tooth loss, surgery and dental work. Up to 78% of Americans may have TMJ problems. The TMJ joint may become misaligned. Misaligned joints in the neck may also contribute to TMJ pain. Additionally, the 68 pairs of muscles that surround the TMJ must function properly to allow painless motion of your TMJ.
We are chiropractic physicians trained to restore function and health to the joints, nerves and muscles. With an examination to determine the cause of your TMJ pain, they can provide chiropractic adjustments to realign the joints causing the dysfunction. Myofascial therapy and cold laser treatment could help relieve the neuromusculoskeletal pain.
J. Vaughn, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) works closely with the doctors. He can provide the deep muscle work needed to treat the 68 pairs of muscles that contribute to this complex and painful condition.
