Let’s look at some of the most common aches and pains that require the care of a chiropractor. You should also know how to find one and what to look for.

Lower Back Pain

The National Library of Medicine reports that lower back pain is the most common musculoskeletal issue worldwide. Back pain sufferers can benefit from chiropractic care without the need for invasive surgery, narcotics, or other possibly addictive medications. Typical causes of lower back pain include poor posture, a sprained muscle, or slipped disks. You can benefit from visiting a chiropractor if you’re experiencing lower back pain.

Sharp Pains in Legs

Pain or odd sensations running down the back of your leg(s) could indicate a pinched nerve. Common symptoms are a tingling sensation that runs down the back of the legs or sharp, shooting leg pain while bending or twisting. A chiropractor can diagnose the issue and relieve its symptoms with spinal adjustments or massage.

Limited Range of Motion

If you find that you’re no longer as flexible as normal or have difficulty or pain when bending, lifting, or doing other normal physical activities, it’s time to visit the chiropractor. After an examination and diagnosis, a chiropractor can help you regain your range of motion by making the appropriate adjustments to your spine or joints. Chiropractic massage is also beneficial in increasing your range of motion.

Chronic Headaches

Headaches can be caused by several different factors. Dehydration, poor diet, or stress are all culprits. However, chronic headaches could also come from a spine or neck misalignment. These misalignments could reduce blood flow to the brain or cause stress to the body, which could cause endless headaches. A chiropractic adjustment could be the cure.

Whiplash

If you’ve been in a car accident, even a minor one, you may have whiplash. This common medical issue can happen anytime you experience a sudden force or quick movement and isn’t limited to those involved in car crashes. Sufferers can experience neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and difficulty turning or moving the head. Chiropractic treatment for whiplash includes spinal manipulation, stretching exercises, and electrical nerve stimulation.

Sciatica

When the sciatic nerve is compressed, inflamed, or pinched, it will cause severe lower back pain that can run down one leg all the way to the foot or toes. This common medical condition is sometimes caused by a herniated or slipped disk. Chiropractic treatments to alleviate sciatic pain include stretching exercises and spinal manipulation.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Office dwellers who spend long hours with their fingers on keyboards sometimes develop carpal tunnel syndrome. Sufferers experience pain and stiffness when trying to move their wrists and fingers. However, consider consulting with a chiropractor before going under the knife for evasive surgery. To help ease the pain, a chiropractor will perform spinal adjustments and gently manipulation of the wrist, elbows, and fingers.

Rotator Cuff Injury

Although a common sports-related injury, anyone can have rotator cuff problems. With proper chiropractic care, some who have rotator cuff pain and mobility issues can find relief without surgery. Chiropractic adjustments to the shoulder and electrostimulation therapy can help the shoulder muscles relax and rebalance.

Consult With a Chiropractor

Several common health issues can be addressed with chiropractic care. For many of them, some simple chiropractic adjustments can ease pain, increase mobility, and avoid the need for heavy pain medications or invasive surgeries. There’s no need to accept the fact that you can’t do the things you used to be able to do because of injuries, pain, or soreness. Give chiropractic treatment a try so you can get back to your active lifestyle.
