Do chiropractors only treat back pain?
Chiropractors treat much more than just backs. We also treat extremities (ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, etc.). Some other conditions we can help with are; high blood pressure, constipation, immune function, sinus problems, digestion, heart burn, dizziness, fatigue, etc. We are trained to as primary health care providers. Much like your medical doctor. Here is and example: Your complaint is heartburn. Heartburn is caused from stomach acid leaking outside of the stomach where it is NOT suppose to be. Why is your stomach ‘leaking acid’? Chiropractors look for irritation on the nerves that control the stomach. If there is a problem here (typically this area is ‘between the shoulder blades’) we will adjust those misaligned joints and remove the irritation from these nerves and allow your stomach to function properly. This will also get rid of you pain between your shoulder blades! If your specific condition is not suitable for chiropractic care, proper referral will be mad
