COMPREHENSIVE PAIN TREATMENT
Healthy Spine Family Chiropractic was created for the necessity of custom made chiropractic treatment for all ages.
We understand that not all bodies are the same and so your chiropractic treatment will be tailored to you.
BACK PAIN
Studies show that on average 80% of our population will suffer from back pain during their life. And for a lot of these people, it will affect their overall lifestyle over a long period of time, as well as their health.
Back pain is experienced through irritation to your nervous system. Your nervous system is the only system in the body that actually feels pain. So, if you are experiencing back pain, it is because there is something irritating the nervous system.
Chiropractic care is the best way to deal with back pain, and seeing a chiropractor should be your first move after experiencing back pain. To properly care for your back, you should have regular checkups with your chiropractor just as you would with your dentist and medical doctor.
NECK PAIN
The health of your neck is very important, and when you feel pain in your neck it is a warning. Your body functions under the control of your central nervous system which starts in your brain and turns into the spinal cord running through the 7 bones in your neck into your spine. From there, the nerves branch out into your body between the bones in your neck and spine to control every system in your body. By “every system,” I mean every muscle, every organ, every function…everything including every cell in your body. Your neck is the gateway between your brain and the rest of your body. So, when your neck is out of alignment, it will affect the rest of your body.
When there is any type of interference to your nervous system, your body will not function optimally. You will get sick more, have more headaches (Neck pain is a leading cause of headaches. 95% of headaches originate in the neck), have a weaker immune system, sleep issues, more severe allergies, numbness and tingling running down into your arms, and a lot of times people start experiencing things like anxiety and depression. Leaving subluxations, or misalignments, that cause neck pain untreated can lead to additional problems.
PINCHED NERVE
A pinched nerve can manifest itself through many symptoms. In each case, the nerve is being irritated, feeling pressure from inflammation, or being pinched.
Symptoms associated with pinched nerves:
Neck Pain
Headaches
Spinal Pain
Mid or Lower-back Pain
Shoulder Pain
Pain radiating down their arm or leg
Limiting Range of Motion due to Muscle spams
Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the arms, legs, or even toes
AUTO ACCIDENTS
Whiplash:
Whiplash is a non-medical term used to describe neck pain following an injury to the soft tissues of your neck (specifically ligaments, tendons, and muscles). It is caused by an abnormal motion or force applied to your neck that causes movement beyond the neck’s normal range of motion The most frequent cause of whiplash is a car accident. The speed of the cars involved in the accident or the amount of physical damage to the car may not relate to the intensity of neck injury; speeds as low as 5 miles per hour can produce enough energy to cause whiplash in occupants, whether or not they wear seat belts.
