Chiropractic care can provide relief for a wide range of symptoms and conditions. Here are some common conditions that can benefit from chiropractic care.
Neck/Low Back Pain:
Subluxations or misalignments in the spine can pressure spinal nerves, causing neck and low back pain. Chiropractic adjustments can address the root cause of the pain instead of just temporarily relieving it with massage or stretching.
Headaches:
Many headaches originate from tension in the neck and shoulder muscles. A cervicogenic headache can cause pain that radiates into the temples, eyeballs, and forehead. Chiropractic care can provide relief for this type of headache, as well as other types of headaches.
Sciatica:
Irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause pain, numbness, weakness, or other symptoms in the lower back and the leg. A misaligned vertebra, bulging discs, and muscle spasms are some possible causes of sciatica.
Pinched Nerve:
A pinched nerve is a severely compressed nerve, often caused by a misaligned vertebra. It can cause severe pain and other symptoms, and a proper examination is needed to determine the exact cause.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
Repetitive movements without proper ergonomics can cause damage to the hands and wrists, leading to carpal tunnel syndrome. Chiropractic care can ensure that all joints and muscles along the path of the nerve are free of obstruction and functioning correctly.
