What We Can Help With


 ALLERGIES

Chiropractic can help decrease the severity and the frequency of your allergies. Chiropractic does not work like an anti-histamine as a direct short term relief from your allergies. Chiropractic allows your body to handle fighting off those allergies.

Allergies are caused by a reaction by your immune system to an allergen (substances that normally have no effect on people) that can result in sneezing, coughing, congestion, hives, rashes, and in severe cases, seizure and some times anaphylactic shock. These symptoms are caused by the histamines your immune system creates in order to protect your body against the allergen.

If you are suffering from allergies, chiropractic can help you find the relief you need. Schedule an appointment today.
DISC PROBLEMS

If you received trauma to the spine, which is causing the discs to herniate, bulge, become displaced (slipped disc), or to rupture, you may be experiencing a lot of discomfort unnecessarily. Surgery is very risky, expensive, and requires longer recovery time. Quite often, you can experience relief from these conditions through chiropractic care. By properly aligning the spine, the pressure will be relieved on nerves and on the discs themselves. This will reduce and ease your pain and discomfort, which will allow you to live a normal lifestyle. 
WHIPLASH

Whiplash is a widespread injury for people involved in motor vehicle accidents. When a motor vehicle is struck from behind or collides with another object, it can cause the neck to snap back and forth very violently. This can cause the muscles and ligaments to be overextended, which leads to strains and/or tears. We can help perform adjustments and alignments to help the pressure on the discs and nerves. When you receive proper alignment, your pain will naturally decrease over time. It's important to call as soon as you've been injured, call us today to learn more.

OSTEOARTHRITIS

Chiropractic has very successfully treated arthritis in our patients. Naturally, over time, the cartilage between joints can wear down. Some of the major joints that this happens with are the hips, neck, back, hands, and wrists. If you are tired of dealing with the pain and taking pain killers, which only offer temporary relief, give our team a call today.
JOINT DISFUNCTION

Joint dysfunction can occur when the joints become stiff, and full movement is highly restricted. This can be caused by an injury, poor posture, overuse/underuse of a joint, muscle imbalance, and other factors. Just like arthritis, joint dysfunction can cause much pain in the joint and the surrounding muscles, and can also cause problems in other parts of the body due to overcompensation. We can help accurately diagnose this condition and provide you with much-needed relief. If you have any type of joint pain, visit us for relief. 
NECK AND BACK PAIN

Pain along the spinal column in your neck or back is usually caused by subluxations or the misalignments of the vertebrae. A tiny misalignment can cause pain by causing much pressure on your nerves. If left untreated, these subluxations can cause muscle spasms and increasing discomfort and pain. Chiropractic adjustments will properly align your spine so that the pressure on joints and nerves is released. If you are experiencing back or neck pain, schedule an appointment with us today! 

HEADACHES

If you are experiencing tightness in the neck or shoulders, as well as headaches, this is probably due to the misalignment in the vertebrae of your neck. You may notice the pain starts at the base of your neck then find it radiates into your temples, eyeballs, and forehead. If you are ready to release that tension, and say goodbye to your headaches, our chiropractic service can help eliminate the cause of your headaches rather than offering a temporary relief from symptoms. 
SCIATICA

If you've ever felt pain, numbness, and weakness in your lower back and leg, you probably have a condition known as sciatica. The cause of sciatica is bulging discs, spinal subluxations, and muscle spasms, which can all cause increased pressure on the sciatic nerve. Call us today for treatment so you can find relief from the pain of sciatica.
 PINCHED NERVE

When a nerve becomes squeezed or compressed, it is known as a "pinched nerve." A pinched nerve can be caused by spinal misalignments, bulging or herniated discs, and other factors. The increased pressure on the nerve can cause inflammation, pain, and often times, muscles spasms. Our team is experts at treating pain caused by pinched nerves. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Carpal tunnel is very common with people who perform any motion repetitively, such as typing and also having poor posture while sitting for an extended period of time. If you are experiencing numbness, weakness, or a burning sensation in your hands, arm, or fingertips, you may want to visit us. We can help relieve any of the pain associated with carpal tunnel.
 FIBROMYALGIA

Fibromyalgia is a condition that the medical industry knows very little about. There is no specific cause, and it could be brought on by several different factors. The main symptom of fibromyalgia is chronic pain throughout the person's body, mainly located in the joints. The pain can be achy, sharp, radiating, burning, or shooting, and it can be mild or severe. Fibromyalgia has also been known to bring on other conditions like trouble sleeping, random headaches, migraines, depression, and anxiety. We can help get relief from any of the symptoms you are experiencing due to fibromyalgia, so give our professional team a call today to learn more and find the relief you need.
