On average, most Americans will experience some form of back pain at some point in their life. In fact, it is estimated that over 30 million Americans are experiencing back pain right now and that approximately 80% of the population will experience a form of back pain in their lifetime. It’s not surprising that back pain has grown to be the #1 cause of disability in the United States. These statistics should stimulate concern regarding what causes lower back pain, how to prevent it, and what the best form of treatment is once it has developed. Our team at Hendrickson Chiropractic and Wellness Center are highly trained in their treatment. Multiple studies have shown chiropractic care to be the most effective form of treatment for the various causes of back pain. As with any condition, it is recommended to take a conservative, effective, and non-invasive approach to the treatment of back pain first. If you are suffering from any form of back pain please contact our Oshkosh Chiropractic office today to schedule a consultation.
Headaches and Neck Pain
It has been shown time and time again that chiropractic care is highly effective at helping people who suffer from migraines and neck pain. When the spine is aligned and pressure is removed from the nervous system, this will prevent headaches from occurring. While most people know that they should visit the dentist they are not sure that they need to visit the chiropractor. Dentists take care of our teeth which is an important job, but your spine and nervous system control everything in your body. For over one hundred years chiropractic care has been relieving pain from headaches and migraines. Our chiropractors know and understand the nervous system's master role in the body. If the spine moves out of position it can put pressure on the surrounding nerves. This pressure can result in many problems, but it can also result in headaches.Our team works diligently to find the source of your headaches to help you to put an end to them. Each year millions of dollars are spent treating headaches with aspirin and other drugs. While this may help in some cases, it is often not treat the cause of the problem. Chiropractors are able to work at the source of the problem, which can help you prevent the need for headache medications in the future.
Arm and Leg Pain
Our shoulder and hip joints are two of the most used joints in our bodies. The combination of frequency and mobility has led to a range of possible injuries and sources of pain. Sometimes people are completely aware of what caused their pain; maybe it is a weekend warrior who overused the joint in an athletic competition, an unfortunate participant in a car accident, a person lifting too much weight at work or home, or a grandmother who fell asleep holding their grandchild in one position all night. Typically, these situations cause almost immediate pain or discomfort as a result of muscle, bone, or nervous system damage and irritation. However, many people develop arm and leg pain over time and are unaware of what may have caused it. When the patient is unsure about what may have caused the pain, vertebral subluxations, arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, and frozen shoulder become likely suspects.How can chiropractic help with arm and leg pain? As with any condition, you want to start with treating the most common and typical cause of the pain and symptoms first. Our doctors at Hendrickson Chiropractic and Wellness Center have found over many years that misalignments (subluxations) of the vertebrae in the neck are responsible for the vast majority of arm and leg pain. As described above, when these bones are out of position and lose their ability to move properly, they often cause irritation to the surrounding tissues including the nerves. As a result, injuries to the vertebrae in the spine can create the sensation of pain anywhere along our arms and legs. Through the treatment we provide patients at our office have experienced high levels of success through chiropractic treatment.
