Allergies

Chiropractic helps alleviate allergies by improving your body's ability to combat them, working beyond the short-term relief of anti-histamines. Misalignments in the spine can stress the nervous system, affecting immune function. Chiropractors align the spine to reduce nerve stress, enabling the immune system to function optimally. This promotes better recognition of allergens, preventing overreactions and reducing the severity of allergic symptoms.

DISC PROBLEMS

Intervertebral discs between spinal vertebrae facilitate spine movement, provide space, and act as shock absorbers. Trauma or aging can lead to disc issues like herniation or bulging, causing pain and nerve pressure. Instead of surgery, chiropractic care offers a non-invasive alternative. Chiropractors align the spine, reducing nerve pressure and alleviating disc-related discomfort, often providing relief without the risks and recovery associated with surgery.

Whiplash

Whiplash, common in car collisions, results from the violent snapping of the neck, causing soft tissue damage and potential structural issues. Chiropractic care offers targeted adjustments and alignments to release pressure on discs and nerves, aiding recovery from whiplash injuries. Chiropractic massage can relieve pain from soft tissue damage without resorting to pain medications or surgery.

For arthritis caused by cartilage wear between joints, chiropractic care provides a holistic approach. Painkillers offer temporary relief, but chiropractic adjustments release pressure on the nervous system, restore joint movement, and ensure proper motion to prevent compensatory injuries. Focused on overall well-being, chiropractic care aims to restore and maintain adequate training and functionality for increased long-term health.

Joint Dysfunction

Joint dysfunction, stemming from injury, poor posture, or overuse, restricts whole movement and can lead to pain in the affected joint and surrounding muscles. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common form, causes low back pain and limited mobility, often misdiagnosed as sciatica or a herniated disc. Chiropractors can accurately diagnose and relieve this condition through targeted adjustments, restoring proper mobility and alleviating pain. If you're experiencing joint pain, seek relief through our chiropractic care.

Neck/Back Pain

Subluxations or misalignments of your vertebrae usually cause pain along the spinal column in your neck or back. A slight misalignment can cause pain by causing pressure on nerves. Left untreated, these subluxations can cause muscle spasms and increasing pain. Chiropractic adjustments properly align your spine to release pressure on joints and nerves. It is a direct treatment for the cause of the pain, not a temporary relief like pain relievers or massage. If you are experiencing back or neck pain, visit us today.

Headaches

Many people believe that headaches are caused by loud noise, tiredness, or stress. While these factors can lead to headaches, the direct cause is tightness in the neck and shoulders. The tightness can cause misalignments in the vertebrae of your neck, resulting in pain. 80% of all headaches originate from the channel. With a typical cervicogenic (neck origin) headache, a person usually feels pain starting at the base of the skull, which radiates into the temples, eyeballs, and forehead. Massage of the neck and shoulder muscles can release tension, and a chiropractic adjustment can realign the vertebrae in your neck. Chiropractic can help eliminate the cause of your headaches rather than offering temporary relief from the symptoms.

Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is irritated due to bulging discs, spinal subluxations, or muscle spasms, resulting in pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower back and leg. Effective treatment requires diagnosing and addressing the underlying cause, a task your chiropractor is well-equipped to handle. Similarly, a "pinched nerve" results from compression, often caused by spinal misalignments or herniated discs. The resulting inflammation, pain, and muscle spasms can be relieved through chiropractic adjustments, which align the spine and address the root cause of the pain. An examination by a chiropractor can effectively identify and treat the source of your pain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

This condition is most commonly associated with people constantly using a computer. Typing is a motion that, when performed repetitively and with poor posture, can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Symptoms include pain, numbness, weakness, or a burning sensation. The nerves in the fingertips travel through the wrist, up the arm, and into the neck. The spine is the center of the nervous system, and the pain in your hands and wrists can be relieved by your chiropractor with concentrated spinal and joint adjustments.

Maintenance Care

We have discussed many conditions that can be relieved through chiropractic. The best way to treat these conditions is to prevent them before they start. Regular chiropractic visits can help to prevent physical problems and injuries from occurring. Other potential benefits of regular chiropractic visits are increased flexibility and mobility, a higher level of energy, improved posture, a more effective immune system, better circulation, and better well-being.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, a condition with an unknown cause, manifests as chronic pain primarily in the joints, often accompanied by various symptoms such as trouble sleeping, headaches, depression, and anxiety. While there's no cure, chiropractic treatment can offer relief and help identify potential sources of pain, whether physical, mental, or emotional. A thorough examination guides adjustments and chiropractic massage to alleviate pain. Chiropractic care's additional benefits, including increased energy, improved circulation, and a strengthened immune system, contribute to fighting the effects of fibromyalgia.
