Chiropractic FAQs in Houston TX

Chiropractic Care has been proved to be effective at helping both acute and chronic neck pain. Acute neck pain is defined as any neck pain that has lasted less than three months.

Chronic is pain that has lasted longer than three months.

For neck pain, chiropractic neck adjustments, called cervical manipulation, loosen up the joints of the cervical vertebrae in the neck, and this can reduce pain caused by pinched nerves and muscle spasms and also help to keep the joints working properly, reduce stiffness, reduce pain, tension and increase function.

The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the human body, it is also the most unstable one.

Among athletes, shoulder injuries are quite common; the shoulder sustains more injuries that almost all other parts of the body.

Shoulder pain can be caused by a number of conditions. Rotator cuff injury is the most common cause and is commonly seen in gymnasts, football players, swimmers, tennis players, and more.

Chiropractic is often the treatment of choice for shoulder pain because it is minimally invasive and it works. Having shoulder pain, the spine and neck may become inflamed.

Chiropractic care addresses all areas of the body to relieve pain without drugs and gets the patient on the road to healing quicker.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. This condition occurs when the Median Nerve is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist.

Carpal Tunnel usually affects domestic workers, secretaries, musicians, dentists, hygienists, and others who do repetitive tasks with their hands.

Misalignment in the spine also may contribute to symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Lower back pain can be caused by many things like, sports, work injuries, sleeping on a poor quality or worn out mattress, carrying or picking up heavy objects frequently, sitting or standing in one position for a long time, or frequently bending over to pick up items.

It can also be caused by falling accidents or exercise as well.

Lower back pain is usually caused when a vertebrae or spinal segment is out of its normal position, stressing a person's nervous system.

Chiropractors are skilled at treating Lower Back Pain and can localize your back issue to get you back to a healthy state.

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg.

Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disc, bone spurs on the spine, or narrowing of the spine compresses part of the nerve.

The purpose of chiropractic treatment is to help restore the body's potential to heal naturally.

Chiropractic care is based on the scientific principle that restricted spinal movement leads to pain, reduced function, and decreased performance.

Correct the cause of Sciatica by getting an evaluation and addressing the underlying cause.

Whiplash is a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck which most often occurs during a rear-end auto accident, but the injury can also result from a sports accident, physical abuse, or other trauma.

A proper evaluation is vital after an auto accident to determine how you can feel better without using medication, which could mask the pain and not treat the cause of pain.

The Central Nervous System is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord and is the only system that is directly protected by bones. These bones make up the spine.

When specific bones in the neck are out of position and unable to move properly, they can put stress on the nervous system and on the surrounding muscles, which can result in headaches.

Chiropractic care can be an effective and non-invasive approach to preventing and relieving headaches regardless of the type of headache (tension vs. migraine) or cause (stress vs. posture).

Chiropractic evaluation is necessary to determine the best course of action to reduce the frequency of these headaches and to eliminate them altogether.
