Back Pain
The
body can sustain a spinal injury from one big trauma
(such as an auto accident) or by the buildup of many
small traumas (such as long term unbalanced posture
from working on a computer, lifting, or other
activity).
Restoring normal motion and allowing the body to first heal, and then move differently, is the most effective treatment.

Back Spasms
Just
like a fever is the result of an infection and not
the cause of the illness, back spasms are a symptom,
not the cause of a back problem.
The spasm is caused by irritation of nerves controlling the spinal joints and discs. These are the same nerves which control muscle contraction in the back. If the nerves are irritated, they produce pain and reflex spasm. A spasm is the body's
way
of stopping motion to protect an injured joint.

Neck Pain
Long
term overload of the balancing muscles of the neck
and back causes chronic tight muscles, as well as
pulling against vertebra of the neck causing nerve
irritation, headaches, and other painful stress
related symptoms.
If your neck and shoulders are constantly tight, chiropractic can help. Chiropractic helps reduce and relieve stress caused by poor posture, continuous standing or sitting, repetitive motion injuries, or muscle tension from mental exertion.

Sciatica
Sciatica
is pain in the back which runs down the back of the
leg. It is caused from irritation of the sciatic
nerve itself or from pinching of the spinal nerves
which form the sciatic nerve.
Chiropractic care is a logical conservative approach to this condition. Reducing the irritation of the nerve by realigning the vertebrae helps many sciatic patients. Surgery is recommended when necessary, but can usually be prevented.

Whiplash
If
you are involved in an auto accident you should be
evaluated to determine if there is a soft tissue
injury. Because the symptoms from a soft tissue
injury may not show up until 3-7 days after the
trauma, a thorough chiropr
actic
examination is very important.Pain changes how a
body moves, therefore after the initial pain
improves, the body may adapt to moving differently.
Pain medication and muscle relaxers can mask the
pain, but unless normal motion is restored, body
motion will be unbalanced. Left untreated, the body
adapts to the unbalanced pattern of motion,
creating a chronic problem.

Hand Pain
Neck
problems are a common cause of pain radiating to the
upper extremity (arm, wrist, and hand). The nerves
which control the upper extremities begin in the
neck. Structural distortions in the neck caused by
chronic poor posture or prior trauma can cause a
spinal distortion in the neck and compress the nerves
traveling to the hand. Hand and wrist pain, numbness,
tingling, and weakness of grip can result.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) usually begins with occasional hand and wrist numbness. Most people ignore CTS when it is in its early stages. Over time, the numbness persists and turns into pain and hand weakness.
People at risk for CTS include computer operators and anyone who performs a repetitive hand motion frequently. Early detection and treatment is important. Since different people have different pain thresholds, it’s best to be screened by a trained professional.
A doctor of chiropractic can help determine if a problem is on its way to CTS, or a temporary, mild ache from overuse.

DJD/ Degenerative Joint Disease
DJD
(degenerative joint disease), or Osteoarthritis, is a
mechanical irritation of the joint, usually due to
unbalanced motion. The joint responds to the
unbalanced and stressed motion with formation of bone
spurs on the edges of the bone.
Maintaining proper motion through a joint can reduce this mechanical damage.
Osteoarthritis is different than rheumatoid arthritis, which is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that attacks the synovium of the joint.

Automobile Accident
If
you are involved in an auto accident it is important
to be evaluated to determine if there is a soft
tissue injury. Symptoms of a soft tissue injury may
not show up until 3-7 days after the trauma.
Chiropractors focus on proper function of posture and the spine, nerves, muscles and ligaments, so the first thing evaluated is evidence of serious trauma such as fractures, etc.
Pain changes how a body moves, therefore after the initial pain improves, the body may adapt to moving differently. Pain medication and muscle relaxers can mask the pain, but unless normal motion is restored, body motion will be unbalanced. Left untreated, the body adapts to the unbalanced pattern of motion, creating a chronic problem.
