Chiropractic Care
In the simplest terms, chiropractic is a form of healthcare focused on correcting misalignments or subluxations of the joints in the spine and throughout the body. A subluxation in the spine is when the vertebrae become restricted in movement, resulting in misalignments. When your vertebrae are misaligned, the result is decreased mobility, muscle tension, and irritation of the spinal nerves. You develop symptoms, such as pain, reduced function, and interference of nerve signaling throughout the body.
How Does It Help?
Your nerve system controls and coordinates every function of your body. Interferences with the signals traveling over these nerves disrupts proper communication in parts of your body, and those areas will not function at the optimal level. Compound this with the inflammation and tissue injury from having limited joint mobility, subluxations can result in degenerative changes over time, as we see often in people in the Excelsior community. This reduces activity levels and diminishes quality of life.
Chiropractic adjustments are focused on improving movement and function of the spine and extremities. This can relieve pain in the neck, back, and joints as well as decreasing pain caused by disc herniations, disc bulges, and neuropathy.
If you are uncertain if chiropractic care is right for you, come in for an examination, and we will recommend the best tailored plan of care for your needs. The primary conditions treated by chiropractors are those involving the muscles, joints, and nerves, or neuromusculoskeletal problems. These include:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Sciatica
- Headache and migraines
- Numbness and tingling
- Injuries from sports, car accidents, and repetitive motions
Chiropractic can also help with other joint and muscle conditions, such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Frozen shoulder
- Osteoarthritis
- Knee pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- TMJ
- Sciatica
- Pregnancy-related pain and ease labor and delivery
Due to the positive effects of chiropractic care on the nerves, there is evidence supporting the use of adjustments for non-musculoskeletal issues, such as:
- Fibromyalgia
- Colic in children
- Ear infections
- Allergies
