Common Conditions treated with Spinal Adjustment
Common Conditions treated with Spinal Adjustment
This post will focus on the many common conditions that can be treated with chiropractic care. While many people think of chiropractors as primarily treating back and neck pain, the truth is that chiropractic care can be effective for a wide range of conditions.
Here are just a few of the common conditions that we treat at Essendon Health and Sports Centre:
- Back and neck pain: Spinal adjustments can help to relieve pain and tension in the back and neck, improving your overall comfort and mobility.
- Headaches and migraines: By addressing misalignments in the spine, chiropractic care can help to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines.
- Sciatica: Chiropractic care can be effective in treating sciatica, a condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the lower back and legs.
- Sports injuries: Chiropractic care can help to speed up the healing process for sports injuries and reduce the risk of re-injury.
- Hip, knee and foot pain; By addressing misalignments and restrictions in joint range chiropractic care is very effective for pain in hips, knees, ankles and feet.
Why do l need a spinal adjustment. I haven't lifted anything heavy?
Of all the misconceptions about the spinal column, one of the most common is the belief that you only hurt your back by lifting something heavy or doing something traumatic. This couldn't be further from the truth. Most back movement problems and joint subluxations are secondary to the multiple ways we minutely load and stress our spines. Think how much our spines get loaded by hour upon hour seated at our work station or study desk with litttle exercise apart from the odd toilet break.
These simple day to day activities are cumulative loads on our spine as well as being very joint restrictive due to the narrow range of movement. It's more of a wonder we don't have pain all the time in reality.
At Essendon Health and Sports Centre we believe in taking a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on the root cause of your symptoms rather than just masking them with medication. If you are struggling with any of the above conditions, we encourage you to schedule an appointment today to learn how chiropractic care can help.
