Back Pain
The most common cause of muscle strain is bending and lifting the
wrong way. Pulled muscles and muscle spasms cause spinal vertebrae
to become misaligned, causing irritation to the nerves. Chiropractic can
relax the muscles and realign the bones. This in turn relieves the pressure
on the nerves, restoring normal function.
Headaches
Today there is hope for those suffering from the agonizing pain of recurring headaches.
Headaches are the most common and costly American affliction. Headache sufferers spend
more than two billion dollars a year on over-the counter painkillers for relief that is only temporary.
While there are different kinds, two of the most common forms are the migraine and the muscle
tension headache.

Migraines produce severe throbbing pain, along with symptoms which can include nausea. A
disturbance of energy flow between the brain and spinal nerves to the various functions of the
body may produce a headache when triggered.

The muscle tension, "worry" or "stress", headache is the most common type of all. Chiropractic
can relieve the pressures that cause your muscles to tighten up.
Fatigue or Excess Tiredness
By continually running your body, or
overworking it, you cause your body and
immune system to run down. This also
leads to physical and mental stress.
Chiropractic adjustments can rejuvenate
the immune system and create better
overall health.
Stress
Mental stress is a more common cause of physical discomfort than most people
realize. People suffer from many kinds of mental stress caused by nervousness,
anger, or just life in general. Mental stress often leads to physical stress, causing
poor health.

We all experience moments of nervousness, fear, anger, or anxiety. At these
moments, if we could stop and think about it at the time, we could actually feel the
increasing tensions in our muscles. Chiropractic can relax the muscles and realign
the bones, relieving the physical stress, and relaxing nerve pressure.

In today's world, we will always have our share of daily stress and aggravation. Now, through chiropractic, we can relieve
some of the effects caused by stress. In this way, chiropractic can help us relax, giving us a better focus and peace of mind.
Irritability
One word best describes irritability. That word is STRESS! Relieving the stress through
chiropractic treatments, will in turn, relieve the sufferer's irritability.

Digestive Problems
A large percentage of people suffer from digestive problems. People often do not realize that
their digestive troubles are often the result of physical stress along the nervous system.
Chiropractic can relieve this stress, helping your digestive system to work properly.

Another cause of digestive trouble comes in the form of mental stress. Mental stress can lead
to physical stress (see
Stress). Chiropractic can relieve the physical stress, helping to
restore good health, getting the sufferer back on track.
Breathing Disorders
Many times, breathing disorders, such as asthma and allergies, can be caused by physical interferences along the nervous
system. Through chiropractic, realignment of spinal bones will often relieve these types of symptoms. We recommend
chiropractic as the simpler means of relieving the symptoms caused by these disorders.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hand and wrist pain can often be caused by this nerve irritation. People who use their hands
for doing repetitive tasks often suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Anyone suffering from
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or hand and wrist pain, should see a chiropractor to ensure that his
or her spinal column is free from nerve pressure between the arms and wrists and the nerves
in the neck. For more information, see the Carpal Tunnel brochure on the Patient Education page.
Treatment aimed at relieving nerve pressure in the spine (spinal adjustments) should be used before drug therapy is
considered. The effectiveness of spinal manipulation is testimony from the thousands of former migraine sufferers who no
longer have headaches. If you know of someone who suffers with recurring headaches, please suggest they call us for an
appointment.
Sleeping Problems
Mental stress and physical pain often
lead to sleeping problems.
Chiropractic can relieve the
pressures associated with sleeping
disorders. This will often return a
patient to a normal sleeping routine.
