HEADACHES 50% Of People Suffer From Regular Headaches Headache disorders affect about 50% of people every day. It is estimated that almost 1 million days of school and 160 million days of work are missed each year in the United States due to headaches and complications arising from them.

Headaches are painful sensations in the head, often ranging in intensity from dull to sharp. There are over 150 types of headaches that are typically broken down into two categories.

Primary headaches are caused by dysfunction in the structures of the head and neck. Some common types of primary headaches are migraines, tension headaches, and cluster headaches. Secondary headaches are much rarer, and are classified as symptoms of an underlying medical condition, such as hypothyroidism.

PROAdjuster

Chiropractic is a safe and natural alternative to common headache remedies like over the counter medications. Ask your Chiropractor how the ProAdjuster can gently and comfortably realign your spine and restore function to the structures in your neck to help you find relief from headaches.

When Rubbing Your Neck Doesn’t Seem To Help Over 180 million people in the United States report experiencing neck pain each year. Neck pain is often caused by the things we do everyday, like spending long hours hunched over the computer.

To understand neck pain, it is important to understand how the neck is engineered. There is a curve near the top of your spine that helps absorb the shock of your head resting on your neck. This curve is called the lordosis. The lordosis helps your neck stay flexible enough to perform a wide range of motions, but also strong enough to support the weight of your head.

Bad posture, misaligned vertebrae and even old age can affect the curve of the lordosis, which then stretches the ligaments supporting your neck, causing them to lose their functionality.

PROAdjuster

Chiropractic is proven to be an effective therapy for correcting posture, restoring the curve of the spine, and improving function of the surrounding tissues in the neck. Ask your doctor how the ProAdjuster can help identify areas of dysfunction and provide treatment to help you find relief.

UPPER BACK

* Statistics include both upper & lower back cases

Poor Posture Stresses The Upper Back Although less common than neck or low back pain, upper back pain still affects over 80 million people in the United States each year, and results in over $138.6 billion in associated health care costs.

The upper back is composed of twelve vertebrae, twenty-four ribs, and multiple layers of muscle that work together to maintain proper alignment and posture to keep the back stable, and to help protect vital organs, such as the heart and lungs.

Poor posture, overuse, or pressure on the nerves from problems with the spine can manifest as pain in the thoracic spine. The muscles will tighten up or spasm, and begin to pull on the bones of your vertebrae, shoulder blades, and ribs, which can cause muscle tightness and pain in the upper back.

PROAdjuster

Consistent Chiropractic care can help realign the spine and relieve strained muscles in the upper back. The ProAdjuster can analyze your spine and provide precise, comfortable treatment to restore function and alignment to help relieve and prevent pain.

80% Of Americans Will Experience Low Back Pain Whether you’re an athlete at the top of your game, or just trying to keep up with the kids after sitting all day at work, chances are you’re one of the 80% of Americans who will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives.

Pain in the low back can vary drastically in intensity, onset, and cause.

Most low back pain is acute, meaning it will typically only last for a few days to a few weeks. However, about 20% of people suffering from acute back pain will develop chronic pain that continues for 12 weeks or longer, even if the initial cause has been treated.

This makes it extremely important to properly treat acute instances of pain in the low back, as well as taking appropriate preventative measures to help avoid injury altogether.

PROAdjuster

Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in finding the cause of and treating your lower back pain. Ask your doctor how the ProAdjuster can help identify areas of deficit and comfortably restore motion in your lower back to help relieve pain and prevent further injury.

SHOULDER Shoulder Pain During Exercise? Consider The Cause.

The shoulder is both one of the most mobile joints in the body and one of the most vulnerable. Understanding the unique structure of the shoulder joint is essential for treatment or injury prevention.

Your shoulder is a ball and socket joint made up of three bones: the humerus (upper arm bone from shoulder to elbow), your scapula (shoulder blade), and your clavicle (collarbone).

The humerus fits into a rounded socket in your shoulder blade, called the glenoid. The humerus is held in place in the glenoid by a special combination of muscles and tendons called your rotator cuff.

These are the components that help give the shoulder such a wide range of movement. But with so many moving parts, the shoulder is particularly susceptible to injury.

PROAdjuster

Regular Chiropractic treatment of the shoulder can help realign the components of the joint, reducing stress on the soft tissues. Ask your doctor how the ProAdjuster can analyze and restore function to the shoulder joint to help relieve pain.

Repetitive Stress Is Common Cause Of Elbow Injuries Wear and tear injuries of the elbow are less common than in joints like the shoulder, but overuse and underlying conditions can lead to pain or discomfort, lack of functional mobility, and a diminished quality of life for those suffering from elbow pain.

The elbow itself is actually made up of two separate joints that work in tandem to allow you to both extend and flex your elbow, and rotate your hand and forearm.

