Chiropractic makes sense for headaches because many headaches aren't "in your head" - they're mechanical, neck related, posture-driven, stress-amplified.  By addressing these underlying issues, chiropractic care can help alleviate headache symptoms more effectively.

Low Back Pain

Chiropractors see this constantly, because the lower back is where posture, stress, bad chairs, and questionable life choices go to fight it out.   Regular adjustments and exercises can help alleviate discomfort and improve overall spinal health.

Mechanical lower back pain is the most common cause of low back pain and is caused by joints, muscles, ligament or discs - not disease, not fractures, just your body being mad.  The symptoms often include discomfort, stiffness, and occasional sharp pain during movement.

Neck Pain

Neck pain is a condition that unites desk workers, parents, athletes and anyone who's ever looked down at a phone.  It's important to practice good posture and take regular breaks to alleviate discomfort.

Most neck pain is mechanical, movement related and posture-influenced.   Incorporating stretching exercises into your routine can also help improve flexibility and reduce strain.

Vertigo

A false sense of movement.  It can be caused by a variety of things such as changes in blood pressure, medication side effects, vestibular  disorders, or inner ear infections, in addition to upper back and neck restrictions.  Depending on the cause of your vertigo, depends if chiropractic can help.   It is worth an assessment and discussion with the chiropractor about your specific condition. 

Workers Compensation Injuries

Work Related injuries are  a significant concern for employers and employees, requiring careful management.  Frequently involving the lower back, we also commonly see injuries related to neck, shoulders and upper arms as well. 

If you weren't working, would the injury have happened??  This is a key question in determining whether an injury is work-related or not. 

Plantar Fasciitis

Inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot, by definition.   The key to successful treatment is figuring out the cause of the inflammation and treating the cause. 

Frequently the cause of the inflammation is in the calf, knee and/or hip which is why proper assessment is so important.  Treatment may include stretching exercises, manual therapy, or orthotics depending on the specific needs of the patient.

Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder pain is a common condition that can interfere with work, sleep, exercise, and everyday activities. Because the shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, it is also more susceptible to strain, overuse, and movement dysfunction.

Treatment is focused on identifying the underlying cause of the symptoms, restoring proper movement and increasing strength and stability of the shouder to prevent future injuries. 

Tennis Elbow / Golfers Elbow

Tennis elbow and golfers elbow are clinically known as lateral and medial epicondylitis, are common overuse condition affecting the outer or inner part of the elbow, often causing pain and tenderness.

It frequently affects office workers, tradespeople and anyone who perform repetitive gripping or wrist movements.  Care is focused on addressing the mechanical and movement related causes. 

ITB Syndrome / Runner's Knee

Iliotibial (IT) Band Syndrome is a common overuse condition that affects the outer thigh and knee.   It often occurs in runners and cyclists due to repetitive flexion and extension of the knee, but can also occur in people with prolonged sitting or repetitive lower back movements. 

Chiropractic care for ITB Syndrome focuses on the entire lower kinetic chain rather than just the IT band alone.  Assessments often include gait analysis, manual therapy techniques, and personalized exercise programs to address underlying causes and promote recovery.

Carpal Tunnel Sydrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition affecting the hand and wrist, often causing pain, numbness and tingling.  It is frequently associated with repetitive hand use, prolonged computer use and sustained gripping activities. 

Chiropractic care for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome takes a whole upper limb approach, including the wrist, elbow, shoulder, and cervical spine.  Treatment may included  adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and ergonomic advice to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence. 

Concussion

A concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that can occur after a blow to the head, a fall, or a sudden acceleration - deceleration force such as those experienced in motor vehicle accidents or sports injuries. 

Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties and may persist well beyond the initial injury and can have a significant affect on daily life. 

Chiropractic care does not treat the brain injury itself, but instead focuses on managing the physical factors that may prolong or worsen symptoms. 

Sports Therapy

Sports Therapy focuses on the assessment, treatment and prevention of injuries related to physical activities.  It is tailored to meet the specific needs of athletes and individuals who engage in regular physical exercise. 

It addresses how the body moves, loads and recovers during activity rather than just focusing on symptoms alone. 

Whiplash is a common neck injury that occurs when the head and neck are rapidly forced forward and backward.  Symptoms may appear immediately or develop days to weeks after the incident. 

Its a soft tissue and joint injury involving the neck and upper back that often leads to pain, stiffness, headaches and reduced mobility. 

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring movement, reducing strain, and supporting the body's healing process.  Regular sessions can significantly enhance overall wellbeing.
