Our chiropractor uses several treatment modalities in our back pain treatment plans. Some of the treatments used include spinal manipulation, spinal decompression, heat therapy, ultrasound therapy, and cryotherapy. Our doctor may evaluate the nutritional needs of a patient and include dietary recommendations as a part of a back pain treatment plan.In addition, our chiropractor assesses the positioning and the strength of patients’ bodies. Our chiropractor’s observations may lead to patients being placed on an exercise regimen to help strengthen key muscle groups. This aids in the recovery process and helps minimize the risk of future injury.

Whiplash is a common condition that results from an auto accident. Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are forced suddenly in one direction and then violently in another direction. This back-and-forth action may lead to a sprain of the ligaments in the neck. Whiplash will cause stiffness in the neck and can make even the simplest of daily activities a painful experience. It is also very common for the pain from such an injury to manifest hours or even days after the accident.Herniated discs are another common injury that results from an auto accident. This injury occurs when a spinal disc ruptures, causing the soft internal material to leak into the general area. A herniated disc can irritate the nerves in the back and send shooting pain throughout the extremities. Herniated discs do not always require surgery and can often be treated using chiropractic care. Our chiropractor can provide adjustments to the affected area to reduce irritation, provide pain relief, and hasten recovery.Finally, we also see a lot of headaches following car accidents. When most people think of chiropractic care, treatment of the back and neck comes to mind. But did you know that a chiropractor can help with tension headaches and migraines too? Our chiropractic adjustments can improve your blood flow and reduce muscle tension. Both of these factors have been found to provide relief from headaches. Best of all, chiropractic care is natural and drug-free, allowing you to avoid any nasty side effects from pain medication.

Massage therapy offers multiple benefits for your physical and mental health, such as the following:

• Relieves musculoskeletal pain and tension
• Improves your blood circulation, which helps heal musculoskeletal injuries
• Increases muscle flexibility and range of motion
• Restores body function and mobility
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Strengthens your immune system

Chiropractic massage therapy can be used to treat neck pain, shoulder pain, and back pain caused by musculoskeletal issues, chronic diseases, soft tissue injuries, migraines, and high blood pressure. Since the results of massage therapy are cumulative, the benefits will only increase after each session.

Chiropractic care and treatment of sciatica does not provide a one-size-fits-all solution. Every patient is different and as such, the recommended treatment plan will be different from person to person. Our chiropractors focus on removing the pressure that impinges the sciatic nerve and restoring the patient's range of motion and flexibility.A combination of massage therapy and chiropractic adjustments are often very effective when used to treat sciatica. Our massage therapist loosens and relaxes your tight muscles which allows for enhanced blood flow to the area. Once the affected muscles have relaxed and responded to the massage therapy, the patient receives a gentle spinal adjustment from our chiropractor to remove pressure from the sciatic nerve.

Our treatment focuses on identifying the multiple issues that are causing your headaches or migraines. Every person is different, and an appointment with our chiropractor can help you understand what could be causing your migraines. Our chiropractor will look for triggers and create a personalized treatment plan for you. Some common causes of migraines are stress, diet, and long hours sitting in front of a computer screen. A lot of headaches are caused by remaining stationary for a long time. It's a good idea to keep moving and stretch every 20-30 minutes to prevent headaches before they happen. Migraines can be triggered by certain foods or lifestyle habits. Our chiropractor will identify these and tell you how to avoid them.
Many people don’t realize that your spine contributes significantly to whether or not you experience headaches and migraines. Chiropractic care is effective in reducing chronic neck pain that can cause headaches and migraines. The adjustment will help to improve the alignment of the spine, and it helps prevent tension buildup. An adjustment will also reduce pressure on your nervous system and prevent headaches or migraines. You will leave an adjustment with a better understanding of what triggers your pain. Our professional team will also give you exercise tips, posture tips, and breathing techniques to relieve your headaches.

Chiropractic care for neck pain involves using gentle adjustments and stretches to release trapped nerves, loosen stiff muscles, and reduce restrictions caused by tight tendons and ligaments in the neck. During treatment, our chiropractors treat the source of your pain and look for other areas that may have been affected by neck pain. Releasing all of the impacted tissue through chiropractic treatment effectively reduces or eliminates the dependency on painkillers for relief. Seeking treatment early on prevents existing conditions from worsening.
The neck, also known as the cervical spine, has multiple ligaments, tendons, and muscles that work with each other to help you move. When these soft tissues get irritated or inflamed, you can feel sensations like sharp pain, stiffness, tenderness, soreness, and pain that radiates around your neck and upper body. You may also have limited motion of your neck. If your neck pain is persistent, severe, or accompanied by other symptoms like numbness and headaches, it is time to see us for chiropractic treatment.
