Chiropractic care is very successful at treating the following
pains. What kind of pain can we help you with?
Back Pain
- Back Pain can have many causes
but the most common result from misalignment of the bones of the Pelvis and
Spine. Many patients come into our clinic having suffered with back pain for
many years. They have tried many alternatives and find that gentle Full Spine
Chiropractic Technique works.
Migraines
- Migraines can also have many causes, however in our experience there is
frequently a connection between migraine and problems with the vertebrae of the
neck. The gentle and safe chiropractic neck adjustments, in conjunction with
treating the whole body as appropriate, frequently eliminate or dramatically
improve the severity or frequency of migraine attacks. It is also
important for the patient to look at their diet when addressing migraines, as
there is often a link.
Headaches
- As with migraines, Chiropractic can be very effective in treating headaches.
We have had many patients come to see us with headaches that have been happening
for a very long time. They have almost given up trying to find a solution. Once
again the problem often lies in the upper spine and once this is re-aligned with
gentle adjustments the headaches have gone away.
Vertigo
- The connection between the alignment of the bones of the body, in particular
the upper spine, and problems with dizziness, fuzzy sensations and balance
problems are often not understood by a lay person. We have seen many patients in
our clinic, often having first come to see us for other reasons, which have
found that Chiropractic adjustments have made an enormous difference to their
quality of life.
Sciatic Pain
- Sciatic pain is often used to describe a variety of problems in the lower back
and down through the pelvis and into the legs. This type of pain is common and
very debilitating. The pain is often the result of the nerves that run from the
lower back down the legs, including the sciatic nerve, becoming stretched,
compressed or in some other way irritated. In order to relieve the irritation to
the nerve and allow it to heal we gently re-align the pelvis and spine. These
gentle and specific adjustments alleviate the cause of the problem and allow the
body to heal itself.
Frozen Shoulder
- Patients who come to see us with "frozen shoulders" often have a variety of
symptoms. Some have severe pain around their shoulder, some cannot move their
shoulder very much and others have pain in both their shoulder and down their
arm. The problem can originate in the nerves that control the shoulder or in the
ligaments and tendons that support the shoulder. The nerve has become damaged in
some way and is failing to control the muscles correctly and sending pain
signals to the brain. Correcting the alignment of the shoulder bones allows the
nerves, ligaments and tendons to heal. Chiropractic can be very effective at
treating frozen shoulders.
Healing is a Process not an Event The objective of Chiropractic treatment is to allow the body to
heal itself. Because Chiropractic works with the body and the adjustments very
rarely hurt, the patient is able to relax during the treatment. Once the spine
is better aligned the body’s natural healing process can begin. This process is
very individual and every patient heals at a different pace.
