There are more than 80 autoimmune diseases that are currently known to the medical research. While all autoimmune diseases are different (and lead to different symptoms, pains, and frustrations), they all have something in common.
Autoimmune Disease is when your immune system believes that part of your body is a foreign entity and attacks itself. Your immune system’s job is to keep away foreign invaders that can negatively impact your health. That’s its job.
But, sometimes your immune system can be too diligent in warding off invaders. There are instances where your immune system will believe that your colon is a foreign entity and attack it – leading to inflammation, pain, and serious symptoms (this is the case with an autoimmune disease called Ulcerative Colitis). Or, it might believe that your joints are foreign and attack those (this is the case with an autoimmune disease called RheumatoidArthritis).

Autoimmune diseases can be hard to live with, and that’s why our doctors are dedicated in helping you deal with and manage your Autoimmune disease and the many symptoms that can come from these conditions. Treatment of autoimmune disease focuses on controlling the autoimmune reaction so you can better manage the symptoms you’re experiencing.
Can you cure Autoimmune Disease?
Autoimmune diseases are known to be lifelong conditions that can be managed and treated. According to modern scientific literature, autoimmune diseases are NOT curable – instead, they usually have periods of flare-ups (where symptoms worsen) and periods of remission (where symptoms are less intense or not noticeable at all). While this is the case, there is recent literature that is discussing the use of alternative treatments (such as stem cell therapy) that has been shown to completely reverse autoimmune diseases (not just put them into remission).
Recent research of stem cells for autoimmune diseases states that: “Stem cell-based therapies offer many exciting possibilities for the development of novel treatments, and perhaps even cures, for autoimmune diseases.” Other research has concluded that factors that trigger, perpetuate and exacerbate autoimmune disease are: modern Western diet, chronic stress, changes in gut microbiota, environmental toxins, sleep deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, reduced sun exposure, and other unidentified aspects of the modern lifestyle.

I came in with hip and neck pains i could barely sit and stand straight, after our session i have been shopping all day pain free with great relief! Weill definitely be back! The lumbar stretch was so great and unfortunately did not get to try the decompression bed
Next time
I was having pain around my neck and shoulder blade for over two weeks, I made a next day appointment with DR Rodriguez. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and went straight to the exam room with no wait. DR Rodriguez did eval, X-rays then adjustment. Within an hour I was walking out pain free. I will definitely be going back for future adjustments. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I highly recommend Brookfield Spine & Health Center! Dr. Peter Geary is very professional and kind! Many teaching moments and much improved health and movement! Top notch equipment and Melanie is also efficient and kind. They value life and health, they have equipped me to sustain optimal movement and enjoy the abundant life God has given me. Always a very good experience!
I cannot rave enough about the staff and Dr Sedghi at momentum chiropractic. The staff is so kind, helpful and attentive. I came in for shoulder & neck pain that quickly disappeared after my first adjustment. I’ve been coming twice a week for about 3 weeks now and notice a significant difference in my back and posture. I’m not longer hunched over and have never seen my back straight before. I never thought my scoliosis could be helped in anyway. Thank you momentum chiropractic, I couldn’t be happier and am so grateful for having stepped foot in their office!
Such a wonderful experience! Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable! I went during my pregnancy and it helped more than I ever thought it would! Definitely recommend to everyone!
I had no range of motion in my neck, but after doing a series of decompression and gentle adjustments I can move my neck more freely without stiffness or pain.
Momentum is great. Dr. Sehgi is so knowledgeable and informative. The staff is so warm and welcoming. My chronic shoulder blade and arm pain went away after a few visits and overall my posture and level of pain has improve immensely. I’ve noticed over health benefits as well stemming from the lack of chronic back pain. Would absolutely recommend
I am a senior currently receiving Spinal Decompression Therapy. This Therapy has relieved my upper back and neck pain as well as helped me to maintain an active lifestyle pain free. Dr. Pete and Melanie are very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend Brookfield Spine Chiropractic.
I have sciatica which is painful and takes focused chiropractic treatment to relieve the pinched spinal nerve and heal. I’m just at the forefront of my treatment but am beginning to feel some results. The Team at Momentum all work hard under the leadership of Dr Sedghi. They are a most kind and caring group of professionals who provide the very best for their patients.
Add 5+ more stars to this review! Dr. Sedghi is magical along with the staff. I enjoy going in every time - it's a such a homey and welcoming environment. My body sure is grateful!
Provided much needed back pain relief. The office is very organized and flexible. I appreciate how they are able to work around by schedule. The entire team is professional and friendly.
I've recently suffered some serious injuries to my body and have been in some serious pain for some time.. After seeing Dr.David my pain level decreased and my mobility has increased.. Looking forward to healing and having my life back without pain and being able to function normally.. Thank you Dr.David
I had such a wonderful experience bringing my three-year-old in today. From the moment we walked in, the entire office was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. He was so kind, knowledgeable, and gentle with her, which made all the difference. The thoughtful follow-up call this evening truly went above and beyond and meant so much to us. We’re so grateful to have found such a caring and attentive chiropractor—highly recommend!
So glad I paid for the package plan, my body feels good and I actually want to stand up straighter now! Super nice staff and Dr. Sedghi always has a great attitude.
Am visiting CA and needed a chiropractor. Got an appointment next day as a new patient. The new patient special can't be beat anywhere. $47 includes exam, consultation, treatment and 2nd follow-up appt. Dr even called me after appt to see how I was doing. Might have to visit more often to continue great treatment! Thanks again
Dr. David is truly amazing! The entire staff is so friendly & welcoming that you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. Getting my alignment fixed has been a game-changer, not just for my physical health, but for my mental health too. It’s incredible how much better life feels when you aren't in pain. I can’t recommend this practice enough!
