Top Signs You Need a Chiropractor

Headaches

Migraines and chronic headaches can be caused by muscle tightness, stiffness in your neck or upper back, or by nerve irritation. You may  need a chiropractor to help reduce or completely alleviate the irritation and stiffness causing your headache, using non-invasive treatments.

Joint or Muscle Pain

A chiropractor is highly trained in treating nerve, muscle, and joint pain. In the United States, 62% of adults have neck or back pain so severe they seek medical treatment, and 53% of these people sought relief from their chiropractor. If you are one of these people, you may need a chiropractor to provide noninvasive remedies that are successful in treating joint and muscle pain.

Tingling in Your Hands or Feet

Do you need a chiropractor for your tingling hands or feet? A chiropractor can address the cause of the nerve irritation by releasing the pressure causing the nerve constriction with minor alignment adjustments. While your chiropractor can provide relief for your tingling hands and feet, they can also recommend longer-term solutions such as daily stretches or improvements to your posture.

Chronic Back Pain or Neck

Pain

Maybe the pain in your back or neck started out small and has become more severe over time. You may  need a chiropractor to get back on track and in alignment again. A chiropractor is well versed in treating chronic neck and back pain with drug-free adjustments, therapies, stretching, and recommending general lifestyle improvements.

Limited Range of Motion

You may need a chiropractor when simple activities like putting on your shirt or reaching for the top shelf become difficult. Your chiropractor can diagnose the issues contributing to your limited range of motion and provide the appropriate short and long-term treatments.

Recent Accident

While an accident can happen in a matter of seconds, the residual pain it causes can last for years. You likely do need a chiropractor after an accident that has left you with back pain or whiplash. Your medical doctor may be quick to provide you with pain killers or suggest corrective surgeries but be sure to ask a chiropractor about non-invasive and drug-free treatments.

Jaw Pain or Grinding Teeth at Night

Teeth grinding/clenching at night or bruxism is a common sleep disorder. It’s often associated with jaw pain and headaches. The muscles on the side of your head move frequently during the day, but when you lay down, the tight muscles attempt to relax by moving back and forth. You may need a chiropractor  to release the tension in the muscles under stress.

Scoliosis Diagnosis

If you have a scoliosis diagnosis, you may  need a chiropractor. Scoliosis is a complex condition that is unique to each individual, and chiropractors are specially trained to treat scoliosis. They provide customized treatments that may include therapies to reduce muscle and spine tension, and for some people, corrections may be made to scoliosis.

Flat Feet or Swollen Arches

Do you need a chiropractor for flat feet or swollen arches? While most people think of chiropractors adjusting the neck or spine, chiropractors can also relieve the sharp, stabbing pain caused by plantar fasciitis by manipulating and adjusting your feet and ankles.

Poor Posture

Chiropractors see patients with poor posture that’s caused by pain, sitting with electronics or general unawareness of the correct posture. You may  need a chiropractor to assess and recommend corrections to your sitting and standing posture. Highly educated in proper bone and muscle alignments, your chiropractor can make posture corrections to eliminate long-term muscle and joint pain.

Improve Overall Health

If you’re looking to improve your overall health, you  need a chiropractor to assist you. A chiropractor like those at Aligned Medical Group have the training and expertise to treat muscular and joint pain and prevent future injuries in addition to offering guidance for lifestyle improvements. Contact us online or call  610-644-3166 to schedule your first appointment on your path to a better quality of life!
