What are some of the problems Chiropractic helps?

Headaches

Millions of headaches sufferers turn to the natural, drug-free chiropractic approach to health. That’s because chiropractic has a unique healing approach – chiropractors are the only health professionals trained to analyze your body for a serious and often ignored condition. Those conditions can damage your nerves, cause tissue inflammation, may cause muscles to tighten and knot, weaken your body, cause fatigue and set the stage for sickness and disease.

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is very common. About 85 percent of the population will experience disabling lower back pain at least once during their lives. The problem is so bad that, according to one researcher, at any given time 6.8% of the US adult population is suffering from an episode of back pain lasting more than two weeks. The standard medical approach to back pain varies depending on the severity of the condition. Muscle relaxers, painkillers, rest and physical therapy such as traction, ultrasound, hot packs and cold packs are sometimes used. These approaches are often found wanting however. Even bed rest has been found ineffective for a serious form of back pain. Chiropractic is very effective in treating lower back pain, allowing the individual to return to normal activities faster and better educated to avoid future reoccurrence.

Neck Pain

Your neck is comprised of many important structures: bones (vertebrae), nerves, blood vessels, glands, voicebox (larnyx), esophagus (food pipe), muscles, ligaments, tendons and other structures. Your amazing neck balances your heavy head and turns, tilts and bends without damaging its vital occupants. Proper alignment and function must be maintained to avoid neck problems and pain.

Sports Performance

Chiropractic is used by top players in sports as diverse as tennis, ballet, boxing, biking, racing, golf, soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, handball, rugby, running, and weightlifting. Chiropractors help keep the athletes on the field and help stop minor injuries from becoming major ones without the use of drugs or surgery.
