The Top Conditions Chiropractic Care Helps With

If you’re tired of putting up with pain and turning to OTC medication to get relief from your symptoms, chiropractic offers an incredibly effective and all-natural way to address your discomfort.

At Alexander Chiropractic and Wellness, we love helping patients get out of pain and return to all of the activities they love in life. Let’s take a look at the top three conditions we see at the practice and how our drug-free care can help:

Easing Neck and Low Back Pain

Neck and low back pain often prompt people to seek chiropractic treatment. These ailments stem from various sources, such as poor posture, prolonged sitting, or injuries. Our chiropractors address these issues through precise spinal adjustments, relieving nerve pressure and restoring spinal alignment. With techniques like ArthroStim®, Activator®, Diversified, and drop tables, they realign the spine, promoting proper nervous system function.

Stop the Pounding: Soothing Headaches

Many people don’t realize that chronic headaches can often be linked to spinal issues. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can trigger tension headaches and migraines. Chiropractic adjustments target these misalignments, reducing nerve irritation and improving blood flow to the brain, providing much-needed relief.

Help for Other Issues: Sciatica and Radiating Pain

Sciatica, characterized by radiating pain from the lower back down the legs, can significantly impact daily life. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive way to alleviate this discomfort through techniques like flexion distraction. This movement-based treatment gently decompresses the spine, reducing pressure on nerves and offering relief from radiating pain.

Other Tools for Comprehensive Care

Beyond spinal adjustments, our chiropractors use different tools to address pain and discomfort. For instance, specialized tables enable flexion distraction, providing a soothing stretch that decompresses joints. Additionally, shockwave therapy or laser therapy is available in some of our clinics to target specific areas and accelerate healing.

Chiropractic As a Healthy Lifestyle Habit

Every patient’s healing journey varies based on factors like age and how long they’ve had the issue. While some may experience immediate relief, most patients see the best results with consistent visits. “Chiropractic isn’t just a treatment for short-term relief; it can actually be viewed as something that you incorporate into your lifestyle, just like going to the gym or eating healthy; it’s something that’s good for you,” said Dr. Breanna Murphy.
