CHIROPRACTIC CARE

The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. It is made up of the body’s bones (the skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system’s primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs. The skeletal portion of the system serves as the main storage system for calcium and phosphorus and contains critical components of the hematopoietic system.

Musculoskeletal conditions range from neck, mid and low back pain to certain type of headaches and arm and leg pain. Most sports injuries are musculoskeletal in nature as well and most degenerative conditions (arthritis) that prevents the use of an limb over time. If it has to do with moving, lifting, sitting or carrying, it is usually a musculoskeletal condition responsible for the inability to perform that action, or have pain with completing the task related to movement.

Chiropractic treatment is not limited to just the spine.  If there is a joint that is misaligned then it can be evaluated and treated.  Keeping the body aligned includes every aspect of the body. Looking at the bones and the soft tissues/muscle can help narrow down the area of injury. When the pain is left untreated for an extended period of time, the damage and symptoms can worsen. Contacting your Chiropractor early on is important in a faster healing process. 

Pain in the lower back is a common complaint amount pregnant patients.  As the baby is growing and the body is changing the center of gravity shifts to the front of the pelvis.  As the baby grows and the belly expands the pressure on the lower back and hip joints increases.  The surrounding ligaments and muscles are also pulled and stretched that can lead to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care is gentle and safe in providing a comfortable experience while pregnant.

While baby is growing in the mother's womb they are in a series of different positions.  As the child ages their body goes throw many different changes.  Kids experience falls, sleep in awkward positions/places and rough house with others.  Making sure the child is aligned properly while growing is extremely important.  The child doesn't have experience in what is normal and what is discomfort.  The way they show their discomfort may be acting out or a change in emotion/attitude.

Why is Maintenance Care so Important?  Just because you do not feel pain doesn't mean that things are changing in your body.  Our daily activities consist of stress and strain to the body. Repetitive motions, poor posture, sleeping positions, exercising, and emotional stressors can all impact the body in a variety of ways.  Making sure the body is aligned and the nervous system is flowing fully helps ensure the body is working 100%.
