Conditions Treated
Common Musculoskeletal Conditions Treated
 Chiropractic
has provided effective relief to millions of individuals suffering from
back and neck ailments. Chiropractic has also provided relief from many
other musculoskeletal complaints ranging from knee and ankle problems
to carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. In fact, musculoskeletal
pain or discomfort in any area of the spine or extremity is a candidate
for safe, natural, noninvasive chiropractic care. If a condition exists
which is better suited for treatment by a medical specialist,
chiropractors are fully trained to identify such conditions and make
the appropriate referral. However, most patients suffering from
musculoskeletal complaints can and are successfully treated with
chiropractic every single day.
Common musculoskeletal conditions treated:
- low back pain and stiffness
- neck and upper back pain and stiffness
- mid back pain and stiffness
- headaches and migraines
- leg pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
- arm pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
- extremity joint pain and dysfunction
- carpal tunnel syndrome

Common Injuries Treated
Chiropractors
commonly treat all types of injuries and recognize the unique findings
associated with each. For example, it's important to understand that
auto injuries often involve a delayed onset of symptoms which commonly
surface weeks and even months post-accident. In work injuries,
chiropractors routinely look beyond the actual injury and address such
things as work station setup, ergonomically correct equipment, and
proper work techniques. For sports injuries, chiropractors often check
for biomechanical and muscle imbalances as a routine part of the
treatment plan. Treating the whole person and optimizing health is what
chiropractic is all about.
Common injuries treated:
- automobile accident and whiplash injuries
- on-the-job and lifting injuries
- sports/athletic injuries
- slip and fall injuries
- chronic injuries

Non-Musculoskeletal Conditions Treated
In
addition to musculoskeletal problems, chiropractic treatments have also
been shown to benefit many individuals suffering from "medical"
ailments such as chronic ear infections in children, menstrual pain and
irregularities in women, and arthritis in the elderly. Although
chiropractic care is not a specific form of treatment for such
conditions, research has shown that many "medical" conditions can be
caused or aggravated by irritation to spinal nerve roots which share an
intimate relationship with the spinal structures. By restoring proper
nerve functioning and by normalizing spinal structure and function, we
believe some individuals suffering from these "medical" ailments may
obtain partial and in some cases, full relief.
Non-musculoskeletal conditions which studies have shown may benefit from chiropractic:
- asthma
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- dizziness and dysequilibrium
- dysmenorrhea
- infantile colic
- low energy levels
- otitis media (ear infection)
- ulcers
