Symptoms and Conditions Treated
Common Problems Addressed by Chiropractic Care at our Clinic near Joliet
Chiropractic care can provide relief for a wide range of symptoms and conditions. Here are some common conditions that can benefit from chiropractic care.
Neck/Low Back Pain
Misalignments in the spine can place pressure on spinal nerves, which may contribute to neck and low back pain. Chiropractic adjustments can help address the root cause of the pain rather than only easing it temporarily. Experiences vary.
Headaches
Many headaches originate from tension in the neck and shoulder muscles. A cervicogenic headache can cause pain that radiates into the temples, eyeballs, and forehead. Chiropractic care can provide relief for this type of headache, as well as other types of headaches.
Sciatica
Irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause pain, numbness, weakness, or other symptoms in the lower back and the leg. A misaligned vertebra, bulging discs, and muscle spasms are some possible causes of sciatica.
Pinched Nerve
A pinched nerve is a severely compressed nerve, often caused by a misaligned vertebra. It can cause severe pain and other symptoms, and a proper examination is needed to determine the exact cause.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Repetitive movements without proper ergonomics can contribute to strain in the hands and wrists, which may lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Chiropractic care can help address the joints and muscles along the path of the nerve. Experiences vary.
Sports and Workplace Injuries
Sprains, strains, and impact injuries from sports or work accidents benefit from early evaluation. We also see auto accident patients, including cases with delayed-onset symptoms. Early treatment typically supports a faster recovery.
Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy causes burning, tingling, or numbness, often in the hands or feet. At Crest Hill Clinic near Joliet, we evaluate the underlying source of nerve symptoms and develop a care plan based on what we find.
Joint Pain
Hip, knee, shoulder, and ankle joint pain can have a musculoskeletal component that responds to chiropractic evaluation and physical therapy. Our on-site PT works alongside our chiropractors for joint-related cases.
