Low Back Pain and Neck Pain
Persistent and recurring pain in your neck or back is often caused by a spinal misalignment. Even a small misalignment can cause pain in the joint, surrounding muscle tissues and even pinch a nerve. Left untreated, this often leads to joint arthritis and worn down spinal discs.
​
Chiropractors look for misalignments and dysfunction in the mobility of the spinal vertebrae. These are then corrected via specific manipulative techniques known as spinal adjustments. The goal is to restore alignment, mobility and correct muscle balance.
Headaches and Migraines
Many people believe that headaches are caused by stress, tension, diet, anxiety, etc. While these are all valid causes, the most common underlying
cause of recurring headaches is misalignment or poor movement of the vertebrae in your neck. This can originate in the joints themselves or be the result of muscle tension.
In fact, 80% of all headaches originate from the neck. With a typical cervicogenic (neck origin) headache, a person usually feels pain starting at the base of the skull which radiates into the temples, eyeballs, and forehead. Massage of the neck and shoulder muscles can release tension, and a chiropractic adjustment can realign the vertebrae in your neck. Chiropractic can help eliminate the cause of your headaches rather than offering a temporary relief from the symptoms.
Pinched Nerves and Sciatica
When a nerve is squeezed or compressed it is called a “pinched nerve”. This can be caused by spinal misalignments, bulging or herniated discs, or other factors. The increased pressure on the nerve causes inflammation, pain, and sometimes muscle spasms. The pressure on the nerve must be relieved in order to alleviate the pain.
​
Sciatica is the most common type of pinched nerve and causes pain from the low back, through the buttock to the leg and foot. Bulging discs, spinal subluxations, and muscle spasms can all cause increased pressure on the sciatic nerve. When this happens it causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower back and leg. To properly treat sciatica the cause needs to be diagnosed and properly treated. Your chiropractor can help you do this.
Joint Dysfunction
Joint dysfunction occurs when joints misalign or become stiff and movement is restricted. It can be caused by an injury, poor posture, overuse/underuse of a joint, muscle imbalance, as well as other factors. Like arthritis, joint dysfunction can cause pain in the joint and the surrounding muscles, and can also cause problems in other parts of the body due to overcompensation.
Common sources of spinal joint dysfunction include sacroiliac joints, facet joints, disc problems, muscular imbalance causing joint dysfunction, etc.
.
Your chiropractor can properly diagnose this condition and provide relief. The goal is to restore proper alignment and mobility allowing inflammation and pain to subside.
