Conditions that a Chiropractor can treat

Chiropractors from Tacoma treat any condition that can alter the structure or functioning of your body. Their goal is to alleviate pain and improve function. They don't perform surgeries or prescribe medications. Instead, they will adjust your spine or other body parts to achieve an ideal alignment. Chiropractic care is based on the belief that a healthy body leads to better healing. Here are some common conditions that could affect your spine.

1. Lower back discomfort

Low back pain is the most frequent reason why people seek chiropractic care. Back pain is usually the subject of research into spinal manipulation. According to the National Health Center, some people suffering from back pain could be benefited by visiting a chiropractor. Research suggests that people suffering from lower back pain may find more relief from visiting a chiropractor rather than seeing their family physician.

 

2. Neck Pain

Chiropractors frequently use neck manipulations to treat neck pain. They are also referred to as adjustments. These neck adjustments, in conjunction with exercises, could be more effective than pain medication for certain neck pains. A chiropractor could be a viable option if have experienced neck pain for a while. Chiropractic care could be able to treat this type of neck pain.

 

3. Tension Headaches

A chiropractic adjustment may be beneficial if you suffer from tension headaches. They are a common form of headache that can cause back and neck pain. Tension headaches can be due to stress or poor posture. A chiropractor could modify your neck or suggest stretching exercises. A chiropractor may also recommend healthy ways to reduce anxiety or alleviate headaches. It could involve proper posture and body mechanics.

 

4. Headaches due to migraine

Chiropractic spinal manipulations can reduce the frequency of migraines and also relieve pain. It is not clear what causes this. Based on the research, chiropractic care could reduce stress levels, which can reduce migraines. Some foods can trigger migraine headaches. Get advice from your chiropractor about diet and changes in your diet to alleviate migraines.

 

5. Whiplash

A whiplash is a form of whiplash. It refers to neck injuries, which are usually caused by automobile accidents. Whiplash can cause stiffness and neck pain. If you tilt your head to the side, you may be experiencing more pain. You may feel dizzy, sick, or nauseated to the stomach. You may want to seek assistance from a chiropractor. A chiropractor might also suggest stretching and exercising at the home, in addition to showing you how heat and ice are used to help reduce the swelling and spasms in muscles.

6. Sacroiliac Pain

The major joint that is located on the bottom of your spine is called the sacroiliac joint (SI). SI joint issues can trigger lower back pain in different ways. The pain may be felt in the buttock or the back of the thigh. This kind of pain is treated by chiropractors using a chiropractic adjustment. The chiropractor can also help to avoid straining your SI joint. They can also recommend exercises that strengthen the muscles in your core. These are the muscles that help support this joint.

 

7. Shoulder discomfort

Chiropractic care is often related to back and neck discomfort. If your shoulder pain or stiffness is extreme, a chiropractor may assist. It's called frozen shoulder syndrome. A frozen shoulder may cause less pain and more movement when you receive chiropractic treatment. Your chiropractor can assist you to build your shoulder muscles and show you how to do it at home.

 

8. Knee Pain

Most often, osteoarthritis of the knees is the result of wear and tear to the joint. It's quite frequent. It is treatable with chiropractic care. Some chiropractors also provide knee adjustments. This treatment is far more efficient than knee exercises. After a couple of weeks, certain people who have undergone chiropractic adjustments report less pain and increased movement.
