Pregnancy Related Pains
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes that can affect posture, pelvic mechanics, and spinal comfort. These changes may lead to back pain, pelvic discomfort, or muscle tension.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic care is adapted for pregnancy using gentle, individualized techniques to support comfort, mobility, and pelvic balance throughout pregnancy.
Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and migraines are common conditions that can significantly impact daily life. Tension-type headaches and cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches are often associated with muscle tension, joint restriction, postural strain, or prolonged screen use. Migraines are a neurological condition that may involve head pain, nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances. While migraines are not caused by spinal issues, musculoskeletal factors may contribute to symptom frequency or intensity in some individuals.
How chiropractic care helps:
Chiropractic care focuses on identifying and addressing musculoskeletal and postural factors that may contribute to headaches and migraines. Care may include gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve neck and upper back mobility, soft tissue techniques to reduce muscle tension, and education on posture, ergonomics, and movement habits. Treatment is individualized and may be used as part of a collaborative approach alongside medical care to help support comfort, function, and quality of life.
Neck Pain and Stiffness
Neck pain and stiffness can develop from prolonged screen use, poor posture, stress, repetitive movements, or previous injuries such as whiplash. Limited joint motion and muscle tension in the cervical spine can lead to discomfort, reduced range of motion, and difficulty with daily activities like driving or sleeping.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic care focuses on restoring healthy joint movement in the neck, reducing muscle tension, and improving overall mobility. Adjustments and soft tissue techniques help decrease mechanical stress, while posture and movement guidance support long-term neck health.
Lower Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal concerns and may result from prolonged sitting, improper lifting, muscle imbalance, or joint restriction. It can affect daily function, work performance, and quality of life.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic adjustments help improve mobility in restricted spinal joints, while soft tissue techniques address muscle tightness and imbalance. Movement education and exercise recommendations help support spinal stability and reduce recurring strain.
Mid (Thoracic) Back Pain
Mid-back pain is often linked to poor posture, desk work, limited spinal mobility, or rib joint restriction. Reduced movement in this area can contribute to stiffness, discomfort, and even difficulty with deep breathing.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic care improves mobility in the thoracic spine and rib joints, helping to restore normal movement patterns. This can improve posture, comfort, and overall spinal function.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can arise from overuse, poor posture, repetitive movements, or restricted joint motion in the shoulder, neck, or upper back. Limited mobility can interfere with lifting, reaching, and daily tasks.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic care focuses on improving joint mechanics of the shoulder complex, reducing muscle tension, and addressing contributing spinal restrictions to support smoother, pain-free movement.
Elbow and Wrist Pain
Elbow and wrist pain are commonly associated with repetitive strain, overuse, or prolonged gripping activities such as golf elbow, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome. These conditions can impact work, hobbies, and everyday function or even your sleep.
How chiropractic care helps: Care may include joint mobilization, soft tissue techniques, and movement strategies to reduce mechanical stress, improve mobility, and support tissue recovery.
Hip Pain
Hip pain can result from joint restriction, muscle tightness, altered gait patterns, or compensation from the lower back or pelvis. Discomfort in the hip can affect walking, sitting, and exercise.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic care addresses joint mobility and muscular balance around the hip and pelvis, helping to restore efficient movement and reduce strain on surrounding structures.
Knee Pain
Knee pain often develops due to movement imbalances, joint stress, or compensation from the hips, ankles, or feet. Activities such as walking, running, or climbing stairs may become uncomfortable.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic care evaluates the entire lower body to address contributing joint and movement dysfunctions, supporting improved knee mechanics and reduced strain.
Muscle Tightness and Mobility Limitations
Muscle tightness and reduced flexibility can limit movement, increase discomfort, and affect physical performance or daily activities.
How chiropractic care helps: Soft tissue techniques, joint mobilization, and movement-based recommendations help reduce tension, improve flexibility, and support better overall mobility.
Ankle and Foot Pain
Ankle and foot pain can impact balance, posture, and overall movement. Joint restriction or muscle tension in the feet and ankles may contribute to discomfort or altered gait.
How chiropractic care helps: Care focuses on restoring joint mobility and supporting proper movement patterns to improve stability, comfort, and function.
Postural Strains and Repetitive Injuries
Poor posture and repetitive activities place ongoing stress on muscles and joints, often leading to chronic discomfort or stiffness over time.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic care addresses joint mechanics, muscle balance, and posture while providing education to support healthier movement habits and ergonomic awareness.
General Aches and Pains
Daily activities, physical stress, and lifestyle demands can contribute to general aches and discomfort throughout the body.
How chiropractic care helps: Chiropractic care supports healthy movement by improving joint mobility, reducing muscle tension, and helping the body move more efficiently for improved comfort and function.
