SPECIALTIES
Elkhart Chiropractors have expertise in helping patients with a wide variety of injuries and chronic pain issues. Here are some of the conditions that can be addressed with quality chiropractic care.
Accident Injuries Injuries due to a vehicle accident can be debilitating. Whiplash and other trauma to the neck and spine can be painful immediately after the accident. They can also lead to headaches, migraine, neck or back pain, and other chronic issues later on. Elkhart Chiropractors can find the source of the pain and make adjustments to realign the spine and help the body heal. Back Pain Sprains, strains, and herniated discs can cause pain and limitations of movement in the low back as well as the upper back. These can be addressed and reduced through spinal manipulation and realignment of the surrounding tissues. Using a variety of techniques, Elkhart Chiropractors can help to reduce pain and restore function and ease of movement in the back. Carpal Tunnel Many people are familiar with the nagging pain of carpal tunnel syndrome. Repetitive motions such as typing, writing, and detailed hand work can cause the nerves of the wrist to become pinched and inflamed. Chiropractic treatment is an effective way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. Treatment by Elkhart Chiropractors can help release blockages all along the nerve, and reduce the irritation leading to inflammation. Foot Pain The foot is a complex structure, with numerous bones and joints. Nerves, muscles and ligaments can become strained or injured, causing pain in the heel, ankle, ball of the foot, and toes. Elkhart Chiropractors can determine the cause of your foot pain, and provide adjustments and other treatments that can get you back on your feet again. Hip Pain The large ball and socket joint of the hip can be subject to many causes of pain, including injuries, trauma, and inflammation due to arthritis or bursitis. These pains can be centered over the hip joint, or may radiate down the leg, making it difficult to stand and move about. Quality chiropractors at Elkhart can assist in reducing inflammation, strengthening the muscles around the hip joint, and improving mobility overall. Knee Pain Whether due to arthritis, runner's knee, or other injuries to the knee joint and the tissues surrounding it, knee pain can make it difficult to participate in daily activities. Elkhart Chiropractors can give treatments to reduce inflammation and pain in the knee, and restore mobility. Neck Pain Many people suffer with neck pain, which may be caused by cervical disc injuries, misalignment of the vertebrae, or simply strains to the soft tissues surrounding the neck. Elkhart Chiropractors can help in locating the source of the problem and giving the treatments needed to resolve neck pain. Pedatric Chiropractic Services These days, children lead very active lives. Besides outside play, they are often involved in sports and other activities that are physically demanding and can sometimes lead to trauma and misalignments. Chiropractic treatment is an excellent choice for children. The treatments are gentle, and children generally respond well to the adjustments. Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation that causes sharp pain in the heel. It is generally caused by strain due to poor foot support. Chiropractic adjustments to the foot and leg bones, along with orthotics that give proper support, can help reduce the pain and inflammation of this condition. Sciatic Nerve Pain Inflammation along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the back of the leg, can be very painful. Chiropractic adjustments, along with stretching exercises and posture modifications, can help people find relief from their sciatic nerve pain. Shoulder Injuries The wear and tear experienced by the shoulder joint can lead to injuries to the rotator cuff, or to inflammation of tissues such as tendonitis and bursitis. These conditions cause pain, weakness, and a limited range of motion. Chiropractors can help to control the pain and inflammation of these conditions through a variety of treatments and gentle adjustments. Sports Injuries A variety of sports place great demands on all areas of the body. Stresses on bones, joints, and ligaments can cause sprains, strains, and other injuries. With gentle, effective techniques, chiropractic care can help restore the alignment of bones, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility to get people back in the game. Wrist Injuries The wrist is a complex structure, with many bones and ligaments connected to structures in the hand, elbow, shoulder, and beyond. Misalignment in any of these areas due to trauma or stress can contribute to wrist pain. Elkhart Chiropractors can address the root cause of wrist pain and use gentle techniques to help heal the wrist and restore ease of motion. |