Great staff and personalized care. Dr. Sedghi is honest and well informed. He has your best interest in mind and is willing to work to your needs. I highly recommend Momentum Health Chiropractic!
Just want everyone to know....Dr Sedghi is a miracle wrker. He is gentle . He does a great job . The staff is so welcoming, friendly. My husband and I have been seeing Dr.Sedghi regularly for 2 yrs now. Our bodies are doing well. We feel great. Love Momentum ❤️
Wonderful first visit, most importantly I felt like I was treated as an individual, no cookie cutter treatments here! You will be assessed, treated, and cared for based on all of your own personal symptoms or ailments.
Earlier this year I began to experience vertigo symptoms, constant fatigue, dizziness, and other issues that made it near impossible to live normally. When my neurologist was unable to diagnose me, I was recommended to find a “balance doctor.” As of October 1 of this year, Dr. Sedghi was the only one able to diagnose me and I began to receive treatment with a personalized plan to get me back to living normally again. Side note, the team he has in office is wonderful and helpful in every regard. After a few months now, I can say that I have been given back my life and am happy to continue seeing this team as I move forward from my plan.
Dr. Sedghi and his staff are amazing! They all have great bedside manner and the front desk people always greet me with a smile and call me by my name when I walk through the door.<br>The day I walked into Momentum Health Chiropractic, I had constant pain and tingling from my neck all the way down my left arm. If I tried to lift my head up I would get lightning bolts shooting down my arm. Now a few weeks into treatment, the lightning bolts are long gone and the pain and tingling are intermittent. I can't wait to see where it goes from here!
Thank you Momentum Health care. I have been seeing Dr. Sedghi for several weeks and I already feel relief in my back.<br>The whole team has been great, a very organized and caring team. I am very grateful, that I found Momentum Health Chairopractic.
Very professional and courteous staff. Doctor is very thorough in his approach and knowledgeable in how to achieve my desired pain relief. I recommend Momentum Chiropractic to anyone who wants passionate and effective chiropractic care.
Dr. Sedghi is the best Chiropractor I've ever been to!!! He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in a way I can understand. His Office Manager is always sweet and helpful!! I highly recommend his office!!!
Momentum is great. They get you in and get you out. The staff is very accommodating and they’re great about following up for care and getting you back in when you need it.
I was recently diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease after a couple of violent vertigo attacks. I am also convinced that the vertigo may have to do with vestibular migraine. I came to Momentum Chiropractic hoping that chiropractic treatment might be something that could help with all of my ongoing symptoms. Dr. Sedghi took a couple of X-rays that confirmed some issues in my upper cervical spine. I am just a few weeks into treatment here and am already seeing great improvement. Dr. Sedghi is kind, patient, and compassionate, and his staff is amazing. Every time I walk through the doors, I feel welcome and hopeful. I was hesitant about trying a new chiropractor. I’m glad I did and happy I found this place. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Sedghi is a bit of a miracle worker. I suffered from lower back pain for years. And after working with him for 6 months, I was basically paying free. The staff is absolutely amazing and supporting as well. Cannot recommend highly enough. Got spinal decompression. Got time on the roller table. Got an adjustments from the doctor. A life-changing experience.
I had a stubborn lower back pain for several years that didn’t seem to have any fix. After starting chiropractic adjustments at Momentum, Dr.Sedghi recommended trying spinal decompression. I have been doing spinal decompression twice a month for about a year now, and the lower back pain has been completely gone since my first appointment! Staff is always welcoming and has been more than accommodating with several schedule changes I’ve had due to work. Highly recommend!
I went in because I had been having bad headaches after brain surgery in 2015. Since coming to Momentum Chiropractic my headaches have gone down in how many I was getting. I wish I would have done it a long time ago. All the staff are very friendly. Thank you to the whole team at Momentum Chiropractic you are the best.
Dr. Sedghi and his team are very professional and welcoming. After experiencing trauma which effected my back, shoulder and legs Dr. Sedghi has been tremendously effective in getting me healthy again. We appreciate everything he has done for both my husband and I.
Dr. Sedghi is amazing! Much relief from my pain on the first visit! He definitely helped my daughter with her migraines. Professional and kind staff! So thankful for these great people!
Dr. Sedghi and the team at Momentum have made such a difference in my quality of life. I struggle with RA joint pain and disc issues. I was injured last summer which made things even more difficult and thankfully ended up in Dr. Sedghi's care.<br>The nerve pain from my spine is almost completely gone. I see Dr. Sedghi once a week now. Decompression in combination with adjustments has made a difference for me. Two of my children have also gotten relief from treatment. One from chronic ear infections and the other from athletic injuries.<br>The office is state of the art, clean and relaxing. The equipment is new and the staff are detail oriented and always concerned with my comfort.<br>I feel blessed to be part of the Momentum family.
I have only had one chiropractor that was very good but Dr. David Sedghi beats even the other guy<br>If you have never gone to a chiropractor before the doctor will make sure you are well taken care of and are comfortable. They entire team are very friendly and helpful. After the first visit the doctor calls in the evening to make sure you are doing ok an d do you have any problems.<br>Have a fantastic visit when you go.<br>CR Hutchins
Best experience I’ve ever had with Chiropractic care.. I have had back pain for years and this fixes and relieves my pain. The fabulous ladies at the front are amazing. They are so positive and friendly, always welcoming you in and making you feel comfortable. Dr Sedghi has noticed the smallest details that have been missed in the past.<br>I was having knee pain and didn’t even mention it, but he noticed my fibula was out of alignment and fixed my knee pain immediately. I look forward to every appointment for relief and feeling better.
Went in a skeptic and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Great cheerful staff and a knowledgeable Dr. make for a great experience. Thanks guys!
