Head/Neck

Evidence has demonstrated that chiropractic care, including spinal manipulative therapy, can be an effective treatment for cervicogenic and tension-type headaches and neck injuries. Depending on the findings of the history and patient examination, the chiropractor may recommend patient reassurance, manual therapies, modalities and lifestyle recommendations including rehabilitation. The treatment options may include: manipulation and mobilization, soft tissue therapy, acupuncture, rehabilitation and exercises, ergonomic and lifestyle changes.

Headaches

Headaches affect most of us at one point or another in our lives. But did you know that there is no normal headache? There are many different kinds of headaches; those that can be effectively treated through chiropractic care are: tension headaches, migraines, cervicogenic headaches and some post-trauma headaches. They are all a sign of something being not quite right with our bodies.

Whiplash

The tricky part about diagnosing whiplash is its effects aren’t always felt immediately following an accident. It’s not like a sports injury where you more than likely know the direct cause of your pain and feel it immediately. Whiplash can take days, weeks or even months for major symptoms to show up – that’s why it’s important to see your chiropractor as soon as you can after a car accident. If left untreated, whiplash can evolve into long-term pain.

Your chiropractor may be able to relieve pain in your jaw, specifically your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which can be a common sore spot for many people.

Concussion

In most cases, concussion symptoms subside in a week or two following the traumatic event. If the effects of your head injury persist long after the event, you may be suffering from what is known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS). As is with everything concussion related, how PCS affects people greatly differs from case-to-case.
