Please contact Gazette sponsor Homza Chiropractic Center if you have nagging pain that won't go away no matter what you do. Just e-mail B² and arrangements will be made for you to get a FREE evaluation.

I've told you how the folks at Homza have helped me overcome a very stiff and sore neck. Below is another success story:

When I first came to Homza, I was experiencing a lot of pain in my neck due to arthritic degeneration in a disc. I have very little pain now – only when it's bad weather, and the pain is minimal when I do have it. My posture is so much better, also!

I have had such a positive and pleasant experience here and would recommend it to anyone for any problems and preventative care!!
