PAIN MANAGEMENT
Chiropractic care generally falls under a more holistic branch of medicine.
Chiropractors treat conditions related to your body’s structure. Their goal is to relieve pain and improve function. They don’t prescribe drugs or do surgery.
Rather, they adjust or manipulate your spine and other body parts to get them in the right position, or proper alignment.
Chiropractic care is based on the idea that when your body is in proper alignment, you have a better chance of healing yourself.

One moment everything may seem fine, when suddenly you’re involved in a collision. You may think its not serious enough to see a doctor or chiropractor. But many injuries, even if you believe they're minor, can linger if left untreated. An untreated accident-related injury can impact you life for years after the initial damage.
A visit to a chiropractor should always follow an auto accident, as chiropractors are specialists in damage to soft and hard tissue. If an injury is present, a treatment plan can begin at once, and if no injury is found, peace of mind is a priceless thing.

Migraine Headaches affect a staggering 37 million Americans! As featured on NBC news, research has shown that chiropractic spinal manipulations can decrease migraine frequency, decrease pain, and reduce the need for migraine medication.
Chiropractic care and neck manipulation helps reduce overall stress, and relieves pressure on the spinal cord, which may in turn reduce the effect of migraines.
Other triggers for migraine headaches may also include certain foods or drinks. Your chiropractor can also help you narrow down these triggers for better treatment and real results.

Chiropractors treat this type of pain with chiropractic adjustment and/or physical medicine. The chiropractor might also teach you how to avoid straining your SI joint. Also, he or she might give you some exercises to strengthen your core muscles, which are the muscles that support this joint.

HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC WORK?
Chiropractic care is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment through manual adjustment and/or manipulation of the spine.
Pain along the spinal column in your neck or back is usually caused by subluxations, or misalignments of your vertebrae. A small misalignment can cause pain by causing pressure on nerves. Left untreated, these subluxations can cause muscle spasms and increasing pain.
Chiropractic adjustments properly align your spine so that pressure on joints and nerves is released.
It is a direct treatment for the cause of the pain, not a temporary relief like pain relievers.

If you work in a warehouse, you could twist the wrong way, causing injury. If you work in a department store, you could slip and fall, causing injury. If you work on a construction crew, you could lift the wrong way, causing injury. If you work in an office, the repetitive motion could cause injury. We think you get the point, no matter the setting or precautions taken accidents happen.
