Dr. Tiegs Asks some important questions of interest to Boise residents - Chiropractor Boise Dr. Tiegs Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Boise parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.

Introducing Boise Chiropractor Dr. Mick Tiegs

Dr. Mick Tiegs, Boise  Chiropractor"Maybe It Will Go Away", these might be the 5 most dangerous words to your health. Don't Wait-- Get help today with Chiropractic. Chiropractic adjustments help thousands of people everyday. Not only do adjustments help relieve pain, but chiropractic adjustments are stepping stones to rehabilitating your spine so you will be less likely to suffer in the future.

I chose to be a chiropractor because my family utilized chiropractors all through my childhood. My family would go to chiropractors for the usual back and neck pain as well as health maintenance. Throughout junior high and high school I would see my chiropractor regularly for acute problems as well as maintenance check-ups to keep my body healthy- I am very fortunate now to be able to take care of my family, kids, and friends.

I graduated from Boise State in pre-med studies and then completed chiropractic college in Portland, Oregon at Western States Chiropractic College in 1995. Many people don't realize that Chiropractic College is 4 years, that is after the 3-4 years of undergraduate school for a total of 7-8 years of college. Since graduating, many of my post-graduate studies have been concentrated on whiplash and motor vehicle injuries. Chiropractic care is a unique discipline that focuses on healing and improving spinal function, this is especially important following a trauma.

My practice is diverse in the fact that I take care of auto accident injuries, families, acute care, health maintenance care and many sports related injuries. Regardless of the reason you are in pain- we are committed to helping you the best we can.
We want to answer 3 questions for you:

  1. What is the cause of your complaints and pain?
  2. Is Chiropractic care the right choice for you?
  3. How much will your Chiropractic Care cost and how long will it take?

We want our patients to be educated about their choices, why chiropractic might be the choice for you and how we think we can help you. If the patient and the doctor are on the same page-- we will get great results.

I have been married to my beautiful wife for 11 years and we have two awesome kids. My daughter Cassidy is 9 and my son Carson is 6-- we have a busy schedule with swimming, basketball, baseball and softball. We have enjoyed all the sunshine Boise has to offer, living in Seattle for the last 13 years we grew tired of the rain and cloudy days.

Chiropractic is not just my profession. I believe that a healthy lifestyle should not only include regular adjustments (I get adjusted every other week), but should involve healthy eating habits, regular workouts or walks, drinking plenty of water and keeping a positive outlook on life. Chiropractic is a great way to facilitate your body to "Get on Track". The purpose of seeking care or taking care of yourself is not just so the body feels ok, but to improve your overall outlook on life and to improve your Quality of Life. Pain and discomfort have a way of bringing people down and becoming negative. Good health brings forth positive people who want to enjoy life.
