Even a “minor” crash can result in serious injuries such as ligament sprains and loss of cervical curvature. This can lead to chronic pain and disability if not treated properly. In fact, research shows that as little as 8.2 M.P.H. of a car accident can adversely affect your spine. Early treatment is the best way to prevent long-term symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments are effective because they help restore the healthy, normal function of your spine and nervous system without the use of drugs or surgery.

CTS is a problem of the median nerve which runs from the forearm into the hand. When there is excessive pressure in the wrist, it causes swelling of the median nerve. This small area called the carpal tunnel is a narrow tunnel at the wrist made up of bones, soft tissues, nerves, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. When the median nerve which runs through this tunnel gets compressed it causes pain, weakness, numbness or tingling in the wrist and hand (usually the thumb and forefinger).

CTS should be diagnosed and treated early. During your consultation, you will receive a standard physical examination of the hands, arms, shoulders and neck to help determine if your symptoms are related to daily activities or to an underlying disorder. Unfortunately, this condition is often mis-diagnosed. Your Chiropractor will determine whether your condition is stemming from the neck or your wrist. Both respond exceptionally well to Chiropractic care.

Sciatica is characterized by pain in the lower back that radiates down one or both legs. The pain is described as dull, achy, sharp, “pins and needles” or similar to electric shocks. Other symptoms associated with sciatica include burning, numbness and tingling sensations. Sciatic nerve pain varies in intensity from mild to severe. Sciatica pain frequency may range from occasional to constant. The onset may be gradual and not necessarily associated with a previous event. Sciatica is also known as radiating or referred pain, neuropathy, or neuralgia. Neuropathy from the lower spine may also cause disfunction of the gastro-intestinal, urinary and/or sexual organs.

Vertigo is the feeling that you are moving when you’re not. This sensation can be triggered by movements such as turning your head too quickly or looking down, but it is ultimately caused by problems in the inner ear, brain or brainstem. There are two different forms of vertigo with each stemming from various medical issues: peripheral vertigo and central vertigo.

Peripheral vertigo results in a problem with your inner ear and thus your balance Central vertigo occurs when your brain or brainstem are suffering from a condition originating from your central nervous system (CNS). Peripheral vertigo is typically more severe. Central vertigo is more gradual in its onset. Regardless of the type of dizziness you are experiencing, more than likely, your quality of life is suffering because of it. Chiropractors have remarkable results in the treatment of vertigo.
