How Chiropractors Help Individuals and Families

If you have no previous experience with chiropractors, you may not understand exactly what they do or how they can help patients with so many different health challenges. Chiropractic medicine seeks to restore balance to the musculoskeletal system by correcting alignment problems within joints. Even a small misalignment, or subluxation, can inhibit joint motion, cause pain and stiffness, and affect the rest of the body's alignment and balance. These problems can then cause everything from muscular strain to pinched nerves. Impaired nerve function is an especially serious problem because disrupted nerve signals can interfere with every system and function in the body.

Chiropractors can correct or prevent this cascade of health woes by gently correcting the positions of joint components. These adjustments are quite safe, even for small children. (In some cases, a popping noise may be heard during the adjustment, but this is only gas escaping from the corrected joint.) Better yet, the corrections allow for more normal muscular and nervous system function, easing pain, systemic health issues, and neurological symptoms.

From Car Crash Injuries to Chronic Pain: Conditions We Treat

Kosak Chiropractic and Acupuncture is happy to serve as your primary care provider for a number of different physical complaints and conditions from car crash injuries to chronic pain. We can help you with:

• Back Pain - Back pain can stem from an acute injury that dislodges spinal components, or it may be due to strained muscles and connective tissues. Pregnancy, weight gain, and age-related degeneration are other factors.

• Sciatica - Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve or its major roots become pinched. Bulging discs, herniated discs, spinal stenosis and other conditions can lead to this syndrome. Weakness, numbness, tingling and pain in the leg or foot are the hallmark symptoms.
• Shoulder Pain - Shoulder pain can take the form of a dislocated shoulder, arthritis, rotator cuff injury, chronic tendinitis or bursitis, or a stiffening of the shoulder tissues called adhesive capsulitis. Athletes and workers who overuse their shoulders may be prone to chronic shoulder pain.
• Disc Herniation - A disc herniation is a problem in which the outer casing of a vertebral disc bulges outward and ruptures. This allows the gelatinous inner material to escape. A herniation can put pressure on nearby spinal nerve tissue, causing neurological dysfunction.
• Neck Pain - Neck pain may be due to a cervical spinal misalignment or disc problem, an acute injury, poor posture or repetitive motion injuries. Neck problems often cause additional symptoms such as headaches.
• Pinched Nerve - When a nerve is pinched by a bone spur, bulging disc or swollen soft tissues, it cannot transmit messages normally. This causes a variety of uncomfortable symptoms and motor control problems which may be referred to any point along the nerve pathway.
• Headaches - Tension headaches often begin as neck strain or muscle spasms. Migraine headaches combine nausea, sensory sensitivities and other disabling symptoms with brutal pain.
• Chronic Pain - Chronic pain develops over time and refuses to resolve itself. It may be associated with an untreated musculoskeletal imbalance, overuse of the affected body part, old injuries that haven't healed correctly, and progressive degenerative conditions.
• Carpal Tunnel - Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist becomes pinched. Swollen tissues, tendinitis, and repetitive motion can create this painful problem.
• Auto Accident Injuries - Auto accident injuries include whiplash, lumbar subluxation, upper back or rib strain, and shoulder damage. Symptoms may be delayed due to shock.
• Work Injuries - Work injuries may be acute or chronic in nature. They include slip and fall injuries, heavy lifting injuries, and common repetitive motion disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Ice and Snow Injuries - A slip onto ice and snow can cause spinal misalignment, a tailbone injury or pinched nerves. They can occur on a ski slope, a skating rink, or even your front porch.
• Upper Back Pain - Upper back pain can be caused by a thoracic spinal misalignment or disc problem. It can also stem from muscle strain or rib subluxation.
• Low Back Pain - Low back pain is associated with pregnancy, obesity, weak back muscles, spinal misalignment, and acute injuries.
