Conditions for which we provide Chiropractic Care
The most common reason people seek Chiropractic Care is for relief from back pain. Whatever stage in life you are, from infancy through adulthood and old age, Chiropractic Care can safely and effectively help. Whether your back pain stems from acute injury, “slipped disc”, extra strain during pregnancy, or chronic aches and pains from desk-bound stress, Chiropractic treatment is the fastest and most effective means to full recovery.
Infants and children are also subject to stress and strain, from the birth process on through growth and development. This can have a detrimental effect on their nervous system compromising their ability to fight off colds and flu, causing digestion and sleep disturbance. Chiropractic Care is gentle, safe and effective to help restore the optimum function of the nervous system.
The posture of the spine depends of the proper balance of the muscles on either side of the spine. If the muscles are weak or too tight, they can distort the spine causing slouching or discomfort when trying to straighten the spine. A chiropractor can determine the source of the posture problem and adjust the spine to improve the muscular balance.
The most common cause of leg pain or sciatica is a nerve irritation the starts at the level of the spine. The muscles attached to the spine become tight and short, compressing the sciatic nerve. Chiropractors can assess the source of the nerve irritation and make the correct adjustment to relieve the pain.
Headaches are commonly caused by muscle tension in the upper back and neck. As the muscles get tight and short they can cause misalignments of the vertebra which can compress the nerves and inhibit proper circulation to the muscles. Chiropractic adjustments can restore normal alignment of the vertebra, relieving pressure on the nerves and restoring proper blood flow.
This common problem is getting more and more widespread due to our stressful lifestyles. Anxiety and stress can result in teeth grinding or bruxism, which leads to muscles of the jaw, neck and upper back becoming tight and painful. It is very helpful to get the neck adjusted to relieve a lot of the tension. Craniosacral Therapy is also quite effective in resolving underlying stress that causes TMJD. We work with a multi faceted approach for this complex condition.
Our stressful lifestyles are causing an increase of a variety of sleep disorders. Craniosacral Therapy helps to gently balance the nervous system, promote self awareness, and thereby help restore normal sleep cycles.
