Proper spinal movement is aligned with flexibility and strength.
Proper spinal movement is aligned with flexibility and strength. Having adequate flexibility of tissues around the spine and pelvis allows full normal spinal movement, prevents abnormal force on the joints, and decreases the possibility of injury. Stretching exercises prepare muscles for activity. Stretching before and after a workout can prevent muscles strain, soreness and help to avoid injuries. Stretching exercises will help improve your flexibility and strengthen muscles.Research has shown that people who are physically fit are less likely to have back pain, injuries, and will also recover much faster from injuries than those who are less physically fit.
The abdominal and back muscles help to stabilize the spine allowing proper spinal movement and correct posture. Also, having strong leg and hip muscles allow for proper lifting techniques and body mechanics. Strengthening back and abdominal muscles can help to relieve back pain, provide energy and give a feeling of wellness making daily routine activities much easier.Throughout our lives we come across pain that in some way is directed from our spine.
Our spine is the central core of our nervous system and these nerve fibers control the movements in our body. Our muscles and bones need these nerve fibers to work properly, so that our posture, movement, strength, and balance are working properly as well.Staying active in our lives is a key importance to maintaining spine success. When lack of activity is present your body will lose the energy needed to control the human body. Keeping active maintains and increases this ability to work properly. Not only will you become physically injured by lack of being active, but also your mental focus in life decreases. You will become unproductive and fall into a downward state of losing energy. Eventually this will cause major problems with your body and physical exhaustion occurs regularly throughout your life.
Spinal balance and correct posture are two very important elements to abundant energy.
Spinal balance and correct posture are two very important elements to abundant energy. Good posture should be a relaxed, comfortable and balanced state providing you with stability, poise, and energy.Good posture is when your head is balanced over your hips, your chin is parallel to the floor, and your pelvis is level. You walk with vigor and your step feels light. Good posture is a very important part of good mental and physical health.

I really don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for Dr. Roth. I can’t even say how many times I have gone in his office walking like Quasimodo, (Hunchback of Notre dame) due to back pain and came out walking upright and no pain. The other day I almost went to the emergency room due to neck pain and numbness from my face to my fingers. I could not even move my right arm. I knew the most I would get from the ER it pain medicine, so the next day I got in to see Dr. Roth. By the time I was walking out to the car, I was able to raise my arm up over my head. Anyone out there that is curious but just needs a push to have chiropractic care, Give Dr. Roth a chance! You will never know if he can help you if you don’t go see him. A 15 minute adjustment sure beats having to have surgery to relieve nerve pain.
Thank you Dr. Roth for letting me enjoy my life.
I have suffered from fibromyalgia and small fiber neuropathy for almost ten years.My symptoms increased in intensity, even though I was on medication. Recently, while on a wonderful beach vacation, the pain in my neck became so bad I thought I was going to lose my mind. The day we returned, I made an appointment with Dr. Roth.
When you first enter his office, you are greeted by a kind receptionist in a low lighted room. It was very calming.
My treated involved heat, a rolling massage table, and adjustments by Dr. Roth. I then saw David, the physical therapist, who showed me stretches that would ease my symptoms.
I cannot say enough about the care I receive from Dr. Roth and his staff. they are caring people who are doing everything they can to make me feel better. After just one visit, I was amazed at how much more mobile and pain free I was. I am looking forward to my future visits.
I started going to Williamsburg Neck & Back in my second trimester of pregnancy because I had a shooting pain in my lower back. It would act up when I coughed and some other random times. Then I couldn’t sit cross-legged anymore & I started to feel it every step on my left side. I also sit at a desk all day & have poor posture so my neck needed some work from staring at a computer screen all day.
Dr. Roth estimated that I should start feeling relief by 6 adjustment sessions, coming twice a week. Lucky for me, my insurance even covered prenatal massage, so I would get adjusted and get an hour massage each visit. When I checked in today (7th visit since initial consult), I had no pain to report. The check-in computer system prompted me to complete a survey about back pain, and I was confused because I had just reported that I didn’t have any back pain. It wasn’t until halfway through the survey that I realized it was the same survey I completed 6 sessions ago grading the intensity of my back pain. I had totally forgotten about the shooting pain I used to feel. In fact, I haven’t had that back pain for a few sessions now, so it didn’t even take the full 6. My neck pain is gone too.
I plan to continue getting adjustments and massage at least for the remainder of my pregnancy. Thank you, Dr. Roth, Victoria, and everyone else at Williamsburg Neck & Back!
