Types of Injuries We Treat

We help our patients recover from back pain, neck pain and other pain that results from auto accidents. Some of our patients were injured on the job, and we help to rehabilitate them until they're able to conduct daily activities and go to work once again. In some cases, our patients require chiropractic care because they suffered a personal injury such as a slip or fall. We treat patients who have been assaulted or battered as well.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia classifies as a disorder that causes widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, headaches, anxiety and depression. It's not always known what triggers fibromyalgia to develop, so we focus on treating the symptoms, sometimes individually. Our chiropractor may conduct a spinal alignment in order to take pressure off of the discs in the spinal column, which will help relieve neck and back pain and headaches. We may use massage therapy to relieve pain. We also use massage therapy to promote a better night's sleep, which will in return help reduce fatigue, and it's useful in reducing depression and anxiety, too.

Headaches

By using spinal manipulation, we're able to relieve some of the tension in your neck, which could cause you to suffer from headaches or migraines. Spinal alignments optimize blood flow, and the excess nutrients could correct a vitamin deficiency, which could be leading to your headaches. If your headaches resulted from stress or anxiety, we're able to relieve some of the pain through massage therapy.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a neck injury that usually occurs during a rear-end collision and causes the neck to propel forward and backward rapidly. For whiplash, we may use massage therapy, but our main course of action is a spinal alignment. A spinal alignment will realign the discs and vertebrae in the neck, which takes pressure off of the discs and muscles. It also allows blood to flow through the neck more effectively, so you heal quicker. Additionally, we help our patients go through a series of exercises that help to stretch the neck. The exercises relieve pain while increasing the range of motion and function of your neck.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a symptom of many conditions such as pregnancy or a herniated disc. Usually, we use spinal manipulation in order to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. In some cases, we'll use hot and cold therapy to numb the sciatic nerve and soothe the muscles around it.

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel is a condition that affects the median nerve in the wrist. When the nerve is compressed, it can cause pain and numbness in the wrist that extends up the arm. Commonly, it occurs in patients who work on a computer or who keep their wrists in an upright position for prolonged periods of time. We may recommend a brace for you to wear while you sleep. Our chiropractor will guide you through exercises that will alleviate your pain.

Degenerative Disc Disease or Bulging or Herniated Disc

If you hurt a disc or have a chronic disc condition such as degenerative disc disease, our chiropractic doctor may conduct a spinal alignment to reduce pain and discomfort and to promote healing. Our chiropractor may use other treatments such as spinal decompression as well.
