Back Pain

Chiropractic care realigns the vertebrae of the spine to help relieve inflammation that can cause nerve irritation and joint malfunction. Once your spine is aligned, it’s better able to support the body both at rest and in motion while allowing the body to heal on its own. Chiropractic care balances out uneven forces and stresses on the nervous system, allowing for optimal function. We also work with nerve entrapments such as sciatica. As the nerve compression is relieved, normal nerve signalling is restored, relieving the pain, numbness, burning and other symptoms that occur when the sciatic nerve is compressed. Regular chiropractic adjustments can prevent recurring nerve pain.

Headaches

If you suffer from headaches or migraines, the first step in prevention is having an evaluation to determine their cause. Often, headaches are caused by tension in the musculature of the neck, misalignment of joints in the neck which causes loss of motion, and tension through the jaw and face, sometimes due to tongue tie. Chiropractic treatment will restore movement in the spine and relieve tension through the neck and head. Regular care can prevent headaches from occurring.

Auto Accidents

Having a chiropractic evaluation following an accident, even if you feel fine, is the best way to ensure that your neck and spine won’t develop pain over time. Receiving treatment also helps by making adjustments to the spine that can help relieve or reduce inflammation that could cause pain later on. If gone untreated, injuries from even a minor fender bender can cause long-term pain down the line. Most commonly, auto-related injuries involve the back and the neck. The impact and resulting jolts from an accident can cause soft tissue injury like whiplash, and damage the spinal joints and discs. If twisting is involved, there could be injuries to the spine or other joints.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder, elbow and wrist pain can be a result of many things ranging from athletic injuries to muscle tension to misalignment of the body. We aim to figure out the underlying cause of your joint pain and treat it accordingly using adjustments and soft tissue techniques. Often times, the pain in the upper extremity is a result of over-use or repetitive movement from work or sport (think typing, holding a golf club, etc.) Our care can help restore joint positions while relieving pain and tension.

Hip & Leg Pain

Hip, knee and ankle pain can be a result of many things ranging from athletic injuries to muscle tension to misalignment of the body. We aim to figure out the underlying cause of your joint pain and treat it accordingly using adjustments and soft tissue techniques. Often issues in the joints may present as tension, aching or a decrease in the range of motion. Regular chiropractic care can help to maintain mobility and flexibility through the leg, hip and pelvis.

Prenatal Care

With our pregnant moms, we use gentle techniques that are safe throughout your pregnancy. Benefits of seeing a chiropractor during your pregnancy include balancing the pelvis restoring proper motion, relieving back pain, pelvic pain and sciatica. Adjustments also include light soft tissue work to relieve tension and allow for proper function of the pelvic musculature. Studies have shown that women who are adjusted regularly, while pregnant, experience quicker labor times, a decreased chance of tearing, and experience easier deliveries, overall.

Children

Kids are just as susceptible to spinal misalignments as adults. They often don’t have the language to communicate discomfort, but it may show up in their behavior or movements. Signs that your infant or child may need to be checked by a chiropractor include trouble feeding or eating, bloating, re-flux or vomiting, constipation, ear infections or pulling at the ears, trouble sleeping, colic, trouble focusing, irritability or acting out.

Sports Performance

Athletes and those who are in training for a competition or race can experience great benefit from regular chiropractic care. Keeping the body aligned and mobile improves recovery, decreases aches and pains, and reduces risk of injury. It also helps improve joint mobility and resiliency in athletes that may be experiencing difficulty in certain positions or movements. Studies have shown that adjustments can improve strength of muscle contraction.

Post-Operative Therapy

Looking to rehab after a surgery and get back to normal activity as quickly as possible? Blood flow restriction therapy can help you do just that. BFR is a game-changing injury recovery therapy that is producing dramatically positive results:

  • Diminish atrophy and loss of strength from disuse and non-weight bearing after injuries

  • Increase strength with only 30% loads

  • Increase hypertrophy with only 30% loads

  • Improve muscle endurance in 1/3 the time

  • Improve muscle protein synthesis in the elderly

  • Improve strength and hypertrophy after surgery

  • Improve muscle activation

  • Increase growth hormone response
