How Does Chiropractic Care Help

Chiropractic care is the diagnosis and manipulative treatment of misalignment of the joints, especially those of the spinal column. Misalignment can cause disorders and pain by affecting the nerves, muscles, and organs. Chiropractors look at your spine and joints, find the problem, and use natural approaches to correct them. Disorders and pain caused by misalignment can include headaches, nerve, muscle, and joint pain, inflexibility, sciatica, a weak immune system, constipation, acid reflux, and many more common ailments.

At Chiropractic Pain & Injury Center in Lexington, KY, we not only address your immediate symptoms with manipulations and therapies but also by discussing your current lifestyle. We locate sources of pain and find solutions to reduce or eliminate their effects, such as recommending small ways to change your work, travel, and sleeping space or changing your exercise routines. Our doctor can suggest diet changes, supplements, and foods that may help relieve symptoms.

We may recommend other treatments in conjunction with our care, such as massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and yoga, and we can even coordinate care with existing primary care and orthopedic providers.

Neck Pain, Back Pain, & Headaches

Pregnancy Care

Chiropractic care is a natural and safe way to reduce the aches and pains at any stage of pregnancy. Your body is constantly stretching and changing to accommodate new life. Add changes to your weight and how your body carries it, and you will have a recipe for new and different pain symptoms. Care has also been reported to help relieve symptoms of morning sickness.

Chiropractic treatments help prepare your body for labor. Specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment, called the Webster Technique, enables chiropractors to establish pelvic balance and reduce undue stress on the uterus and supporting ligaments. This treatment is clinically shown to create an optimal environment for fetal positioning, which reduces the chances of a breech positioning or, near the later trimesters, can provide more room for a breech baby to turn. Proper fetal positioning can even reduce dystocia (difficult labor) and labor times.

Sciatica

Sciatica is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, a large nerve extending from the lower back down the back of each leg. People with sciatica have pain, numbness, or weakness in their lower extremities. This pain is often a burning or shooting sensation extending from the lower back down the leg. Chiropractic treatments can locate spinal misalignments and issues that put additional pressure on the sciatic nerve and help to relieve these symptoms. We have seen many patients with sciatica and know our chiropractic treatments can help you if you suffer from this condition. Don't wait until your pain and condition gets worse.

Joint Pain

While spinal alignment plays a significant role in how the rest of your joints function, did you know that chiropractors can adjust more than just the vertebrae of the spine? Any joint in the body can be manipulated to ensure proper alignment and positioning. Doing so can decrease inflammation and pain, increase range of motion and stability, and allow your whole body to function at its best.
