| Chiropractic care helps your body achieve maximum wellness by ensuring that all of its components are functioning normally. This is achieved by removing spinal subluxations that irritate the nervous system, suggesting dietary changes to avoid common problem foods, testing for allergies that may be stressing the nervous system and suggesting changes to the home to help reduce exposure to toxic chemicals. | |
| ADHD | ADHD is relatively common and emerges during early years. Common signs are inattention, hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, and difficulty concentrating. |
| Allergies | The immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to coordinate their proper functioning. Misalignment can cause an imbalance in your nervous system function. |
| Asthma | Spinal adjustments relieve muscle soreness and discomfort that develop during asthmatic flare-ups, and can reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. |
| Back Pain- Lower |
Low back pain affects more than half the adult population each year. Injury and pain results because it is unsupported, unlike the thoracic spine, which is supported and stabilized by the rib cage. |
| Back Pain- Upper/Neck |
Your neck and head are much like a bowling ball held on top of a stick by small, thin, elastic bands. It doesn’t take much force to disrupt that delicate balance. Nerves running to the arms, neck and upper back can be easily pinched, causing numbness, tingling, cold, aching, and ‘pins and needles.’ |
| Bedwetting | Bed-wetting may be a sign that stress or disease is causing a problem. Chiropractic can remove irritations that affect nerves that control bladder function. |
| Carpal Tunnel |
CTS is caused by pressure on the median nerve just above the wrist and injuries can result from activities like typing, chopping, hammering, or pushing. |
| Ear Infections |
Caused by improper drainage of the lymph system in the neck, or the muscle that is supposed to keep bacteria or viruses from entering the eustacean tubes. |
| Fibromyalgia | This chronic disorder can include muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points, sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, headaches, R.L.S., I.B.S., etc. |
| Headaches | A 2001 Duke University report found that “spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for headaches that originate in the neck . . .” |
| Pinched Nerve | Nerves become irritated and inflamed when the bones, joints or muscles of the spine are not in their proper position. This condition is called a “½subluxation.” |
| PMS | PMS is characterized by mood swings, swollen abdomen, headaches, back pain, food cravings, fatigue, irritability or depression preceding the monthly period. |
| Pregnancy | As baby grows the weight causes the curvature of the lower back to increase, placing extra stress on the fragile facet joints on the back side of the spine. |
| Sciatica | Pain in the pelvis, hip, buttocks and leg can be relieved through a combination of stretches, deep tissue massage of the piriformis muscle and chiropractic care. |
| Scoliosis | Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine that causes stiffness and pain. Untreated it can lead to severe back pain, deformity, and difficulty breathing. |
| Slipped Disc | Discs don’t actually ‘slip’ but may herniate or bulge out from between the bones. A herniation is a displaced fragment of the center part or nucleus of the disc that is pushed through a tear in the outer layer or annulus of the disc. |
| Stress | Stress is pressure on your mind or body and results in increases blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, metabolism, and blood flow to your muscles. |
| Whiplash | Whiplash is an extremely rapid extension and flexion that causes injuries to the muscles, ligaments and tendons. |
