Neuropathy refers to nerve damage, often resulting in symptoms like tingling, numbness, or sharp pain. This condition is commonly seen in patients with diabetes or those who have experienced physical trauma. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive solution to relieve nerve pain by improving spinal alignment and reducing inflammation that may be irritating the nerves.
Disc bulges or herniations occur when the soft, gel-like material inside a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, often compressing nerves and causing pain. Chiropractic care for disc problems focuses on realigning the spine, reducing pressure on the discs, and helping with proper posture to promote healing. Specific techniques, such as spinal decompression, can help alleviate pressure on the nerves and restore function.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition characterized by sharp, stabbing pain in the face, often triggered by light touch or facial movements.

Chiropractic care can help reduce nerve irritation through spinal adjustments, cranial therapy, and soft tissue techniques, often providing relief from the intense pain associated with this disorder.
Vertigo is a spinning sensation that can be caused by various factors, including issues with the inner ear or the vestibular system. Chiropractic adjustments, particularly to the neck and upper spine, can help alleviate vertigo symptoms. By improving spinal alignment and reducing nerve interference, chiropractic care can promote better communication between the brain and the rest of the body, helping to resolve balance issues.
Ménière's disease is a chronic condition that affects the inner ear, leading to vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and hearing loss. Chiropractic care aims to reduce the symptoms of Ménière's disease by improving circulation and the alignment of the cervical spine. Spinal adjustments can help improve fluid drainage and reduce pressure within the inner ear, providing symptom relief.
Colic refers to excessive crying in infants, typically due to digestive discomfort. Chiropractic care can help alleviate colic symptoms by addressing misalignments in the infant’s spine that may be affecting their nervous system and digestive function. Gentle adjustments can help improve overall nervous system function, contributing to a more comfortable and peaceful baby.
Chronic constipation is a condition where bowel movements become infrequent or difficult to pass. Misalignments in the spine, particularly in the lower back and pelvis, can interfere with the proper function of the digestive system. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper nerve flow to the intestines, improving digestion and promoting more regular bowel movements.
Ear infections are common, especially in children, and can be caused by bacterial or viral infections that affect the middle ear. Chiropractic care can help by promoting fluid drainage and reducing ear congestion through adjustments to the spine and neck. Realigning the upper spine can also improve immune system function, helping the body fight off infections more effectively.
Round ligament pain occurs during pregnancy when the ligaments that support the uterus stretch and cause discomfort, usually in the lower abdomen or groin. Chiropractic care provides relief through gentle, targeted adjustments that help support the pelvis and improve spinal alignment. Techniques such as Webster’s technique can help reduce round ligament pain and improve the overall comfort of expectant mothers.
Pelvic pain can occur due to a variety of causes, such as pregnancy, menstrual cycles, or injury. Chiropractic care addresses pelvic pain by focusing on the alignment of the pelvic bones and lower spine. Realigning these structures can relieve tension in the muscles and ligaments, reducing pain and promoting better function of the pelvic region.
A breech baby is one that is positioned with its feet or buttocks down instead of the head. Chiropractic care, specifically the Webster technique, can help encourage optimal fetal positioning. This technique involves gentle adjustments to the pelvis and sacrum, which can create more space for the baby to turn into the head-down position, potentially avoiding the need for more invasive procedures.
Joint pain can result from a variety of causes, including arthritis, injury, or overuse. Chiropractic care can help by realigning joints, improving movement, and reducing inflammation. Manual manipulation and other chiropractic techniques can alleviate discomfort, enhance mobility, and promote the body’s natural healing processes, allowing you to move with less pain and greater ease.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder causes pain in the jaw, often resulting in headaches, neck pain, and difficulty chewing. Chiropractic adjustments to the neck, jaw, and spine can help relieve TMJ symptoms by improving alignment, reducing muscle tension, and improving overall jaw function. Our chiropractic approach focuses on holistic treatments that address the root cause of the discomfort.
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates down the leg, often due to pressure on the sciatic nerve from a herniated disc or spinal misalignment. Chiropractic care helps by correcting spinal misalignments, reducing nerve irritation, and relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve. Specific adjustments and stretches are designed to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and prevent future flare-ups.
Whiplash is a neck injury commonly caused by car accidents, resulting in pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment of the spine and neck, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing of the muscles and tissues. Adjustments and therapeutic exercises can help restore mobility and reduce the long-term effects of whiplash injuries.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed in the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. Chiropractic care addresses the root causes of carpal tunnel syndrome by adjusting the wrist, arm, and spine, alleviating nerve compression, and improving overall nerve function. Our holistic approach can reduce symptoms and improve the function of the affected hand.

Degenerative disc disease occurs when the spinal discs begin to break down due to age, wear, or injury, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Chiropractic treatments focus on improving spinal alignment and relieving pressure on the discs, helping to slow the progression of the disease and reduce associated pain. Through spinal adjustments, we aim to optimize movement and improve quality of life.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition that leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced function. Chiropractic care for osteoarthritis focuses on improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and promoting better posture. Adjustments and therapeutic exercises can help alleviate the discomfort associated with osteoarthritis, allowing patients to maintain a higher level of activity and function.
Anxiety is a common condition that can manifest physically, with symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, and digestive issues.
