Common Ailments
Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to health that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. At Healing Hands of Newtown, we specialize in addressing a variety of common ailments through safe and effective chiropractic treatments. Here’s a look at how we can help with spinal degeneration, subluxation, and headaches.
Common Ailments Treated by Chiropractic Care
Spinal Degeneration
Spinal degeneration, also known as degenerative disc disease, is a condition where the discs, joints, and other structures of the spine deteriorate over time. This can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and other health issues. Chiropractic care can help manage the symptoms of spinal degeneration by improving spinal alignment, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall spinal health. Regular adjustments can slow the progression of degeneration and improve your quality of life.
Subluxation
A subluxation occurs when a vertebra becomes misaligned or moves out of its normal position, leading to pressure on surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and tissues. This misalignment can cause pain, reduced function, and other health problems. Chiropractors use manual adjustments to correct subluxations, restoring proper alignment and allowing the body to heal naturally. Addressing subluxations early can prevent further complications and maintain optimal spinal health.
Headaches
Headaches can be caused by a variety of factors, including tension, stress, and misalignments in the spine, particularly in the neck region. Chiropractic care is effective in treating headaches by addressing the root cause, such as tension in the neck and shoulders, poor posture, or spinal misalignment. Through gentle adjustments and targeted therapies, chiropractors can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, providing lasting relief.
