Allergies

Chiropractic care can help reduce the severity and frequency of allergies. While it does not act like an antihistamine for immediate relief, chiropractic adjustments help your body better manage allergic reactions.

Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances, causing sneezing, congestion, hives, rashes, or, in severe cases, anaphylactic shock. Misalignments in the spine can impact the nervous system, which in turn affects immune function. By realigning the spine, chiropractic care reduces stress on the nervous system, allowing your immune system to function optimally and respond to allergens more effectively.

If you suffer from allergies, chiropractic can help. Schedule an appointment today.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

This condition often affects people who type or use a computer frequently. Repetitive motions and poor posture can cause pain, numbness, weakness, or burning in the hands and wrists. Since the nerves in your hands travel through the wrist, arm, and into the neck, spinal and joint adjustments by a chiropractor can relieve the pressure causing these symptoms.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease refers to age-related changes in spinal discs. Discs, which act as shock absorbers, can herniate, bulge, or wear down over time, potentially causing pain, numbness, or tingling in the back, neck, arms, or legs. Factors like aging, obesity, smoking, repetitive work, and injury can accelerate degeneration.

Treatment may include physical therapy, stretching, and chiropractic care to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and prevent further degeneration. An examination can help develop a personalized treatment plan.

Disc Problems

Intervertebral discs provide flexibility, cushioning, and space between vertebrae. Trauma, aging, or dehydration can cause discs to herniate, bulge, or rupture, leading to pressure on surrounding nerves and pain. Chiropractic care can relieve pressure on discs and nerves, reducing pain and restoring normal function without surgery.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread chronic pain, often in the joints, along with fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, depression, or anxiety. While its cause is not fully understood, chiropractic care can help identify contributing factors and provide relief through adjustments and therapeutic massage. Benefits may also include improved circulation, energy, and immune function.

Headaches

Many headaches originate from tightness in the neck and shoulders, causing misalignments in the vertebrae. About 80% of headaches are cervicogenic, beginning at the base of the skull and radiating to the temples, forehead, or eyes. Chiropractic adjustments and massage can relieve tension and realign the neck to treat the source of the headache rather than just the symptoms.

Joint Dysfunction

Joint dysfunction occurs when joints become stiff or restricted, causing pain in the joint and surrounding muscles. It can result from injury, poor posture, overuse, or muscle imbalance. One common type is sacroiliac joint dysfunction, affecting the base of the spine and pelvis. Chiropractors can restore mobility and relieve pain through targeted adjustments.

Neck and Back Pain

Pain in the neck or back often results from vertebral misalignments (subluxations), which put pressure on nerves and muscles. Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, relieving pressure and addressing the root cause rather than only masking the symptoms.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis involves the wearing down of cartilage in major joints like the knees, hips, back, neck, and hands. This can cause pain, reduced mobility, and secondary issues in other joints. Chiropractic care alleviates pain by realigning joints and restoring proper movement, promoting long-term joint health.

Pinched Nerve

A pinched nerve occurs when a nerve is compressed by misaligned vertebrae, bulging discs, or other factors. Compression causes inflammation, pain, and muscle spasms. Chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure, addressing the underlying cause of the pain.

Sciatica

Sciatica results from irritation of the sciatic nerve, often caused by bulging discs, spinal misalignments, or muscle spasms. Symptoms include pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower back and legs. Chiropractic care addresses the underlying cause to relieve symptoms effectively.

Whiplash

Whiplash commonly occurs during car accidents when the neck snaps back and forth violently. This can cause soft tissue damage, misaligned vertebrae, herniated or bulging discs, and nerve damage. Chiropractic adjustments and massage help relieve pressure, restore alignment, and reduce pain and stiffness.

Maintenance Care

Regular chiropractic visits can prevent physical problems before they develop. Benefits of ongoing care include improved flexibility, mobility, energy levels, posture, immune function, circulation, and overall well-being. Preventive chiropractic care helps maintain a healthy, fully functional body.
