Your chiropractor also may recommend a change to your diet to help you improve your overall health. If you are experiencing pain in your muscles and joints, your first reaction should not be to get the aspirin out of your medicine cabinet. Your pain could be due to problems with musculoskeletal alignment. A chiropractor is trained to make sure your body is functioning as optimally as possible by using spinal manipulations to relieve pain in your joints and muscles.
These spinal adjustments will increase blood flow and nerve conductivity to the joints and muscles that are experiencing pain. If your job requires you to sit for long periods of time, especially hunched over a keyboard, it is not uncommon to wind up with very poor posture. Poor posture puts unwanted pressure on the upper back, neck, and shoulders. The pressure can cause the discs and bones to shift enough to cause problems such as a slipped or herniated disc.
A chiropractor can make sure your spine is aligned correctly, so you do not run into any future problems. One of the most obvious signs that a chiropractic visit is needed is if you are experiencing chronic back pain. A chiropractic doctor can provide you with pain relief without the need for invasive surgery or narcotics. If you begin to notice that the soles of your shoes wear out differently, this is a sign that your body is out of alignment and needs to be adjusted.
Uneven wear on your shoes is a very reliable indicator that you are experiencing a subluxation in the spine and need a chiropractic spinal manipulation to realign your spine to ensure the problem does not continue and turn into a chronic issue. Having normal range of motion helps the body to function optimally. Being involved in an accident, such as a car or motorcycle collision, can cause serious injuries that only an experienced chiropractor can help heal.
Car crashes are notorious for causing hidden injuries, which are injuries that do not have any immediate visible signs, like bruising, swelling, or pain. The most common hidden car accident injury is whiplash, which is a severe sprain and strain of the neck that occurs when the head is jerked back and forth from the headrest to its maximum forward position.
Soon after, patients will begin to notice neck stiffness and headaches. In severe cases, whiplash can result in the upper back and arm pain. The good news is that chiropractic care is extremely effective at treating musculoskeletal injuries, including herniated discs, sprains and strains and neck, and back pain, all possible results of a car crash. Treatment options from our chiropractor, Dr. Hoewisch, who has been serving the Santa Clara area since , include manual and instrument adjustments, KST chiropractic a more in-depth chiropractic adjustment modality that involves testing and checking muscles for imbalances before performing adjustments, and the Gonstead technique.
We also offer auto accident injury, and sports rehabilitation, which helps improve range of motion, endurance, and muscle strength. Patients who stand to benefit the most from chiropractic care are those who are generally healthy and without advanced joint disease. Examples include those with sciatica or old sports injuries.
People who get tension headaches and migraines can also benefit from seeing a chiropractor, because alignment issues contribute to the occurrence of headaches. Moreover, patients with frozen shoulder syndrome can also benefit from chiropractic adjustments, which stretch muscles in the shoulder and reduce stiffness.
Many patients seek chiropractic care for symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, lack of energy, digestive problems, muscle aches, numbness, and tingling. All of these issues can be addressed with chiropractic care. Patients with herniated or slipped discs and those with arthritis may need advice from specialist physicians before seeing a chiropractor. If there is a physical abnormality or injury in your body, such as a fracture, chiropractic care may not be for you. People with osteoporosis and those with fragile health should also check before beginning chiropractic care.
