Problems we treat at Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness
Aches, pains and injuries affect us all. Many people choose to "live with it". You don't have to!
Our team of chiropractors and massage therapists can help.
Spine
Spine conditions are one of the leading causes of pain and disability world wide. You don't have to be part of that group!
Headaches affect 50% of people. The most common type of headaches - migraines, tension headache and cervicogenic headache - greatly benefit from chiropractic care!
So if you are suffering with headaches, and would like help stopping them, we can help!
Migraines are more than 'just a headache'. They are a complex neurological condition, with head pain being one of the key features.
If you are dealing with migraines, we can help! I have found that those who are suffering with migraines that begin with neck pain have near miraculous improvements with chiropractic care!
For those who's migraine do not start with neck pain, chiropractic care when combined with a multi-pronged approach can be a game changer.
Spine pain - including neck pain - is one of the leading causes of disability world wide.
The cause of neck pain varies from person to person. The short list of neck pain causes are arthritis, muscle, joint, nerve, and disc problems.
The good news is that you don't have to struggle with neck pain anymore!
Spine pain - including back pain - is one of the leading causes of disability world wide. If you have a foot problem, you can still get around and live life.
When your back hurts, it makes it nearly impossible to do anything at all. Getting out of bed, getting dressed, even just standing up can be next to impossible.
As someone who has dealt with serious back pain, I know exactly what it feels like. And I know that chiropractic care is the solution!
Disc injuries are the leading cause of back pain, causing roughly 40% of all back pain. These injuries can cause symptoms that range from local stiffness, to pain, to causing lighting, a hot wire, or fire to shoot down your leg!
The good news is that chiropractic care is part of the solution. It takes more than simply 'aligning' the spine. Disc herniations and disc bulges require a comprehensive approach such as the one we use at Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness!
Stenosis is a fancy word for describing a narrowing within the spine that often occurs as we age. This condition will often cause back pain, neck pain, along with pain shooting into your arm or leg.
This narrowing causes a smaller amount of space for the nerve, along with all of the other neuro-vascular structures to travel through
When there is dysfunction, restrictions, scar tissue formation in combination with stenosis, you will often experience the symptoms described above.
A conservative, non-surgical comprehensive approach to treating stenosis is often successful in significantly reducing the pain, and improving your function!
Obviously no conservative therapies are able to cause structural changes to your spine. However, we are able to make functional improvements, and I have often helped my patients suffering with stenosis become pain free!
Sciatica is a fancy word the medical community uses to describe leg pain. There are many potential causes of sciatica.
These causes include a pinched or inflamed nerve, joint or muscle.
While each condition can cause sciatica, they each require different treatment strategies.
The good news is that we are experts in determining what is cause fo your sciatica pain is, AND treating it!
Pelvic girdle pain is especially common during and after pregnancy. When you are pregnant, not only are biomechanical changes happening to your body, but hormonal changes as well.
You may have noticed feeling different? Food cravings? Unexplained happiness or bursting into tears for no reason at all? Feeling "hormonal"?
These hormonal changes also affect how you feel, and how your joints and muscles work, leading to pain.
This pain can even last postpartum. The good news is that we are experts in getting you feeling better, back on track, so you can focus on whats important - taking care of your beautiful baby, without having to worry about your pelvic girdle pain.
Joints
Joint pain and injuries can ruin your day, and affect your life. The good news is you don't have to suffer any longer!
The temporomandibular joint (often referred to as the TMJ) causes pain and problems for many people.
Whether from stress (clenching and grinding), or trauma (a fall, head butt or punch to the face), the TMJ can become injured.
Pain, popping, and locking are all common side effects.
If you are dealing with TMJ problems, we can help!
The shoulder is one of the most commonly injured joints in the body.
I've injured my left shoulder myself. So I know all about shoulder injuries, the pain, and the rehabilitation that is required!
While the rotator cuff is most commonly injured - either a strain, tendinopathy, or tear- other issues can also cause shoulder pain.
Bursitis, impingement, labrum, bankart injuries and dislocations (like the one I had - OUCH!), just to name a few.
Bottom line: if you are dealing with a shoulder problem, we can help!
Tennis elbow (and golfers elbow) does not only affect tennis players and golfers!
Elbow pain can range from a slight annoyance to making it impossible to grab anything. Even turning a door handle can be painful!
Many methods fail to appropriately treat elbow pain because they simply stop at pain reduction.
To make lasting change, you need pain reduction strategies, an appropriate tissue loading and strengthening approach, along with a thought out approach to managing the bio-mechanical stressors affecting your elbow.
Bottom line: we can help get rid of your elbow pain, even if others could not!
Hand and wrist pain can come in many shapes and sizes. For some people it is. a mild inconvenience.
For others, they are completely handicapped. Not being able to use their hand for anything due to the pain.
At Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness, we can help solve your hand and wrist pain.
From sprain/strains, to tendonitis, pulley ruptures, and more.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common peripheral nerve injuries.
It is caused by compression of the median nerve inside of the carpal tunnel - your wrist.
Let me ask you: does your hand go numb at night? While working, typing, or grabbing things? Are you dropping stuff? Do your hands feel clumsy?
Are your hands numb, burning, or tingling?
If so, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome.
I have found that mild to moderate cases of carpal tunnel syndrome can be effectively treated without surgery or shots.
Severe cases can also be treated, however, it is much more challenging, and takes much longer. Often patients re not willing to do what needs to be done, and surgery is required.
This is why it is so important to treat carpl tunnel syndrome BEFORE it becomes severe.
Fortunately, at Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness we can help!
Hip pain does not just affect seniors. I've successfully treated children, young adults, and not - so - young adults successfully for their hip pain.
There are many possible causes of hip pain. These include problems with the joints, muscles, tendon's, bursae, and nerves.
Many people with hip pain think it is due to arthritis. While this does occur, it is not as common as people believe, especially under 50.
At Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness, we assess, diagnose and successfully treat all causes of hip pain on a daily basis.
If you are struggling with hip pain, you owe it to yourself to get it under control. We can help get you there!
It seems that nearly everyone deals with knee pain at some point in their life. Sometimes it never seems to go away. Other times, while it goes away, it always comes back.
Knee pain can be caused by arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, plica syndrome, meniscal injuries, ACL and PCL sprains or tears, MCL and LCL sprains or tears, and more.
The reason most people with knee pain do not get better is that the root cause of the problem is not solved.
The knee is like the middle child - always getting beaten up by its older and younger siblings, between the hip and ankle.
When we solve the root of the problem, not only can the knee pain get better - you can finally STOP having the knee pain come back.
To solve knee pain, you need a holistic treatment approach that addresses the knee, but also the area's above and below the knee.
You guessed it! At Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness this is the exact approach we take at treating, and solving your knee pain!
Ankle pain and injuries can severely affect your mobility, and ability to function in every day life.
If severe enough, you can't even put any weight on it.
While most ankle injuries get better on their own, some require extensive therapy.
You certainly don't want to end up having a chronic ankle sprain! Where nearly every other day your ankle gives out from just stepping off the curb.
The good news is at Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness, we can help you with even the most severe of ankle sprains. Even the chronic ankle sprain that your just sick and tired of dealing with.
If you have been experiencing heel pain those first few steps in the morning, you may have plantar fasciitis.
Sometimes it feels like you are stepping on a marble, or even a nail.
If it gets worse, the pain starts to travel into the arch of your foot, and starts to affect you throughout the day. No longer just those first few steps.
Some people with plantar fasciitis walk like they are walking on broken glass!
Fortunately at Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness we have all the tools needed to get you back on your feet - pain free!
