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!

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 yes, 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 carpal tunnel syndrome BEFORE it becomes severe. Fortunately, at Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness we can help!
