Treatment For A Full List Of Conditions 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is undoubtedly an epidemic in the United States. It is now a chronic and debilitating issue in the workplace, affecting those who perform repetitive tasks with improper rest or breaks. With an increase in computer use, the problem is affecting a more significant percentage of the population.

The signs of CTS include tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain in the wrist and hands. The purpose of treatment is to rehabilitate the wrist and help you stay working at your job. Treatment involves specific joint manipulation, physiotherapy, exercises, and possible braces. It is possible to feel better quickly without drugs or surgery.

Disc Pain

Discs are the stabilizers, connectors, and shock absorbers for the spine. They're constructed of soft, fibrous tissue with a jelly-like center. Disc problems can vary from a mild bulge or tear of the disc material to a severe rupture that will require surgery. The onset of pain is often sudden and painful, or you may notice increased pain with prolonged sitting. Most frequently, disc problems exist in the lower back, neck area, or lumbar spine. Bad cases are associated with arm or leg pain. Sometimes patients are practically carried into our office, as the pain and muscle spasm prevent them from standing.

Unfortunately, these cases don't respond as quickly as other common back problems. The reason is that discs have poor blood flow and heal slowly.

Research indicates that the mixture of physiotherapeutic modalities, exercise, and restored mobility through light spinal manipulation can enhance fluid transfer to the injured disc, permitting them to heal. Disc problems require lifestyle management through conservative care to avoid surgery.

Fibromyalgia 

Fibromyalgia affects from 3-6 million Americans, mostly 25-50-year-old women. Although in-depth studies have yielded few answers, it's believed that victims have reduced circulation to their muscle cells, which damages the cells' energy-producing mechanism. Their bodies also break down muscle protein at an unusually high rate, which may be one of the main reasons for the typical pain, aching, and fatigue. Proper diagnosis of fibromyalgia is based on 18 trigger points throughout one's body, nearly all painful or tender. Most traditional pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs have proven to be ineffective in treating fibromyalgia, although proper dieting and nutritional supplementation have been promising. Due to the association with reduced circulation to muscle cells, chiropractic concentrates on improving circulation, restoring proper skeletal alignment, and nervous system function. Severe cases respond to combining chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, and light medication to re-establish sleep patterns.

Hip Bursitis 

Hip bursitis is an annoying pain along the side of the thigh. It's caused by an inflamed fluid filled cushion (bursae) that lies underneath the hip muscle. Characteristically, symptoms include pain when lying on your side. The pain is most prominent in the hip and may even radiate down the side of the leg. Bursitis is brought on by altered pelvic and hip biomechanics with tight muscles.

Once irritated, the bursae will become inflamed and cause a substantial amount of hip pain. Specific adjusting in addition to physical therapy will heal the area quickly.

Low Back Pain

80% of Americans have instances of back pain in their life. The earlier treatment was to take medicine and rest for two weeks. Today's care involves immediate treatment with manipulation, physical therapy, and exercises. At Sebenaler Chiropractic, treatment and prognosis are based upon the kind of tissue involved and pain mechanism.

Many cases, including disc, muscle spasm, or simple joint fixation, respond to care well. A conservative approach is vital to healing and preventing ongoing back pain.

Neck Pain And Headaches 

Everybody has been troubled with neck pain and headaches at one time or another. Pain is a distress signal. Something is wrong. Often, headaches are caused when spinal bones in your neck aren't moving correctly, causing the muscles to tighten, affecting the nerves, ligaments, and blood flow to the head and shoulder region.

At Sebenaler Chiropractic, the physicians concentrate on treating the underlying cause of neck pain and headaches. Re-aligning the vertebrae in the neck and shoulder area helps restore the vertebra's proper functioning, removing muscle spasms. Massage and exercises help prevent the re-occurrence of the problem.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a condition in which the thin layer of tissue on the bottom of the foot (fascia) becomes inflamed or irritated. Symptoms include heel pain on walking, especially the first steps out of bed each morning.

Swelling and numbness occasionally accompany the problem. Causes include muscle tightness, sometimes a spur may irritate, and most commonly, poor biomechanics is the cause. Complex cases usually react to custom orthotics fitted at our office. Give your feet a break and find an explanation for the ache.

Sciatica

Sciatica is an extreme pain shooting down one or both of your legs. The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest nerve in your body. It begins in the lower back and courses through the buttocks, down the thigh and leg to the foot. Pressure to the nerve from any source creates pain down the nerve, generally known as sciatica. The pain might be intense and burning in the entire leg. Some instances are less severe with achiness into the buttocks.

Common causes of sciatica include joint inflammation, disc bulge, muscle spasm, and arthritis. Fortunately, most sciatica cases respond favorably to natural chiropractic care. The more severe and extended sciatica, the more time it typically takes to treat.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition of spinal deformity. The spine grows sideways, bent and twisted rather than straight. The condition can predispose to back pain, premature arthritis, and perhaps respiratory and other internal problems. Spinal curvature most often affects girls between the ages of 8 and 18. In some instances, kids are born with scoliosis. All children ought to be checked for scoliosis, especially if a parent has this spinal problem. At Sebenaler Chiropractic, our goal is early detection and treatment with corrective spinal manipulation, therapy, and structural strengthening exercises. Severe cases with rapidly advancing curvature might have to be referred for surgery. We treat many adults with scoliosis. In many instances, they're shocked when their X-rays show curvature. Care improves function and provides relief to their back pain but cannot correct the curvature. Chiropractic treatment offers hope for a healthy, pain-free life for the people affected by scoliosis.

Shoulder Injury

Shoulder injuries are characterized by pain and tenderness within the shoulder, arm, back, or neck region. Causes vary from trauma to overuse injuries of the muscle, ligaments, and tendons surrounding the shoulder and neck regions.

Our doctors effectively identify and treat these kinds of injuries through manipulation, physical therapy, and exercise rehabilitation.

Tennis Elbow 

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) is an overuse injury to the forearm's extensor muscles and tendons. Causes are often from an injury or a repetitive motion activity. Activities such as lifting a coffee cup can elicit mild to intense pain in the elbow.

There might be associated muscle weakness and inability to perform tasks. Through specific adjusting, physical therapy, and mechanical correction, you'll be able to go back to total activity quickly.

Whiplash

Whiplash is understood to be a neck injury brought on by over-extending or flexing the neck. Whiplash happens during a car accident, sports injury, roller coasters, or perhaps a fall. Symptoms usually include neck pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, shoulder and low back pain. Although most persons start to notice symptoms immediately following a trauma, they can be slow to develop and begin several weeks after the injury. If left untreated, whiplash can result in chronic and recurring problems, such as arthritis, headache, and stiffness. At Sebenaler Chiropractic, we are very effective at treating whiplash to minimize your recovery time. The goal is to return you to your active lifestyle as soon as possible.
