Healing Hands

Headaches and migraines are often a sign from your body that there is abnormal pressure on the nerves that are exiting the cervical spine or tension on the spinal cord due to misalignments or abnormal motion in the spinal joints. Chiropractic can help with this.

Can be a sign that the spinal joints that create motion in your neck are not functioning optimally. Chiropractic adjustments done properly with your body's natural motion can restore the movement in these spinal joints decreasing pain, increasing free range of motion therefore preventing future degeneration.

Lower back pain can be debilitating and many times caused by prolonged joint dysfunction. This can lead to excess muscle tension, wear and tear of the joints and disc as well as excess nerve pressure on the nerve roots. Chiropractic adjusting restores proper joint motion. By focusing on the root of the problem, you allow the body to heal as opposed to drowning in medication or needing surgery.

Misalignments in the upper cervical spine leads to disrupted blood flow and nerve function to the head and face. It creates excess tension in the neurology leading to the symptoms of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance. Upper cervical misalignments can also cause inner ear drainage issues which is a common cause of dizziness, vertigo and imbalance as well. Many patients plagued with these issues needing to take medications their whole lives have gotten their lives back with care in our office.

Whiplash causes sudden jerking of the neck leading to soft tissue damage in the muscles, tendons and ligaments in and around the spine. This can lead to chronic pain and loss of proper neurologic function if left untreated. Chiropractic care is essential in treating these injuries.

TMJ has to do with poor tracking of the temporomandibular joint. It can be due to misalignment of the TMJ joint, upper cervical spine misalignments or issues with the external and internal muscles in the jaw. Internal and external muscle work combined with specific adjustments helps restore the normal tracking of the temporomandibular joint. Chiropractic care can also help relieve trigeminal neuralgia symptoms by realigning and restoring natural motion to the upper cervical spine.

Shoulders, hips, knees, elbows, wrists and ankle are made up of several bones that form moveable joints similar to the spinal joints. If these joints don't move properly, they can create pain just like what occurs in the spine. Chiropractic care and specific muscle work is very effective in treating these issues.

Sciatica can be multifaceted including improperly aligned vertebrae in the lower spine and overly activated muscles. The misalignment and loss of normal joint motion due to prolonged stress will cause excess muscle tension, immobility and pressure on the nerves which can radiate into the lower extremities. Chiropractic care is a drug and surgery free way to help!

It is a misnomer that chiropractic care is unnecessary for children. If you watch a child play, you can see the many times they trip, fall, or get hurt each week. As an adult these traumas would cause instantaneous symptoms in most of us. Children' bodies are more resilient, but they will often portray their discomfort in other ways, such as crying, lack of restful sleep, tantrums, bed wetting or ear infections. These are all signs that your child's spine and nervous system are in need of care.
