NECK PAIN
Neck pain can arise from various factors, including poor posture, physical strain, mental stress, and degenerative conditions. Spending long hours hunched over a computer or smartphone can strain neck muscles, while stress can cause muscle tightness and stiffness. Age-related wear and tear, such as osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis, can also contribute to neck pain
Chiropractic care can help alleviate neck pain through spinal adjustments, which improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation. These adjustments can relieve pain, enhance neck function, and increase the range of motion, providing a non-invasive alternative to medication. Regular chiropractic care can also help prevent future episodes of neck pain by addressing underlying issues and promoting overall spinal health
Neck pain can significantly contribute to tension headaches due to muscle strain, stress, and poor posture. When neck muscles become tight or strained, they can cause pain that radiates to the head, leading to tension headaches.
Factors such as prolonged use of computers or smartphones, stress, and physical strain can exacerbate this condition. Active Health Chiropractic addresses tension headaches by focusing on spinal adjustments to correct misalignments, reducing muscle tension, and improving overall nervous system function. Their personalized treatment plans may include manual adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle advice to alleviate pain and prevent future headaches. This holistic approach not only provides immediate relief but also promotes long-term wellness and improved quality of life.
Migraine
Migraines cause intense, throbbing pain, typically on one side of the head, which can be debilitating and interfere with daily activities. This pain is often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can vary in severity, ranging from moderate discomfort to severe, disabling pain that can last from a few hours to several days. Some individuals may also experience visual disturbances, known as auras, which can include flashing lights or blind spots.
The severity and frequency of migraines can differ greatly among individuals, with some experiencing occasional attacks and others suffering from chronic migraines that occur multiple times a month.
​
Neck pain can significantly contribute to migraines due to the close connection between the neck and head. Tight or strained neck muscles can trigger migraines by irritating nerves and affecting blood flow to the brain.
​
Poor posture, stress, and physical strain are common causes of neck pain that can lead to migraines. Active Health Chiropractic treats migraines by focusing on spinal adjustments to correct misalignments, reducing muscle tension, and improving overall nervous system function. Their comprehensive approach includes chiropractic care and lifestyle modifications to alleviate pain and prevent future migraines.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the neck, often resulting from car accidents, sports injuries, or falls. Symptoms typically include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and reduced range of motion, which can appear immediately or within a few days after the injury. Chiropractic care at Active Health Chiropractic can be highly beneficial for treating whiplash. Their approach includes spinal adjustments to realign the vertebrae, soft tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension, and rehabilitation exercises to strengthen the neck muscles.
Treatment length varies depending on the severity of the injury, but many patients experience significant improvement within 6 to 12 weeks. Early and consistent chiropractic care can help alleviate pain, restore mobility, and prevent chronic issues, promoting long-term recovery and overall wellness.
​
Back pain
Back pain is a common issue that can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating pain. Symptoms often include muscle stiffness, limited range of motion, and pain that radiates down the legs. Chiropractic care can help relieve back pain through spinal adjustments, which improve alignment and reduce pressure on nerves and can work to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and promote overall spinal health.
Upper back pain
Upper back pain typically involves the thoracic spine, which runs from the base of the neck to the bottom of the rib cage. This region consists of 12 vertebrae (T1-T12), each connected to a pair of ribs, forming a sturdy structure that protects vital organs like the heart and lungs. Symptoms of upper back pain can include a burning or sharp pain, muscle tightness or stiffness, and radiating pain along a nerve. Contributing factors to upper back pain include poor posture, muscle overuse, injuries, herniated discs, and conditions like arthritis
Active Health Chiropractic can help relieve upper back pain through a variety of treatments. Our approach often includes spinal adjustments to realign the spine and reduce tension, therapeutic exercises to strengthen the back muscles, and lifestyle counseling to improve posture and prevent future pain. Recovery time can vary depending on the severity of the condition and individual response to care. Typically, patients may start with frequent visits to manage acute symptoms, followed by a corrective phase to address underlying issues, and eventually move to a maintenance phase to sustain improvements and prevent recurrence
Mid back pain
Mid back pain, or thoracic spine pain, is characterized by symptoms such as muscle tightness, dull or sharp pain, burning sensations, and stiffness. This discomfort can extend to the shoulders or neck, potentially causing headaches. Mid back pain can significantly impact a person's quality of life, leading to disrupted sleep, difficulty performing daily tasks, and decreased mobility, which may result in frustration and emotional distress.
