Inline Chiropractic

Even a smaller fender bender can leave you with lasting injuries. Though you may not realize it, your neck, back, and joints could be suffering. Often times the extent of an injury is not fully realized until later due to all the stress and adrenaline in the moment. If you begin to notice painful symptoms, it may be time to have your spine looked at by one of the chiropractors in our clinic. We can help to reduce the initial discomfort, inflammation, muscle tightness and reduce the buildup of scar tissue.

Perhaps you have been suffering from migraines or tension headaches for years and have only been taking pain medication to ease discomfort temporarily. But did you know that migraines and headaches are often closely related to the alignment (or misalignment, more specifically) of your spine? According to a study in the Journal of BioMed Research International, headache symptoms significantly decreased with vertebrae realignment, resulting in a higher quality of life.

During pregnancy, women experience many changes. As a fetus grows, it places increased pressure on the mother’s spine and during pregnancy a woman’s body creates a hormone called Relaxin that actually makes the joints more loose, but often times also less stable as the body prepares for delivery. The chiropractors in our office work with many pregnant mothers to help relieve some of the discomfort that comes with pregnancy and to ensure that the spine and pelvis is properly aligned before delivery.

Because our chiropractors are fully vested in your health and wellness, they need to learn as much about your condition and past relevant medical history as they can before treatment, so each new patient visit begins with a little paperwork. To make it as convenient as possible our front desk staff are there to answer questions, and if you have access to a printer or are comfortable enough doing it at home, the paperwork can be found on our website. Our in office treatments always begin with an assessment in which we discuss any physical problems that you are experiencing and with determining your comfort level with the variety of chiropractic options that we offer. We always document our assessment of your current condition as well as your treatment plan, in order to compare and actively manage your recovery.

Neck and back pain can be chronic or episodic, and can be due to trauma or repetitive stress. Sudden damaging movements like whiplash from a sports injury or car accident can be the source of a lot of pain in the neck, and sometimes the back. Activities involving repetitive movements or prolonged abnormal positioning can be equally traumatic.Neck and back pain can be the result of simply spending too much time at the computer, starting a new exercise routine, heavy lifting, or other common manual labor tasks. Even poor posture can have negative long-term and short-term effects on the health of your neck and back.For neck pain, chiropractic treatment often involves manipulation of the vertebrae within the neck or upper back, a hands on approach to restoring motion within the joints. By restoring the motion or eliminating the restriction in these joints, it is common to see a reduction in pain quite quickly, causing there to be reduced muscle spasms and less pressure.

The most common kind of treatment involves a chiropractic adjustment or spinal manipulation (the care that brings about a popping noise as a result of realignment). Popping noises are caused by small pockets of air that form and are trapped within the fluid of the joints; when the joints are stretched the air bubbles can be hear making a “popping” sound, similar to opening a can of soda. Many other methods are also used to align the spine and joints, many that don’t involve popping. There are a variety of reasons to seek chiropractic treatment. Some common reasons for seeking care are lower back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, headaches, fatigue, and many other conditions. Another very common reasons for visiting a chiropractor is also due to motor vehicle accidents – even a small collision can result in some shifts in your spinal alignment and muscular performance. Chiropractic medicine isn’t all about treating the injury, it is about treating the patient.
