Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward your wellness journey. Chiropractic care can be used to address a wide variety of symptoms and conditions. Here are a few of the most common conditions that may benefit from a visit to our office:
Conditions We Treat
Headaches
If you suffer from chronic headaches or migraines, our chiropractic care can provide much-needed relief. Issues that could trigger a headache may include lifestyle factors, underlying medical conditions, chronic illnesses, stress, or even unknown reasons. Chiropractic care can help provide headache relief so the pain doesn’t slow you down. Headaches may range from mild aches to prolonged stabbing pain that can lead you to feel incapacitated. Our approach focuses on addressing spinal misalignments, muscle tension, and nerve irritations that can contribute to these conditions. Through chiropractic adjustments, lifestyle recommendations, and targeted therapies, we aim to reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.
Neck Pain
Neck pain can arise from poor posture, injuries, or underlying conditions. Dr. Banks is experienced in diagnosing and treating neck pain effectively. A feeling of sharp pain or achiness along the neck could be a sign of other underlying issues. Issues with the neck may prevent you from having full range of motion, and can lead to other injuries. Our chiropractic services are designed to help lessen and relieve the pain so you can gain full range of motion again without the pain. Through gentle spinal adjustments, manual therapies, and posture correction techniques, we aim to relieve muscle tension, improve range of motion, and restore neck function.
Back Pain
Back pain may be focused on a specific area of the upper, middle, or lower back or be more generalized. This pain can be incapacitating, preventing you from moving or bending over. Back pain is a prevalent issue that can significantly impact your daily life. Dr. Banks utilizes non-invasive techniques to identify the root cause of your back pain and develop a personalized treatment plan. By employing spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and other modalities, we aim to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance your overall well-being. Our care treatments can help relieve the pain in the tissues along the back, and allow you to return to your normal activities.
Herniated Discs
A herniated disc is when the soft inner part of the spinal disc ruptures and pushes out through a tear in the outer ring of the disc and presses against the nerves. This problem can occur anywhere along the spine. Our chiropractic services may help relieve the pain by moving the disc from the impacted nerve.
Carpal Tunnel
This hand condition involves the compression of the median nerve that may lead to numbness, a tingling sensation, or pain along the hand. Chiropractic treatments focus on relieving the pain caused by the compression and providing corrective treatment & exercises that help prevent this from becoming a long-term condition.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can limit your ability to perform daily activities. Our chiropractic approach to shoulder pain focuses on identifying the underlying causes, such as joint misalignments or muscle imbalances. Through chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, and supportive therapies, we aim to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore shoulder function. Shoulder pain can occur in a number of places along the upper body such as shoulder blades, rotator cuffs, arm joints, or along the upper back. Our treatments focus on determining the root location of the problem and helping to soothe the shoulder pain you are experiencing.
Knee Pain
Whether you’re dealing with a sports-related injury, osteoarthritis, or general knee discomfort, our chiropractic team is here to help. Knee pain can consist of achiness, sharp pains, grinding, or a numbing sensation. The discomfort may become worse when doing certain activities or during prolonged sitting. Our services help figure out the reason for the pain, such as a misalignment along the leg, as we then provide the appropriate treatments. We employ a holistic approach to knee pain, combining chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, and supportive therapies to reduce pain, increase stability, and promote optimal knee function.
Runner’s Knee
Runner’s knee is a condition where the kneecap causes pain. It could be the result of poor alignment of the thigh bone or lower leg bone as we treat the causes of the pain.
Foot Pain
Foot pain may be caused by poor alignment, foot injuries, chronic conditions, or old age. Too much pressure may be along part of the foot as our chiropractic services help to relieve this pressure.
Plantar Fasciitis
Some foot pain may be the result of plantar fasciitis, where the connective tissues that help support the foot experience pain due to misalignment. Chiropractic treatment targets this area to relieve the misalignment.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow involves the inflammation of the tendon that is outside the elbow. It is a type of tendonitis from overextension or when doing repetitive motions. Our services help to relieve the pain so you can regain movement of the target area.
Golfer’s Elbow
Golfer’s elbow is tendon inflammation along the inside of the elbow area. This pain and tenderness may extend down the forearm and into the wrist as our chiropractic practice helps to relieve the inflammation.
Neuropathy
If you’re experiencing debilitating symptoms of neuropathy, such as numbness, tingling, or pain in your extremities, our chiropractic care can provide relief. Neuropathy involves damage and pain to the nerves along the body that may be caused by compression or poor circulation. The location of the nerve damage may vary and feel like pins and needles or a sensation of numbness. Our office treats the impacted area by improving circulation and removing the compression. By addressing nerve compressions and optimizing spinal health, we aim to alleviate the symptoms of neuropathy and improve your overall quality of life.
Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling sensations that radiate down the leg. The sciatica nerve is located in the lower back region as it runs into the legs. This nerve may become compressed as our chiropractic services help to relieve this pressure. Our chiropractors employ spinal adjustments, traction therapy, and targeted exercises to alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain involves prolong tenderness, achiness, dull, or sharp pains that have not responded well to medication or other treatments. Chiropractic treatments may be a viable option to help lessen this pain.
Auto Accidents
If you’ve recently been in a car accident or experienced any other type of auto injury, our chiropractic care can help alleviate your pain and promote healing. Auto accidents may cause a range of different medical issues, from compressed nerves to the misalignment of joints. Our treatment services are tailored to your specific pain and injury to provide relief. We offer targeted treatment options to address whiplash, soft tissue injuries, joint misalignments, and other common auto-related conditions.
Sports Injuries
For athletes of all levels, we provide specialized chiropractic care for sports injuries. Sports injuries may be chronic conditions caused by repetitive movements or compression of the nerves. Whether you’re dealing with sprains, strains, repetitive motion injuries, or joint misalignments, our team can create a personalized treatment plan to promote recovery, enhance performance, and prevent future injuries. They may also be caused by an accident. Seeking chiropractic treatment may lessen the pain by treating the issue.
Personal Injuries
In the event of a personal injury, whether it’s due to a slip and fall or other incident, our chiropractors are well-equipped to assist in your recovery. We offer comprehensive care tailored to your specific needs, aiming to reduce pain, restore function, and facilitate the healing process.
TMJ Disorders
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause jaw pain, clicking, and restricted movement. Our chiropractic care incorporates gentle techniques to address TMJ issues, including manual adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and exercises. We aim to reduce jaw discomfort, restore proper alignment, and improve jaw function.