​
Active Health Chiropractic offers effective treatment options for mid back pain through chiropractic care. Treatments may include spinal adjustments to realign the vertebrae, reducing nerve pressure and alleviating pain. Additionally, therapeutic exercises and lifestyle advice may be provided to support long-term recovery and prevent recurrence.
​
During a chiropractic session, patients can expect a thorough evaluation, followed by gentle spinal adjustments. The process is usually painless, though some patients might experience mild soreness afterward. Recovery time varies depending on the individual's condition and adherence to prescribed exercises, but many patients notice significant improvement within a few weeks of consistent care.
Lower back pain
Lower back pain is a common condition that can range from a dull, persistent ache to a sharp, shooting sensation. Symptoms often include stiffness, muscle spasms, and difficulty moving or standing up straight. This discomfort can radiate down the legs, causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. Chronic lower back pain can significantly impact one's quality of life, leading to emotional distress, depression, and social isolation.
​
At Active Health Chiropractic, chiropractic treatments are used to address lower back pain through spinal manipulation and mobilization. These treatments aim to improve alignment, reduce nerve irritability, and restore range of motion. During a session, patients may hear a popping sound as gases are released from the joints, but the process is generally painless.
​
Patients might experience mild soreness or fatigue after treatment, but these symptoms typically subside within a day. Recovery time varies, but many patients notice improvement within a few weeks of consistent treatment.
Sciatica pain
Sciatica pain is a debilitating condition characterized by sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down through the buttocks and legs, often extending to the feet. Symptoms include lower back pain, burning or tingling sensations, numbness, muscle weakness, and difficulty moving. Chronic sciatica can severely impact one's quality of life, making it challenging to perform daily activities, work, and engage in social events. Untreated sciatica can lead to long-term consequences such as chronic pain, reduced mobility, and even nerve damage.
​
At Active Health Chiropractic, chiropractic treatments offer a holistic approach to managing sciatica. Treatments may include spinal adjustments to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, ultrasound therapy to increase blood circulation and reduce muscle spasms, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to manage acute pain. Patients can expect a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs, with a focus on addressing the root cause of the pain rather than just alleviating symptoms.
​
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's response to treatment. Mild cases may see improvement within a few weeks, while more severe cases might take several months of consistent treatment and lifestyle modifications to achieve significant relief. With proper care and adherence to the treatment plan, many patients experience a substantial reduction in pain and an improvement in their overall quality of life.
Disc injury
A disc injury, such as a herniated or bulging disc, can cause significant discomfort and impact one's quality of life. Symptoms often include sharp pain in the back, neck, or legs, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness. These symptoms can hinder daily activities, making it difficult to perform routine tasks, work, and engage in physical activities. Over time, untreated disc injuries can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and even nerve damage, further affecting one's overall well-being.
​
At Active Health Chiropractic, chiropractic treatments offer a non-invasive approach to managing disc injuries. Treatments may include spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate pain and improve mobility. The goal is to support the body's natural healing processes and restore function without the need for surgery or medication.
​
During treatment, patients can expect a thorough evaluation, personalized treatment plans, and regular follow-ups to monitor progress. Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury and the patient's adherence to the treatment plan, but many individuals experience significant improvement within four to six weeks.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, which often appears as an "S" or "C" shape. Symptoms may include uneven shoulders, a noticeable curve in the back, uneven waist, and one hip higher than the other. Severe scoliosis can cause chronic pain, respiratory issues, and limited mobility, significantly impacting a person's quality of life. It can lead to self-esteem issues and physical discomfort, making everyday activities challenging.
​
At Active Health Chiropractic, treatments for scoliosis focus on non-invasive methods to reduce pain and improve spinal alignment. Chiropractic care may include spinal adjustments to promote better alignment, therapeutic exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, and lifestyle advice to prevent further progression of the curvature.
​
During treatment, patients can expect a personalized evaluation and a tailored treatment plan designed to address their specific needs. Recovery time and improvement vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's response to treatment. While chiropractic care may not completely straighten the spine, it can help reduce pain, improve function, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with scoliosis.
Extremity pain
Limb pain, affecting the arms or legs, can stem from various causes such as injuries, nerve damage, poor circulation, or conditions like arthritis and tendinitis. Symptoms often include sharp or dull aching, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness, which can significantly impact one's ability to perform daily activities, work, and engage in recreational pursuits. Chronic limb pain can lead to decreased mobility, frustration, and emotional distress, further affecting one's overall quality of life.
​
