CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT:
A Doctor of Chiropractic is a specialist in spinal musculoskeletal disorders. He or she is expertly trained to diagnose and treat the many musculoskeletal injuries that may occur on the job or in your daily life.
Upon injury, the individual often alters the normal position or flexibility of the spinal vertebrae. Chiropractic treatment is designed to restore normal alignment and thus minimize pain and suffering. Gentile manipulative therapy or “adjustment” is often effective in rapidly returning the injured person to a productive status. The doctor of chiropractic can also provide guidance with advice designed to reduce work-related injuries, proper lifting procedures and therapeutic stretching exercises.
Headaches are common in our fast-paced, pressure-filled world. Additionally, if your neck and/or back are out of alignment, this can affect nerves, muscles, and even blood flow to your head. Too often, we turn to over-the-counter medications to relieve our discomfort. Unfortunately, these only mask the underlying sources of pain.
Chiropractic Care Can Help
Because headaches can be caused by problems in the spine, specifically the neck, chiropractic care has provided significant relief to headache and migraine sufferers. Chiropractic care realigns the vertebrae, removing stress from nerves and providing relief from pain. A study of 6,000 people who suffered from recurring headaches for two to twenty-five years showed that spine injury was the most significant factor in the cause of the headache and should be suspected in every nonspecific case of headache.
Studies have also shown chiropractic care resulted in a reduction of 90% of migraine episodes with the length of each migraine reduced by 38%. In addition, medication use dropped 94% and other symptoms associated with migraine such as nausea, vomiting, photophobia (light and sound sensitivity) were reduced.
Treatment Goals
Chiropractic care realigns the vertebrae and removes stress from nerves. Ice, heat, electrical stimulation, traction or spinal decompression therapy may be utilized to restore proper movement to your spinal column, permitting greater energy, information and nutrients to flow over nerves and tissues and throughout your body.
Additionally, Physical Medicine provides benefits utilizing a range of treatment options including massage, exercises for flexibility, strength, stability and restoration of range of motion. Our goal is to return you to normal activity as quickly as possible and to get more health back into your life. We know that being healthy is more than just the absence of pain – true health includes having the ability to do what you need and want to do! The foundation for good neck and back care starts with posture. Bad posture can be the cause of spinal pain, it can make existing pain worse, and it certainly can make the pain last a lot longer. Poor posture is also a factor in conditions such as chronic headaches, TMJ dysfunction and shoulder pain. Many people spend large portions of their day sitting or performing tasks that require bending forward or lifting.
Posture correction training is the ability to correct muscular imbalances, postural distortion patterns, and joint and muscle pains by reconditioning the body to perform better within the kinetic chain structural integrity. Posture correction training strengthens weak muscles or muscles that are not working properly and increases flexibility and muscle and joint mobility with proper stretching.
