WHAT WE TREAT

Kid holding ADHD sign

ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Is a condition that is normally noticed in children.  Studies have shown this disorder can be caused by an overactive nervous system, added to a decrease in the brain's inability to filter different sights, sound, thoughts and emotions.

Chiropractic care can't treat ADHD, but can help with the stress on the child's nervous system.

Allergies

The most frequent cause of allergies is immune and respiratory system hypersensitivity.

They are unable to function properly when the spinal cord's regular contact with the brain is disrupted. 

To determine whether chiropractic care may be a good alternative to lessen your allergic symptoms, we provide upper cervical examinations.

Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a specific type of arthritis that is chronic, progressive, and often debilitating, characterized by the symmetrical joint involvement and the age at which it begins.

It differs from the more common osteoarthritis often known as wear and tear, spondylosis, a degenerative joint disease that can be excruciatingly painful, and if left untreated, it frequently develops into a chronic illness. 

Our chiropractic care focuses on easing the stiffness in joints built up from immobility and lack of use from pain, and relaxing tight muscles aimed at maximizing joint function and mobility.

Asthma

Chiropractic care is frequently used to address symptoms like asthma. The immune system or the respiratory system may be too sensitive, which might result in these allergic reactions in the body.

Your system depends on the brain and spinal cord communicating normally for it to function properly. Therefore, if your neck is out of alignment, your system function may be off balance. 

The good news is that we can perform an upper cervical assessment to see whether chiropractic care can significantly reduce your asthmatic reactions.

Car accident

Auto accident

Whiplash injuries from auto accidents can be very serious and need to be treated seriously. You might not be aware of how seriously hurt you are because symptoms might not appear straight away.

Whiplash is one of the most frequent injuries to the neck. The muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of your neck and upper back might sustain serious injury if your head is suddenly forced to move (in any direction).

The longer you wait to get help, the more probable it is that complications may develop and that the injuries will become permanent. It is therefore better to be safe than sorry even though you might not be in pain right now.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The lack of grip power, tingling, burning, numbness, and wrist pain are just a few of the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. 

The longer you wait to get help, the more probable it is that complications may develop and that the injuries will become permanent. It is therefore better to be safe than sorry even though you might not be in pain right now.

Ear Infections

The majority of ear infections are brought on by the neck's lymphatic system draining incorrectly. When the eustachian tubes that connect the throat to the nose cannot keep bacteria and other viruses from invading them, it causes the infection.

By restoring the healthy functions of the neck tissues, chiropractors can help them overcome discomfort. 

These neck tissues are strengthened to enable proper neck function, which helps lower pressure and prevents fluid buildup.

Fibromyalgia

If you have fibromyalgia, you may experience symptoms including migraines, excruciating cramping during your period, restless legs syndrome, memory, and cognitive issues, and trouble sleeping.

These symptoms typically manifest slowly, in the early years of adulthood. It is a long-lasting condition that could even continue forever. One of the finest approaches to addressing this condition is chiropractic. 

Chiropractic care can help prevent the muscles from becoming overly tight, maintain them from losing their range of motion, and lessen muscle pain, all of which are symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Frozen Shoulder

Initial joint pain and limited mobility are symptoms of frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis. Injury, abuse, inactivity, myocardial infarction, and upper torso surgery are the usual culprits (arm and shoulder surgery or mastectomy).

Any one of them can tighten the joint, reducing mobility. Fortunately, our massage therapists & chiropractors can assist in treating frozen shoulder issues.

Exercises and physiotherapy performed in-office can aid in reducing discomfort and expanding range of motion.

Headache & Migraine

Any people suffer from headaches or migraines, whether the pain is sharp, dull, behind the eyes, all over, lasting a couple of hours, or even a couple of days.

They are typically brought on by tension. A persistent band-like pain, tightness, or pressure around the forehead or the back of the head and neck is referred to as a tension headache.

The circumstances of each patient can differ, but a chiropractic adjustment and manipulation of the upper two cervical vertebrae can be very beneficial.

Lower Back Pain

Back pain is ranked as the second most common reason for people to go to the doctor.

Since the lower back is such an unstable region of the spine, discomfort and damage are far more likely to occur there. Lower back discomfort can be brought on by strained muscles, ruptured disks, stretched ligaments, bad posture, stress, and obesity.

Chiropractors may only need to alter your pelvis and lower lumbar vertebrae to properly cure your back.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease that results in the deterioration of the bone structure and the loss of bone tissue.

Those bones that carry the most weight are primarily affected (pelvis, femur, and lumbar vertebrae). Fractures of the hip and lumbar spine are a direct outcome of bone loss.

Chiropractic care, such as correcting spinal misalignments and optimizing nerve system functioning, will allow your body to use proper nutrition and exercise to benefit your body, keeping your bones strong and healthy.

Woman with Slipped Disc

Slipped Disc

Discs that herniate or protrude out between the bones are referred to as slipped discs. When this tear happens, it releases irritating substances, which then affect and swell this tear when it touches the nerve.

Poor disc health can be caused by a variety of factors, including bad posture, smoking, lack of exercise, and poor nutrition. Simple stretching and exercise treatment can be used to treat mild occurrences of slipped discs.

Advanced cases may require the same, with added mechanical or traction decompression. In rare cases, the slipped disc may be severe enough for surgery, but this is considered a last resort.
