What Uncomfortable Spinal Issues Can Chiropractic Care Treat?

Your spine connects and supports the rest of your skeleton, serving as a hub for your nervous system. If you experience back pain and other health issues, a spinal specialist can help find the cause and make improvements. In some cases, all you need is chiropractic adjustment.

At Advantage Spinal Dynamics & Innovative Medicine in Meridian, Idaho, chiropractic specialists Jamie Ricks and John Trachsel provide chiropractic care for a wide range of symptoms and conditions, especially those related to the spinal column.

Common spinal problems 

Back pain is a common complaint when visiting a chiropractor’s office, but it can be hard to diagnose because it has various causes. Potential causes of spinal pain that chiropractic care can remedy include: 

• Herniated or bulging discs 
• Pain caused by poor posture and inflexibility (tech neck)
• Soft tissue sprain/strain
• Osteoarthritis 
• Inflammatory conditions that pressure the spine

Consult a spinal specialist when dealing with back pain; primary care providers often focus on pain relief instead of rehabilitation, masking your immediate symptoms without solving the underlying problem. If left untreated, spinal issues can lead to other symptoms, including: 

• Neuropathy, or damage to peripheral nerves 
• Limited mobility and range of motion 
• Loss of bladder and bowel control 
• Hypertension, or high blood pressure
• Migraines and neurological disorders
• Urinary or intestinal pain (adult colic) 

By seeking chiropractic care for your spinal issues before they cause additional problems, you can save yourself a lot of pain, expense, and worry. 

When to consult a chiropractor 

To alleviate pain and other symptoms, the specialists at Advantage Spinal Dynamics use chiropractic adjustment to encourage a straighter, stronger spine. That relieves pressure on the surrounding nerves, allowing the nervous system to operate uninhibited. 

Chiropractic care also lets you focus on strengthening your posture and the muscles that support your back. Prevention is the best approach to back pain, and you can avoid a lot of spinal deterioration by maintaining alignment, flexibility, and stability.

Our team can put together a personalized plan to keep your spine healthy, flexible, and strong.

When a chiropractor properly aligns your vertebrae, it makes daily functioning much easier overall. You can move more freely, experience less pain, and enjoy greater flexibility. You might also avoid spinal surgery if the alignment resolves your pain issues.

At Advantage Spinal Dynamics & Innovative Medicine, we offer physiotherapy, chiropractic biophysics, and decompression therapy to help patients manage their spinal issues.
