WHAT WE TREAT

MUSCULOSKELETAL SPECIALISTS

Chiropractic is the third largest health profession in the world, after medicine and dentistry. Chiropractors treat all common back and neck problems that are not of a surgical nature. There are many related conditions which Chiropractic can help: pinched nerves, headaches and migraines, shoulder, knee, hip and other joint dysfunction.

LOW BACK PAIN

Misalignment or dysfunction in the low back (lumbar spine), sacro-iliac joints and hip

joints can cause pain, stiffness, difficulty with movement, discomfort when sitting and sleeping as well as referred symptoms to the leg and foot - numbness, pain, tingling, etc. The most common cause of back pain is facet syndrome - read more.

NECK PROBLEMS

Misalignment or dysfunction in the neck can cause pain, stiffness, headaches and migraines as well as referred symptoms to the arm and hand. Shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, bursitis and other arm, elbow, wrist and hand syndromes often stem from a neck problem. Read more.

HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES

A very common cause of headaches at the back of the head, is vertebral misalignment and muscle tension in the lower neck. Frontal headaches and migraines are usually caused by misalignment or dysfunction in the upper neck and base of the skull. Read more.

PINCHED NERVES

Misalignment or dysfunction in the spinal joints and discs can cause pain, numbness, tingling and other symptoms that refer to the arms, legs and head. A pinched nerve can be incredibly painful and often oes not respond well to medication. The answer is to remove the cause and reduce the source of continuing inflammation. Read more.

JOINT PROBLEMS

All joints can strain, sprain, misalign, become inflamed from overuse or become aggravated from a problem somewhere else  (eg the spine). The first step is to establish what is wrong and whether it is best treated by a chiro, physio or surgeon.

CORE PHILOSOPHY

Chiropractors have long understand that a well aligned spine has profound health effects. Research has shown in study after study that if the spine is in good health, then so are the nerves. Every cell in our body is innervated by nerves and disturbance (pinching or irritating) these nerves leads to a myriad of potential symptoms as shown in the chart below. For this reason, Chiropractors recommend period adjustments of the spine to maintain good nerve health as well as good mobility.