As you bend your elbow or rotate your wrist, the bones making up your elbow joint rub and slide together. Overuse, inflammation of the soft tissues, and broken bones are among the most common causes of elbow pain and dysfunction, but certain underlying conditions like Rheumatoid arthritis can also be a factor.

PROAdjuster

Ask your doctor how Chiropractic care can help you manage your elbow pain and restore function to the joint. The ProAdjuster can help identify areas of functional deficit and provide comfortable treatment to help restore motion and relieve pain.

WRIST/HAND Mobility & Stress Make The Wrist Injury Prone Wrist pain is another common condition with a variety of different causes that can severely impact your ability to accomplish daily activities.

Like the elbow, the wrist is actually made up of eight smaller joints located where the bones of the hand and forearm meet. These joints are formed by smaller bones, called Carpal bones, that are grouped in two rows across the wrist. This complexity of the wrist joint leaves it particularly vulnerable to injury and dysfunction.

Trauma, overuse, and underlying conditions can all contribute to wrist pain. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, for example, is a common condition caused by a pinched or pressured nerve in the wrist, that can result in pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand.

PROAdjuster

According to the American Chiropractic Association, most patients who use Chiropractic to manage their wrist pain recover completely, with a low recurrence rate after treatment. Ask your doctor how the ProAdjuster can help you find relief from your wrist pain or discomfort.

Is It Osteoarthritis, Bursitis Or Tendonitis?

As with other parts of the body, there are many factors that might contribute to wear and tear on the joint, and produce pain in the hip. Understanding the contributors to pain and the anatomy of the hip often helps in treating pain or discomfort in the area The exact location of your hip pain can provide clues as to whether or not it stems from dysfunction in the joint or soft tissues or is a symptom of a more serious underlying condition.

Pain in the groin or inside of the hip tends to indicate a problem with the joint itself, while pain in the area surrounding the hip is often a result of problems with the soft tissues. There are also a number of other conditions that can result in hip pain and discomfort, like tendinitis, osteoarthritis, or bursitis.

PROAdjuster

Chiropractic care has been proven to be successful in relieving pain and discomfort in the hip joint. The ProAdjuster can provide comfortable treatment that can help restore function and reduce pain you may be experiencing in your hips.

KNEE Faulty Biomechanics Are Often The Cause Of Injury The knee is the largest joint in the body, vital for movement, and particularly vulnerable to injury due to the constant stresses of everyday life. Although not all knee injuries can be prevented, education on knee anatomy, how injuries can occur, and how to care for them, can help prevent long-term complications.

Some knee pain stems from acute injuries, like when an athlete sprains his or her ACL. These types of knee injuries can often be successfully treated with simple measures, such as bracing or strengthening exercises.

Sometimes, knee pain is a symptom of a larger underlying condition, like arthritis, tendinitis, or bursitis. While this type of knee pain can be more difficult to treat and manage, there are ways to find relief.

PROAdjuster

If you’re suffering from pain in your knees, whether from an acute injury or an underlying condition, Chiropractic care is a safe, natural alternative to invasive surgery or over the counter medications. Ask your doctor how the ProAdjuster can help you find relief from pain and restore function in your knees.

40% Of Ankle Sprains Are Misdiagnosed In the United States, more than 25,000 people deal with ankle sprains or pain every day. Studies show that around 40% of ankle sprains are either treated incorrectly or are misdiagnosed, which can lead to disability or chronic ankle pain.

Regular chiropractic treatment can help facilitate blood flow, which speeds healing and reduces the chance of re-injury by strengthening the ankle and the soft tissues surrounding it. This can also help increase stability, mobility, flexibility and balance.

As with the other joints of the body, ankle pain can be caused by injury or an underlying condition. Gout, arthritis, and tendinitis are examples of some chronic conditions that can result in ankle pain.

PROAdjuster

Chiropractic care is a very effective therapy for treating ankle pain and injuries. The ProAdjuster can analyze your ankle to provide optimal treatment and help you find relief. Ask your doctor about the ProAdjuster today.

SCIATICA 40% Of People Will Get Sciatica During Their Lifetime When you suffer from sciatica, even the simplest daily activities like walking, driving, or sitting at work can become very difficult.

Sciatica refers to a pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, originating in the lower back and running past the hips, buttocks, and down each leg.

Sciatica can be sudden or gradual in onset, and is caused by the irritation, pinching or compression of the sciatic nerve. This can be the result of an injury like a herniated disc, or an underlying condition, like joint arthritis or spinal degeneration. Sciatica caused by herniated discs is typically associated with sharp, sudden pains, while arthritis-related sciatica pain tends to be more gradual in onset, and develops slowly over time.

PROAdjuster

Chiropractic has been shown to be an effective and prefered treatment for sciatica. By adjusting the spine, the Doctor of Chiropractic is able to take the pressure off the sciatic nerve and help restore normal activities of daily life. Ask your doctor if the gentle treatment of the ProAdjuster is right for your sciatic pain.
