What conditions benefit from chiropractic care?
Chiropractic is best known for relieving low back pain. However, people go to chiropractors for many other conditions. If you were to visit a chiropractor’s office, you would find patients there with conditions including neck and shoulder problems, headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee problems, fibromyalgia, infantile colic and even ankle sprains.
Although chiropractic is used most frequently to relieve back and neck pain, studies and clinical evidence have found it to be effective for a variety of conditions, such as migraine and tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia dysmenorrhea, ear infections, and infantile colic.
The majority of our cases are musculoskeletal in origin, such as herniated or bulging disc, degenerative arthritis of the spine, neck pain, headaches, mid back pain, shoulder pain, elbow, wrist, ankle pain, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, work related injuries, personal injuries such as car accidents. We also treat sciatica, heel spurs, tendinitis, bursitis, post herpatic neuralgia (shingles). We also consult on dietary supplements and rehabilitative exercises.

Chiropractic has helped millions of people worldwide suffering from all types of problems and not just back and neck ailments. Chiropractic works with the spinal column and it’s intimate relationship with the nervous system – the major controller of all bodily functions. By optimizing spinal column structure and biomechanics, irritation and stress are removed and health can once again be achieved. You may be surprised to learn that research studies have provided scientific evidence showing chiropractic care is not only effective in the treatment of back and neck ailments, but can also provide effective relief with children suffering from ear infections, women suffering from dysmenorrhea (painful menses), and a number of other seemingly “non-spinal” conditions.