I am a 61 year old female and have been treated for Neck stiffness and Sciatica pain.I have used other Chiropractors in the past, without much relief. However,
Dr. Roth seems to understand my pain and within a short time of care I feel amazing.
He as well as, his staff are phenomenal, I feel that they really understand the body and care about you as an individual. I would highly recommend Dr. Roth.
I have never been to a chiropractor before but after hurting my back in a yoga class I was desperate to find relief. My insurance does not cover chiropractic but the office worked with me to make my visits affordable. They could not have nicer. After just 3 visits my pain was nearly gone. I was amazed and so grateful to Dr. Rotth and his staff. H
I was having nagging hip pain for a about 6 months while running. I tried many different treatments without success. Dr Roth had me diagnosed and running pain free within 2 weeks! His staff is also first rate. David and Barb are highly knowledgeable and helped me with proper stetching techniqes would highly recommend Dr. Roth and his staff to anyone having any kind of neck, back or hip problems.
I came to See Dr. Roth after injuring my back. I was impressed with his quick diagnosis and plan to put me back in shape. Within two weeks, my back was 95 percent better. I can finally sleep on my bed! Dr. Roth is caring and professional and I highly recommend him. His staff is the best. If your muscles are injured, his professional massage therapists can work wonders. All around a positive experience.
I recommend Dr. Roth and his team without reservation for all chiropractic care needs. Dr. Roth is everything you would want in a chiropractor: skilled, patient, and sincere. I feel he genuinely cares about me and my health. He carefully explains each procedure and patiently answers all my questions. We work together to address my discomfort issues.
Conveniently located in New Town, his staff is prompt, professional, and attentive. They work around my schedule in making appointments and frequently check on me when I am receiving heat therapy to make sure I am comfortable. I never feel rushed in this office, yet I am never kept waiting. The Williamsburg community is indeed fortunate to have him.
I've been under chiropractic care for 30 years. I can honestly say that Dr. Roth's treatment has been more effective than I've received from any other chiropractor. His manner and knowledge are excellent and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks!
Periodically, I have been a patient of Dr.Roth at Williamsburg Neck and Back after he started his practice in Virginia. I have had pain in my lower back for many years, and I have been to several chiropractors with no relief from the pain. I can truthfully say that since I have been going to Dr. Roth, my back as felt so much better. Dr. Roth and his staff are very professional and caring, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs chiropractic care.
Dear Dr. Roth, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work in your office these past few months for my internship. I've not only learned so much about what it takes to run your own practice, but I feel like I've been touched by you and your wonderful family. I can honestly say you're one of the most genuine and kind-hearted people I've ever met; it was such a pleasure working there. Williamsburg Neck and Back Center really is a gem in the rough!
After being a victim of a high-speed, rear-end collision, I was referred to this chiropractic care facility by my attorney. Let me begin by saying: This place definitively dispels any negative experience stories about chiropractic care that is circulating online.
When I walked into Dr. Roth's office for my initial consultation, I was greeted with a warm and sincere welcome. His entire staff was genuinely caring and did not treat me like just another patient. Further, his entire staff looks very professional, as does his office--and that's an understatement. Every room in Dr. Roth's office is calming and is therapeutic in itself.
After checking in using an awesome high-tech system, I met with Dr. Roth and he asked me about my injuries and any discomfort. He was very thorough and kind during the initial consultation. To be honest, I was expecting him to rush through the process and get me out of there as soon as possible; however, contrarily, he spent a lot of time with me to ensure every symptom was noted.
Immediately after the consult, he set me up for a few treatments. Most other chiropractors (that I've personally visited) will only talk to you on the first day, but Dr. Roth made sure I would feel better after the first session. He was concise and clear about his treatment plans and made me feel at ease about getting chiropractic care.
I waited, at most, one minute before a massage therapist walked into the room and worked on my spasms in my upper back. I was surprised as to how patient she was in dealing with my muscle spasms; she made sure to relieve the pain I was experiencing from the spasms. I could tell from previous experiences with massage therapy that she was highly skilled and experienced. What sealed the deal was that she was so kind and sincere.
In sum, everyone that works at Williamsburg Neck and Back Center is so kind, sincere, and patient. I never feel rushed. Dr. Roth and his team take their time with my treatments. Lastly, no matter how busy this place gets, someone is always checking in on you and making sure you feel comfortable. I love this place. I will continue praising this office and its staff. I highly recommend Dr. Roth's office if ever you need chiropractic care.
