Chiropractic Wellness Care

Receiving a spinal adjustment to help your nervous system function and communicate effectively is an ideal and primary reason for wellness care.

 

Subluxation

The term subluxation is used by doctors of chiropractic to depict the altered position of the vertebra and subsequent functional loss, which determines the location for the spinal manipulation. Subluxation has been defined medically as a partial abnormal separation of the articular surfaces of a joint.

 

Sciatica

The most common symptom associated with sciatica is pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, from the lower back and down one leg; however, symptoms can vary widely depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected. Some may experience a mild tingling, a dull ache, or even a burning sensation, typically on one side of the body. Some patients also report pins-and-needles sensation, most often in the toes or foot and numbness or muscle weakness in the affected leg or foot.

 

Herniated Discs

Symptoms from a disc herniation can be excrutiating, but one of the most effective ways to care for this type of injury is by seing a chiropractor.

 

Pinched Nerves

Chiropractic therapy is extremely helpful in treating pinched nerves. Pinched nerves usually are caused by either a bony impingement - meaning there might be a joint that is pressing on the nerve - or in many cases, by a bulging disc, herniated disc, or tight muscles. Chiropractic treatment can relieve pressure from the nerve and offer remarkable relief from pinched nerve pain. 

 

Headaches

While there are varying kinds of headaches, most people end up relying on a protocol of prescription medicine or drugs as their standard of care. Being adjusted by a chiropractor is an effective way of naturally caring for the root cause of headache symptoms by removing interference from the nervous system.

Work Injury Recovery

Chiropractic care can help you fully recovery if you have been injured while at work or on the job. Helping you get your health back to 100% is the top priority of a chiropractor.

 

Car Accident Recovery

Nobody wants to be in a motor vehicle accident, but they do happen. Seeing a chiropractor to be evaluated following a car accident can be an essential part of an effective and long lasting recovery from injuries. It's a well-known fact that chiropractors are experts in helping the body heal from soft tissue damage from these types of accidents.
