Other Conditions
Beyond handling spinal issues with expertise, chiropractors provide comprehensive care to promote optimal health. Pain is an indicator that something is off, and we can usually see some dysfunction that is causing the pain. Here are some conditions that can accompany or lead to back pain and headaches.
-
Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints, leading to pain and reduced mobility. We can help manage arthritis by providing personalized treatment plans that include adjustments, exercises, and lifestyle recommendations to improve joint function and alleviate discomfort.
-
Herniated discs can cause significant pain and discomfort, often impacting daily activities and quality of life. We address herniated disc issues through chiropractic care, focusing on assessing the spine and surrounding structures to identify the source of the problem. Our approach involves gentle adjustments and targeted techniques to alleviate pressure on the affected disc, reduce inflammation, and relieve associated symptoms such as radiating pain or numbness. Additionally, we may recommend specific exercises, postural corrections, and lifestyle modifications to support long-term spinal health and recovery from a herniated disc.
-
Oftentimes, low back pain can present as a radiating pain that travels down the leg. These are neurological signs of a condition that is creating pressure on the spinal cord or one of its branching nerves. Gentle Flexion-Distraction technique is shown to improve these symptoms by 50% in just four weeks.
-
This condition is caused by a narrowing of the spinal canal, causing symptoms that severely affect daily living as well as causing severe pain. These patients are usually advised a pricey, invasive spinal surgery. 10-40% of those patients require another surgery to correct or amend the procedure within five years. Flexion-Distraction technique is a cost-effective, conservative treatment that has saved thousands of people from requiring surgery.
-
Arm pain that feels like it is radiating may be a sign of compression of the spinal cord or a spinal nerve. This pain can be serious and life-changing. Using gentle adjustments of the cervical and thoracic spine, Dr. Ethan can improve those symptoms substantially over the course of a month.
-
Migraines can be debilitating, impacting daily life and productivity. We address migraines through chiropractic care, focusing on assessing the spine, neck, and nervous system to identify potential triggers and underlying factors contributing to migraine episodes. Our approach involves gentle adjustments and specialized techniques to improve spinal alignment, reduce tension in the neck and shoulders, and alleviate nerve irritation. Additionally, we may recommend lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and nutritional guidance to support long-term migraine management and reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
-
Dizziness and vertigo can be disorienting and affect daily activities. Addressing these issues through chiropractic care, focusing on the alignment of the spine, neck, and head. By conducting a thorough assessment, we can identify any underlying factors contributing to dizziness or vertigo, such as vestibular dysfunction or cervical spine misalignment. Our treatments may include gentle adjustments to improve spinal alignment, specific exercises to enhance balance and coordination, and lifestyle recommendations to support overall well-being. With our comprehensive approach, we aim to alleviate symptoms, improve stability, and enhance quality of life for individuals experiencing dizziness and vertigo.
-
General muscle soreness is an expected occurrence after doing a big workout or working all weekend in the yard. But if you’re sore after doing normal activities like a short walk or cleaning the floors, there may be something else going on. Or are you only struggling with certain actions like raising your arms overhead or bending over? I work hard to find the root cause so you can experience life more fully.
-
All joints are treatable by chiropractic, but some are more notorious for causing pain than others. Our ankles, knees, and hips take much of the stress from our bodyweight and are vital in basic activities like sitting and walking. The wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints are vital for our ability to maneuver things in our life. Chiropractic can help restore function to those joints through the adjustment and supportive exercise.
-
Carpal tunnel pain can be a debilitating condition that affects daily activities and productivity. We address carpal tunnel pain through chiropractic care, focusing on assessing the wrist, hand, and upper extremities to identify any underlying factors contributing to the discomfort. Our approach involves gentle adjustments and specialized techniques to improve joint function, reduce nerve compression, and alleviate pain. Additionally, we may recommend ergonomic modifications, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to support long-term relief and prevent recurrence of carpal tunnel symptoms.
