Musculoskeletal pain, which affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, interferes with every part of your day, from daily tasks such as brushing your teeth to your work duties.
When this pain becomes chronic, it can lead to sleep disruption, a poor social life, and depression. Before giving hope or masking the problem with pain killers, talk with our chiropractors about properly addressing pain management.

Managing musculoskeletal pain problems
Chiropractic care is most commonly associated with the treatment of musculoskeletal issues. And when you think of the work they do, spinal adjustments for the treatment of back and neck pain are likely what comes to mind.
It’s important to remember that even though these treatments are great for dealing with pain in the immediate area, focus on the spine may help you with issues in other portions of your body.
During your visit, we will ask you about your medical history and discover and address the root of the issue. If you’re dealing with pain in your hips, knees, arms, or any other part of your body, we will help alleviate those pain problems.
Treatments, including infrared massage therapy, heat, and cold therapy, along with stretching, may all be a part of what you experience during your visit. Because the spine links to all parts of your body through the nervous system, we may also focus on making adjustments to the spine to improve nerve flow throughout the body.
Furthermore, we understand that chronic pain may also cause issues with posture due to the body holding itself in awkward positions. These conditions may also cause inflammation or pain in your neck and back, which we treat with a holistic approach.
The result is happier overall day-to-day living.
Can chiropractic care extend beyond musculoskeletal pain?
Just because your pain is on account of something other than a musculoskeletal condition doesn’t mean a chiropractor cannot help you with other pain management.
Diabetes and fibromyalgia are two conditions that are known to inspire pain throughout the nervous system. The techniques we use can treat mechanical problems related to these conditions and also prove beneficial when combating these issues and many more.

Will it feel good?
Pain is something nobody should live with, and many people rave about the immediate relief that chiropractors can provide to them. Many also find this form of treatment appealing because it is non-invasive, nor does it include treatments with pharmaceutical drugs.
However, everyone’s experience varies. While many feel the benefits instantly, it’s not uncommon for an ill-feeling to accompany chiropractic adjustments. That doesn’t mean the treatment isn’t working, though. It means the opposite.
A bi-product of adjustments is the release of toxins trapped within your body. Upon release, they may inspire a “sick” feeling. Therefore, no matter what condition you are suffering from, it’s essential to drink plenty of water after your session. After the detox, you will feel better than you did upon entry.
No matter the cause of your chronic pain, it is worth reaching out for our help. We will help you get back to enjoying life as much as possible.
