Conditions Treated
Common Musculoskeletal Conditions Treated
Chiropractic
has provided effective relief to millions of individuals suffering from
back and neck ailments. Chiropractic has also provided relief from
many other musculoskeletal complaints ranging from knee and ankle
problems to carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. In fact,
musculoskeletal pain or discomfort in any area of the spine or
extremity is a candidate for safe, natural, noninvasive chiropractic
care. If a condition exists which is better suited for treatment
by a medical specialist, chiropractors are fully trained to identify
such conditions and make the appropriate referral. However, most
patients suffering from musculoskeletal complaints can and are
successfully treated with chiropractic every single day.
Common musculoskeletal conditions treated:
- low back pain and stiffness
- neck and upper back pain and stiffness
- mid back pain and stiffness
- headaches and migraines
- leg pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
- arm pain, weakness, numbness and tingling
- extremity joint pain and dysfunction

Common Injuries Treated
Chiropractors
commonly treat all types of injuries and recognize the unique findings
associated with each. For example, it's important to understand that
auto injuries often involve a delayed onset of symptoms which commonly
surface weeks and even months post-accident. In work
injuries, chiropractors routinely look beyond the actual injury and
address such things as work station setup, ergonomically correct
equipment, and proper work techniques. For sports injuries,
chiropractors often check for biomechanical and muscle imbalances as a
routine part of the treatment plan. Treating the whole person and
optimizing health is what chiropractic is all about.
Common injuries treated:
