General Pain

Scientific research has shown that chiropractic corrective care can significantly decrease pain throughout the body by removing neurological interference, like pressure on the nerves, and helps to restore proper biomechanics to the spine.

Here are the results:

Decreased low back pain
Improved range of motion
Decreased muscle spasms and inflammation
Decreased pain, headaches and migraines
Decreased medication consumption
Reduced medical expenses and workdays missed
Reduced possibility of surgeries and injections
Improved quality of life

People of all ages benefit from chiropractic care because it restores optimal function to the nervous system and allows the body to heal as it’s designed to, often without medications or surgeries. Who do you know that would benefit from a healthy, functioning nervous system?

Commonly Seen Lower Extremity Pain and Problems

Conditions and pain experienced in the lower extremity area of the body primarily involve the soft and hard tissues in your hips, knees, and ankles, and are often the result of prolonged wear and tear, injury and/or overuse. Chiropractors will likely take x-rays of your body and see where subluxations occur throughout your spine to best correct these pathways and allow for you body to heal and function as it is meant to, without interference.

Hip Problems

Your hips are critical joints in the body, controlling most of your movement. Injury or dysfunction to this area can result in pain ranging from sharp to dull or numbing and tingling. Some common conditions and symptoms we see and treat in our office include bursitis (joint pain caused by burning and swelling), sciatica (nerve pain that extends from buttock to legs), strains (inflammation) and arthritis.

Knee Problems

Your knee contains intricate muscles, tendons, ligaments and cartilage and that come together to keep everything in place, but is one of the most commonly injured joints in the body. Pain and symptoms can arise from conditions such as bursitis, runner’s knee (front and outside knee pain), tendonitis (inflamed tendons in the knee), degenerative arthritis and strain (ACL, MCL or meniscus). Ensuring proper form while walking or doing activities, as well as corrective chiropractic care can help take care of these important parts of the body.

Ankle Problems
