Spine Related Conditions

• Neck Pain - According to current research, most spine related conditions are of a functional origin, not structural. In other words, it is the way your neck is functioning that is the problem, not the arthritis or disc bulge you may (or may not) have. Research also shows most spine related conditions respond well to the combination of manipulation, manual therapy and rehabilitation.
• Headaches - Tension headaches as well as cervicogenic headaches (headaches originating in the neck) are some of the most common types of headaches people experience. Research shows these headaches respond well to the use of manipulation, various forms of manual therapy (trigger point therapy) and rehabilitation.
• Mid/Low Back Pain - According to the current research, most spine-related conditions are of a functional origin, not structural. In other words, it is the way your low back is functioning that is the problem, not the arthritis or disc bulge/herniation you may (or may not) have. Research also shows most spine related conditions respond well to the combination of manipulation, manual therapy and rehabilitation.
• Disc Herniation / Degeneration – Current research shows that chiropractic care including manipulation, manual therapy and rehabilitation results in positive outcomes in disc related conditions. Typical treatments include manipulation, manual therapy and spinal rehab as well as Class IV deep tissue laser and other ancillary therapies.
• Spinal Stenosis - Current research shows that chiropractic care is an effective treatment for this condition, which involves narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramen, the space where the nerve roots exit the spine.
• Scoliosis - The spinal curvatures associated with scoliosis leave the spine vulnerable to many of the same functional issues present in non-scoliotic spines. (Joint immobility and muscular imbalances) Although chiropractic care cannot “cure” scoliosis, the goal is to restore and maintain as much normal function in the spine as possible.
• Osteoarthritis - Although there is no known cure for osteoarthritis, research shows that the combination of mobilization, manual therapy and rehabilitation often results in better mobility and less pain. Deep Tissue Laser therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing the associated inflammation responsible for much of the pain.

Extremities

• Hip Pain - Conservative therapies such as Deep Tissue Laser Therapy, Joint Mobilization, Dry Needling, Manual Therapy and Rehabilitation have been shown to be very effective in the treatment of the most common hip conditions.
