Who We Help at ElleWell
Common Conditions We Can Help
Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to health that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine.
By addressing these issues, chiropractic adjustments can improve overall body function, alleviate pain, and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities. Here are just some of the conditions we help at our practice:
- Back Pain: Specific chiropractic adjustments can enhance spinal function, allowing discs and soft tissues to heal, reducing nerve involvement, easing pain, and restoring stability. Chiropractic care is a highly effective option for managing back pain.
- Neck Pain: Neck pain is a common complaint, often resulting from prolonged periods spent at workstations or on digital devices. Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate neck pain by addressing misalignments and improving spinal health.
- Sciatica: Sciatica is characterized by pain starting in the lower back and extending down one or both legs, often worsening with prolonged sitting or standing. It frequently affects pregnant women, individuals with diabetes, and those who are obese. Chiropractic care can help relieve sciatic pain through targeted adjustments.
- Headaches: Headaches, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating pain, are one of the most common pain conditions worldwide. Chiropractic adjustments can be an effective treatment for tension headaches and those originating from neck issues.
- Stress and Anxiety: Regular chiropractic care can help manage stress and anxiety by improving spinal mobility and overall health. This non-invasive therapy can aid in stress reduction and enhance relaxation. Additional stress-relief strategies include exercise, journaling, good sleep, and meditation.
- Hormone Imbalances: Chiropractic care can positively influence hormone imbalances by improving nervous system function. The spine houses nerves that are essential for hormonal communication within the body. By ensuring these nerves are free from interference, chiropractic adjustments may help regulate hormonal activity, potentially alleviating symptoms associated with hormone imbalances.
- TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction): The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the lower jaw to the skull. Chiropractic care can effectively address TMJ issues by correcting misalignments in the joints and muscles of the head, neck, and face, relieving pain, and restoring normal function.
- Sports Injuries: Athletes, whether runners, CrossFitters, golfers, or cyclists, can benefit from sports chiropractic care. It helps improve function, reduce injury risk, and promote faster recovery from sports-related injuries.
- Auto Accident Injuries: After experiencing a low-speed fender bender or a high-speed collision, chiropractic care can address trauma-related issues promptly. Early intervention can help alleviate pain and facilitate recovery.
- Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is marked by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and joint, muscle, and tendon tenderness. Chiropractic care offers an alternative to pain medication, with some studies indicating improvements in pain, fatigue, and function for fibromyalgia sufferers.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain, involves inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. Chiropractic adjustments to the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine can improve function and promote healing.
- Disc Problems: Healthy discs provide the flexibility needed to turn and bend with ease. Injuries such as improper lifting, slips, falls, and car accidents can cause disc protrusions, herniations, and prolapse. Chiropractic care is an effective and natural solution for various disc problems.
