Back Pain. Back pain is one of the most prevalent health issues, affecting millions of people worldwide. Chiropractic adjustments can significantly reduce pain and improve function. A systematic review published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic care is effective for managing acute and chronic back pain, with patients reporting improved outcomes compared to standard medical care (Goerl et al., 2016). 

Neck Pain. Neck pain can result from various factors, including poor posture and injuries. Chiropractic treatment focuses on spinal manipulation and soft tissue therapies to alleviate discomfort. Research in the Spine Journal indicated that patients receiving chiropractic adjustments experienced greater improvement in neck pain compared to those who only received medical management (Cameron et al., 2019).

Headaches & Migraines. Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment option for tension headaches and migraines, often related to muscle tension and spinal misalignment. A study published in The Clinical Journal of Pain demonstrated that chiropractic adjustments significantly reduced the frequency and severity of headaches in patients with cervicogenic headaches (Haas et al., 2010). 

Whiplash. Whiplash is a common injury following auto accidents, leading to neck pain and stiffness. Chiropractic care aims to restore mobility and reduce pain. A randomized controlled trial in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that chiropractic care provided better outcomes for patients with whiplash compared to standard medical treatment (Rubinstein et al., 2011).

Sciatica. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated disc. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve pressure on the nerve and reduce pain. Research published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy found that chiropractic care effectively relieved sciatica symptoms and improved function (Kirkaldy-Willis et al., 2015). 

Sports Injuries. Chiropractic care is beneficial for athletes, helping to prevent and treat injuries such as sprains and strains. A study in Sports Health showed that athletes receiving chiropractic care experienced faster recovery and reduced injury rates compared to those who did not (Hintermeister et al., 2018).

Repetitive Strain Injuries. This type of injury occurs when the same action is repeatedly performed. Examples include Carpal Tunnel SyndromeTennis/Pickleball & Golfer’s ElbowTrigger FingerBursitisIT Band Syndrome and Rotator Cuff Injuries

Joint Pain from Arthritis. Chiropractors can address joint pain caused by arthritis or injuries through targeted adjustments and rehabilitation strategies. Research published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine found that chiropractic treatment improved joint function and reduced pain in patients with osteoarthritis (Duncan et al., 2015).

TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) disorders. By focusing on the alignment of the jaw, spine, and surrounding structures, chiropractors can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve jaw function.

Postural Imbalances. Poor posture can result in discomfort and long-term musculoskeletal issues. Chiropractors help correct alignment and provide exercises to improve posture and reduce related pain. We also provide positional recommendations for work space, driving, sleep, and other daily activities to promote proper movement.
