Not just a means of relieving back pain; chiropractic care can treat a number of symptoms including, pain, swelling, muscle spasms, and limited range of motion. These symptoms can come from many conditions such as strains, sprains, joint dysfunction, joint degeneration, degenerative disc disease, nerve entrapment, headaches and more. Chiropractic can treat the entire body from the head, neck, and shoulders to the back, pelvis, elbows, wrists and hands, all the way down to the hips knees, ankles and feet.What makes chiropractic different from many other healthcare disciplines is a shift in focus from treating superficial symptoms to an emphasis on the underlying cause of pain and dysfunction.
Chiropractic care addresses the on-going wellness of patients, offering a focus on preventive care. While many patients seek chiropractic care to treat particular concerns, you don’t need to have a specific complaint or condition to benefit from chiropractic treatment. Not only that, but chiropractic care is effective for people of all ages, from infants to the elderly.
