Chiropractic Topics

Sprains and strains are common injuries to the soft tissues in the body such as the ligaments, muscles and tendons. If you’re experiencing symptoms of a sprain or strain, we can help diagnose the condition and relieve symptoms.

Heavy technology use can stress your muscles and spine, resulting in “tech neck” or “text neck.” This can result in headaches, stiffness, and even arthritis and breathing difficulties. Chiropractic can reduce your risk of tech neck and treat its effects.

Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tissue that attaches your muscles to your bones. Left untreated, tendonitis can lead to chronic pain and further injury, but chiropractic care can help you heal naturally.

Stretching and strengthening exercises can increase flexibility, create joint stability, improve posture or decrease pain, so they are often part of a chiropractic treatment plan.

Trigger point therapy entails putting pressure on “trigger points,” or tender nodules found in the muscle, to release tension, relieve pain and correct dysfunction of a muscle.

Spinal manipulation (adjustment) is the main form of treatment performed by chiropractors. There are many adjustment techniques, and all have the goal of relieving pressure on joints, reducing inflammation and improving nerve function.
