Treatment

Pain
Chiropractic care can provide relief for painful neck, spine and joint conditions. Chiropractors adjust misalignments of the facet joints and vertebrae to not only revive the nerve signals and improve spinal health, but also improve overall physical health. Many chiropractors make these adjustments by using a thrust technique, called manipulation.

Chiropractors also take into consideration how nutrition, emotion, and environment affect a patient’s health. Your chiropractor will assess your posture during daily activities, work, and sleep, and suggest ways to improve your day-to-day spinal alignment.

Headaches
Because headaches are so common, some people have become resigned to the belief that suffering from headaches has to be their new normal for life. It is estimated that 20-30% of adults have more than one episode of tension-type headache a month, and headaches result in a significant number of missed work days, with negative impacts on the personal lives of sufferers.

To medical professionals, headaches are an indication that something is wrong, and chiropractic treatment has been found to be very effective in treating many types of headaches.

A frequent and overlooked cause of headaches is malfunction of the spinal bones in the neck and upper back. When bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can be affected. Any time spinal nerves and related tissues are extended or irritated, they can produce throbbing headaches. Aspirin and medications may cover up these warning signs, but do not correct the underlying structural cause.