I am so impressed with your office. Thanks for getting me out of pain and for the wonderful massages (Colleen!). You guys are prompt, friendly, you explain everything in simple terms, and your customer service is out of this world. So glad I found you all! See you soon.
Dr. Roth and his staff were great! I came into the office with a slew of back problems and the doctor listened attentively and was invested in helping me resolve my issue. He listened to my questions and concerns and gave me the time a patient deserves while he asked the right questions and gave his professional opinion. I did not feel like a number or that I was being rushed in and out.
After utilizing the massage table and electric pulse therapy, we went through the first adjustments. The doctor thoroughly explained every step that he was doing and made sure that I was comfortable with everything. When I unconsciously resisted certain corrections, we found a technique that worked for both of us. Afterwards, he explained exactly what he thought was going on with my back and the treatment that he would like to do on follow up visits.
The remainder of my visits went very smoothly, and they were very receptive to making appointments around my schedule. The paperless, modern office was a joy as it was easy to pay, get electronic receipts, and get automatic appointment reminders via email or text.
Overall, I am pleased with the results and feel that the adjustments we made were a huge improvement on my back. If I had more time in Williamsburg (two-weeks), I'm sure we would have completely resolved my issue. I would highly recommend Williamsburg Neck and Back.
Dr. Roth and his staff provide a welcoming environment on each visit. Dr. Roth listens well, patiently answers questions, and provides competent treatment in a kind manner. I am grateful for his work to relieve my chronic back pain. Thank you!
I've been seeing Dr. Roth for some time now, with back problems that have plagued me for most of my life. After treatment by him, I feel so much better, and for much longer periods, than I have with any other Chiropractor. When I moved to Richmond, I was unable to find a Chiropractor that could help me with the same expertise. So, I started driving the 62 miles one way to Newport News to see Dr. Roth when necessary. I'm glad he has moved to Williamsburg. It's a much shorter drive. Dr. Roth is friendly and personable, and an obviously caring Doctor, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for chiropractic care.
This wonderful doctor is truly a "Miracle Man"! When I went to see him I could not stand up straight, had no balance, and waddled when I walked, so when Dr. Roth was recommended to me I really didn't plan to visit him, for I had never had any success from a chiropractor. My friend made an appointment for me anyway, and insisted that I just had to go, and now I feel like I owe her my life! After just one treatment I was able to stand straight, walk and not "waddle" and finally had my balance back, so now I don't bump into everything, and I feel like a new person. To think I had gone through this agony and pain for more than a year, and the only hope I had been given was that I would have to have a third back surgery, I really feel like Dr. Roth has performed a miracle. Thank you so much, Doctor. You are truly the GREATEST!!
I lost almost complete movement in my neck from a car accident. From one treatment with Dr. Roth, I was able to fully turn my head left and right again. Amazing! Dr. Roth takes time to research, diagnose and treat each patient. Thank you Dr. Roth!
I know there is so much controversy between chiropractic and medical care, but if it were not for chiropractic I would still be in pain. A car accident left me with constant lower back pain. I tried everything from painkillers to preparing to have surgery. I heard stories from my friends who had surgery and to this day wish they never had it. So I decided to go to a chiropractor before the surgery and I am so thankful that I did. My back pains are gone and I am living my life to the fullest and pain free.
I am a dancer and have had chiropractic care for various injuries and just general well being to keep my body from getting hurt. I had been to several other's claiming they could help and they didn't do anything for me.
Dr. Roth has set my knee straight with the impulse therapy, I can dance and have more range of motion in my knee. He also helped remove scar tissue from a previous injury in my foot with the help of ultrasound. I no longer have any pain. I also receive weekly adjustments from Dr. Roth to keep my body in alignment as it should be.
His staff is wonderful and always smiling. I'm always comfortable and I feel right at home. I'm so glad I found his practice and would recommend everyone to come see Dr. Roth and his staff.
I have only been going to Dr. Roth and his team for a little over a week. My results have been amazing. I was in so much pain from groin issues and muscle issues in my legs that I was in tears by the end of day. I feel like a new person! Groin issues were so much better after just three visits. Nancy and Kia are the best. Both are wonderful massage therapists. And Pooh is a delight. She prepares you for your treatment. Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Roth and his staff. They are all so very nice and really work with you to solve whatever issues you have. This is one doctors appt. I look forward to going to.
