Back Pain

Back Pain

If you are experiencing discomfort, stiffness, or chronic pain in your back, you're not alone. Back pain is a prevalent issue that affects millions of people worldwide. Fortunately, chiropractic care offers a natural and holistic approach to alleviate pain and promote overall spine health.

Chiropractors use a variety of manual techniques to realign the spine and promote proper 
function. Some common techniques include:
  1. Spinal Adjustment: Chiropractors perform gentle and controlled movements to adjust misaligned vertebrae, relieving pressure on nerves and restoring proper nerve function.
  2. Soft Tissue Therapy: This involves applying pressure to specific muscles and soft tissues to reduce tension, improve blood flow, and accelerate healing.
  3. Stretching and Exercise: Chiropractors often prescribe tailored stretching and strengthening exercises to enhance flexibility, improve posture, and prevent future injuries.
  4. Lifestyle and Posture Recommendations: Chiropractors offer valuable advice on ergonomics, proper lifting techniques, and lifestyle modifications to support spinal health and minimize the recurrence of back pain.

Our experienced chiropractors are dedicated to providing personalized care to help you achieve a pain-free and active lifestyle. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards a healthier, pain-free back.






Headaches

Headaches


Some estimates suggest that 25 percent of the population has a headache right now. Because headaches are so common, most people think it is a normal part of life. Headaches, however, are a sign that something is wrong. We know that stress, toxic fumes, certain foods and preservatives, and even alcohol can cause headaches. A frequent and overlooked cause of headaches is the malfunction of spinal bones in the neck and upper back. When the bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, the sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head become compromised. When these delicate tissues are stretched or irritated, they can produce certain types of headaches. While aspirin or other medications may cover up the symptoms, they do not really correct the cause of the headache.

New research published in Chiropractic & Osteopathy supports the case for using chiropractic spinal manipulation to treat cervicogenic headaches. A team of researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, compared the effects of spinal manipulation treatment to light massage on a group of 80 patients suffering from cervicogenic headaches. They found that over a 12-week period, 42% of study participants who received spinal manipulation treatment reported significant pain reduction compared to just 23% of those who received massage. During that same period, the chiropractic group experienced a greater reduction in the number of headaches (64% versus 46%) and reported that pain interfered less with their daily activities. After 24 weeks, patients in the chiropractic group continued to experience greater benefit from their treatment, with 56% reporting that their head pain was less disabling compared to 38% improvement among the control group. Over three-quarters of participants who received spinal manipulation treatment noted some reduction in the number of headaches during the course of the study.




Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Chiropractic care offers a safe and gentle approach to promote a healthier pregnancy, ease common pregnancy-related issues, and prepare the body for a smoother birthing process.  Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on the special needs of expectant mothers. 
Pregnancy causes hormonal changes, weight gain, and shifts in the body's center of gravity, which can put extra strain on the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors with specialized training in prenatal care understand these unique challenges and employ gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques to provide relief and support.

Pregnancy is a unique and personal experience, and so is chiropractic care during this time. Our chiropractors are highly trained in prenatal care and will take the time to understand your individual needs and concerns. They will create a personalized care plan to support your well-being throughout your pregnancy journey.


Sciatica

Sciatica

Sciatica, which is also known as sciatic neuralgia, is a condition that causes pain in the lower back, down the back of the leg, and into the foot. It can make sitting and standing for long periods of time difficult and can lead to weakness, tingling, and numbness in the leg and foot.

It will often come and go throughout a person’s lifetime, causing periods of varying degrees of pain and discomfort. If left unchecked, sciatic pain will generally grow worse and the nerve can become permanently injured.Chiropractors are highly trained to zero in on the source of sciatica and to work with the patient in determining the most suitable approach to treatment. After a thorough assessment of the individual’s unique issue, gentle adjustments are made that will allow the body to recover its natural alignment.

Some people respond very quickly while others take more time to recover. It really depends on the condition of the disc or the joints that the chiropractor has to correct. In most cases, the longer the issue persists, the longer it will take to achieve correction. The great news is that it typically takes less time to fix an issue like this than it took to create it. Once the position of the spine and discs are improved, patients often report improvements to their overall health. If you are experiencing symptoms of sciatica call our team at Favorite Family Chiropractic today.
