In NoHo we celebrate and support all art forms in our growing theatre and arts district.  Well, the healing arts are definitely one of them and deserve our devoted attention.  This month, either you are hanging on to the last drops of sun or are preparing for “back to school” and the rigors of fall.  Why not take this time to get (your) “back” in shape.  We only have one back, and we would be pretty useless if couldn’t use it!  NoHoArtsDistrict.Com picks Dr. Mike Onkels Chiropractic Office for its gentle, high-quality chiropractic care.   

Why the art of chiropractic healing?

One of the most common questions Dr. Onkels gets is “What is the reason for a back injury?” His answer is that sometimes it is a single, traumatic event, such as a car accident. But many times it is all the little bumps, bruises and bad habits we have had for the past 20, 30 years. Just look at typical two-year olds and count how many times they fall, and then we grow up, think of all the times we got a minor injury in gym class or in sports. Add your bad postural habits at school or your desk at work to the picture. Top it off with the little fender benders you never thought much of and you start to get the idea!  

So back problems (and most of our health problems) start early and won’t go away unless we address them. That is why chiropractic care is so important. Albert Einstein once said the definition of Insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” So to think that your back problems will magically go away over time is untrue. So get adjusted today and start taking care of those old problems! You don’t have to be an ‘Einstein’ to realize that your health is your most important asset!  

Dr. Onkels’ practice centers on gentle chiropractic care that focuses on correcting not only spinal dysfunction but also on cranial and visceral function. Cranial work is beneficial to most everyone, but those who suffer from chronic pain, headaches, TMJ pain, emotional inconsistencies and many other symptoms come to understand that there is an answer to their problems.  

Dr. Onkels focuses on chiropractic adjustments as they affect all parts of the nervous system. However, physiotherapy, muscular re-education, nutritional products and counseling are also offered. He specializes in the Sacro-Occipital Technique, which is a highly specific chiropractic adjusting method. Using this method we are able to address many chronic injuries or conditions, especially TMJ (jaw) dysfunction. Michael Onkels Chiropractic office works closely with some of the top professionals in the country to help treat jaw problems. This includes a network of dentists, orthodontists, holistic medical doctors and many other specialties.  

Dr. Michael Onkels graduated with two degrees from Cleveland Chiropractic College Los Angeles. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology in addition to his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. After serving as President of the Sacro-Occipital Technique on campus for four terms he was fascinated with the system of healing it offered to the patient. Currently his office operates with Cranial-dental expert Richard Gerardo, D.C. to form a chiropractic practice that is unlike all others. A relaxing, calm environment emanates from his practice of S.O.T. A caring and listening attitude provides you with the care you deserve. This is not to say that they won’t challenge you as a person and a patient. Healing requires many ingredients and one of those is you. With Dr. Onkels expertise you will be given a number of ways to help maintain your health. From stretches to nutrition to postural habits he will give you personal guidance.
