There are various symptoms of pain, however they are not all listed here. For more information regarding certain pains you are experiencing, please contact our office.
Neck and Shoulder Area:
The cervical (neck) portion of the spine is shaped like a slightly reversed letter “C.” This position disperses the forces of gravity evenly throughout the bones, discs (shock absorbers) and other tissues throughout the neck. If the curve is lost (various reasons can cause this), then the weight of the head is compressed downward. This generally causes muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. *Chiropractic adjustments generally relieve this pressure, greatly reducing the pain while creating a healthier, functioning neck.
Headaches:
There are numerous reasons why headaches occur. One type is cervogenic (coming from the neck). A misaligned neck will cause muscles to spasm slightly creating a tightness that irritates the nerves and produces pain and headaches. *Chiropractic adjustments of the neck have been proven to reduce headaches of this nature.
Lower Back:
I have found in my practice that some of the most severe pain deals with disc bulges that press on a nerve. The pain can be excruciating, cause sensory and motor (muscle) loss and may lead to surgery. At all costs, my focus is to reduce the possibility of this problem ever manifesting. Although this issue can feel like it came “out of blue,” it most likely has been years in the making. Often a misaligned back and vertebra that do not move normally will cause this type of pain and is a warning sign that possible disc involvement may increase. A great defense against eliminating this situation is chiropractic care and core strengthening. Studies have shown that NOTHING is more effective for reducing acute back pain than chiropractic care. *Low-force adjusting available.
Hands-on experience is a crucial component when providing sports care. Having worked closely with numerous sports teams, like the USF Dons, and orthopedists, we have created a unique way to evaluate problems, figure out how to correct them and give exercises and therapy to reduce pain. We also focus on a highly specialized approach to Core Strengthening.
Core strengthening is our way of improving ligament structure in the pelvic area. Most chiropractors give all of their attention to strengthening the muscles and adjusting joints. But we like to go one step further and work with the true foundational “core” of the body. The ligaments in the pelvic area are very important; they are where we hold a lot of our body weight every day. When we stand they are tight and give support to the hips. And when we sit they will expand a little to handle the compressive effects of body weight. Sometimes sitting for extended periods of time allows the ligaments to weaken, creating on overall weakness in the core and lower back pain
Our specialized approach to Core Strengthening will improve the chronic back issues, sports performance and reduce potential back injuries. Please contact us to learn more about our Core Strengthening program.
