Conditions We Treat
Common
Musculoskeletal Conditions Treated
Chiropractic has provided effective relief
to millions of individuals suffering from back and neck ailments.
Chiropractic has also provided relief from many other musculoskeletal
complaints ranging from knee and ankle problems to carpal tunnel
syndrome and tennis elbow. In fact, musculoskeletal pain or discomfort
in any area of the spine or extremity is a candidate for safe, natural,
noninvasive chiropractic care. If a condition exists which is better
suited for treatment by a medical specialist, chiropractors are
fully trained to identify such conditions and make the appropriate
referral. However, most patients suffering from musculoskeletal
complaints can and are successfully treated with chiropractic every
single day.
Common musculoskeletal conditions we treat:
- Low back pain and stiffness
- Neck and upper back pain and stiffness
- Mid back pain and stiffness
- Headaches and migraines
- Leg pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
- Arm pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
- Extremity joint pain and dysfunction
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
Common
Injuries Treated
 Chiropractors
commonly treat all types of injuries and recognize the unique findings
associated with each. For example, it is important to understand
that auto injuries involve a delayed onset of symptoms which commonly
surface weeks and even months post-accident. In work injuries, chiropractors
routinely look beyond the actual injury and address such things
as work station set-up, ergonomically correct equipment and proper
work techniques. For sports injuries, chiropractors often check
for biomechanical and muscle imbalances as a routine part of the
treatment plan. Treating the whole person and optimizing health
is what chiropractic is all about.
Some of the most common injuries are:
- Automobile accident and whiplash injuries
- On-the-job and lifting injuries
- Sports/athletic injuries
- Chronic injuries
Common
Non-Musculoskeletal Conditions Treated
In addition to musculoskeletal problems,
chiropractic treatments have also been shown to benefit many individuals
suffering from “medical” ailments such as chronic ear
infections in children, menstrual pain and irregularities in women,
and arthritis pain in the elderly. Although chiropractic care is
not a specific form of treatments for such conditions, research
has shown that many “medical” conditions can be caused
or aggravated by irritation to spinal nerve roots which share an
intimate relationship with the spinal structures. By restoring proper
nerve function by normalizing spinal structure and function, we
believe some individual suffering from these “medical”
conditions can obtain partial and , in some cases, full relief.
Non-musculoskeletal conditions which studies
have shown benefit form chiropractic:
- Asthma
- Dizziness and disequilibrium
- Otitis media (ear infection)
- Infantile colic
- Dysmenorrhea
- Ulcers
