Common Conditions
Neck & Back Pain
Neck pain, also known as cervicalgia, is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives.
Neck pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by numerous other spinal problems. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical vertebrae. Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back.
The head is supported by the lower neck and upper back, and it is these areas that commonly cause neck pain. The top three joints in the neck allow for most movement of the neck and head. The lower joints in the neck and those of the upper back create a supportive structure for the head to sit on. If this support system is affected adversely, then the muscles in the area will tighten, leading to neck pain.
Chiropractic care is especially effective in treating neck pain and injuries.
It can help realign the spine and ease any swelling as the neck heals.
Headaches & Migraines
Disturbances of your upper cervical spine may be a source of the electrical signal that is interpreted as a headache in the brain, including migraine headaches. All structures that are affected by C1, C2, and/or C3, can trigger migraine headaches when irritated and/or inflamed.
With Chiropractic care we can alleviate the disturbance, which allows your nerves to function fully and without pain.
Chronic Pain
Our focus is on removing interference to your nervous system. In doing so, your body and brain can communicate as they should. We correct the structure of your spine to remove this interference. Along with chiropractic adjustments, we provide you with lifestyle advice and home exercises so that you can stay healthy.
Our primary techniques are Chiropractic BioPhysics®, Torque Release Technique®, and Activator®.
Chiropractic BioPhysics, or CBP, is based on making precise measurements and determining where your spinal structure needs to be corrected.
Torque Release Technique is equally specific, yet gentle.
The Activator is an instrument, making it ideal for people who don’t tolerate manual adjustments well.
Subluxation
Subluxation is a misaligned spinal bone which causes compression, tension, irritation and damage to the Central Nervous System. The Central Nervous System totally controls all functions and healing the human body. Misalignments of the Spine (Subluxations) can cause malfunction in the body as well as poor healing.
Subluxations are caused by:
Slips
Falls
Auto Accidents
Poor Posture
Bad Sleeping Habits
Stress at Work
Lack of Exercise
Poor Nutrition
Toxins
Or even from your very first day following the birth process your spine endured
