After a career in dance, in multiple auto accidents...
At Northgate Chiropractic Our Patients Speak!!!
"How many chiropractors have I been to? After a career in dance, in multiple auto accidents, there have been a few. Some were awful, some were great, but Dr. Steve has been the best. He is thorough, confident and accommodating. I feel very cared for going to his office. He always takes the time to listen to how I am feeling and responds with appropriate treatment. Dr. Steve is fantastic and I recommend him to anyone!"

A-D-J-U-S-T-M-E-N-T Spells Relief
It sounds a little different than what we are used to. You know ROLAIDS spells relief... “Dr. Lachuta, you mean that an adjustment could help with my heartburn or acid reflux? I was told I’d have to live with it and take the medication for the rest of my life.” Heartburn is a sign that something is not working right. It is very similar to a fire alarm that is going off and then unplugging the alarm. Rolaids or Tagamet does not treat the cause of the problem. It only covers up the symptoms.
So, how could an adjustment help my stomach? The nervous system controls and coordinates all functions of the body, including digestion. When the spine is misaligned, the signals to your stomach are not received as well as they should be. This interference is called a subluxation. Dr. Windsor from the University of Pennsylvania was given permission to carry out his experiments. Dr. Windsor determined that there was a direct correlation to the health of the spine and the health of the internal organs. In a series of three studies, he dissected a total of seventy-five human and twenty-two cat cadavers. All nine cases of spinal misalignment in the mid-thoracic (T5-9) area had stomach disease.
Many patients state that their digestion had greatly improved after getting adjusted; they were able to eat the foods they like (within reason) without using harmful medication.
Research shows that every medication you take may help you in one way and may hurt you another way. Drugs like Tagamet and Zantec “stop digestion of proteins (because they both stop HCl production).” A.C. Millet (Nutrition expert) explains,
“Antacids interfere with HCl release and can upset body chemistry resulting in other problems. Long-term use can lead to serious conditions like gastrointestinal complications.”
So, the next time you feel like eating a handful of Rolaids or Pepcid AC, think of the alternatives.

Our Patients Speak
Our Patients
I first came to Northgate Chiropractic in the spring of 2007. I was referred by a patient there, Justin. A series of accidents and auto accidents over the years created constant neck tightness with headaches along with low back pain and stiffness. I was having a low interest in doing any physical activities, was often in a bad mood and had A LOT of headaches. This had been going on for the last 5 to 10 years!!!
I thought to give Dr. Steve a try because of the results I was seeing with Justin. I had seen a chiropractor in the past but did not feel that they were as thorough because I was still having a lot of headaches!!!
My first impression of Dr. Steve and Northgate Chiropractic was that he was very professional and caring and a lot of fun too.
Since I have been seeing Dr. Steve, my headaches are almost gone!!! And my low back pain had disappeared. I started feeling results within 2 to 3 weeks after my first treatment.
Because of chiropractic, I feel great and am going to yoga classes again!!!
My words of encouragement for others is to keep coming to your treatments – it really can get better!!!

I believe that Chiropractic care benefits the entire body, not just the spine. I started going to Dr. Steve while I was pregnant, and I have to say, that he is one of the best Chiropractors that I have seen to date. Due to the adjustments that he was able to make, not only my pregnancy receive benefits, such as less pain in my lower back and abdomen, but it actually aided my daughter's delivery into this world. My entire labor process was only 13 hours long, and the active labor process itself only lasted UNDER AN HOUR AND A HALF. The adjustments that he made helped produce a less painful, quicker, natural birth.
We now take our daughter in with us to receive treatment. She is 4 months old, and has been really gassy, but always seems to feel much better after our visits to Dr. Steve.
I believe that Dr. Steve produces great results with his patients, not only because of his knowledge and application of chiropractic procedures, but also because of his caring nature towards his clients.

Dr. Lachuta has a sincere desire to get his patients functional and well and a whole bag of tools to do that, from the lovely rolling thing you lie on when you first arrive, softening the stress out of your back, to the splendid percussor that adjusts each bone of the foot, and - of course - his amazing hands. This is not your 5-min chiropractic drive-thru; he takes the time needed to give consistent and dedicated care to your spine AND extremities. Dr. Lachuta also has supremely confident touch, which means he is great for people who don't like being adjusted - he'll get the work done before you have time to think about it or tense up, eliminating any fears you may have about chiropractic. I completely trust him to adjust both me and my dog!
