Aches and pains in your low back or neck could be caused by spondylosis, a condition that occurs after years of wear and tear on your spine. Although popping a few pain relievers can decrease your symptoms, the relief is only temporary and can be accompanied by unpleasant side effects. Chiropractic treatment eases your pain naturally and offers longer-lasting relief of symptoms.

What is Spondylosis?

Spondylosis, commonly called arthritis of the spine, occurs due to several age-related changes in your spine. As you age, the discs begin to dehydrate and shrink. As a result, they can't absorb shock quite as well as they could when you were younger. The dehydration process can cause cracks or tears in the outer layer of disks, increasing your risk of herniated disks. Herniations happen when the soft, gel-like center of the disc protrudes and presses on spinal nerves, causing pain.

Common Spondylosis Symptoms:

-Neck/Low Back stiffness
-Neck/Low Back Pain
-Difficulty moving or walking
-Muscle weakness in arms/legs
-Tingling in arms/legs

How Chiropractic Can Help

Chiropractic treatment can relieve pain, improve your range of motion and reduce pressure on your spinal nerves due to herniated discs or bone spurs. After performing an examination and conducting a few diagnostic tests, your chiropractor may recommend one or more of these treatments:

-Spinal Manipulation: Manipulations improve range of motion in your neck and back, decrease pain and make it easier to move the muscles in your neck and back.
-Spinal Mobilization: Spinal mobilization stretches the spine and decreases tension in the muscles between your vertebrae with slow, gentle movements.
-Flexion-Distraction: This improves mobility, decreases pressure on nerves and discs, reduces bulging of disks, and eases pain and stiffness.
-Massage: Massages help to relax muscles and improves blood flow to the area, facilitating recovery.
-Traction: Traction treatments gently pull and decompress your vertebrae, relieving pain and stiffness and decreasing pressure on your nerves.
-Other Therapies: Depending on your diagnosis, your chiropractor may also suggest ultrasound therapy, cold and heat therapy, electrical nerve stimulation treatment or trigger point therapy.

How Orthotics Will Change your Life!

Whenever you run, walk or stand, your feet form the foundation of your body. Sometimes, though, the shape of your foot or an injury can affect the angle at which your foot strikes the ground. If severe enough, this can cause pain in the foot, knee, hip, and low back. Custom orthotics can ease pain and make walking and standing much more comfortable.

What are Orthotics?

Orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts that cushion, align, and support your feet.

Why Foot Levelers?

Foot Levelers, Inc. has been in business for over 50 years. When ordering orthotics, a digital scan will be done of each of your soles. At least 16 different measurements of your feet are taken to ensure that your feet, and therefore your foundation, are more firmly supported. They primarily use a viscoelastic gel in the inserts that helps with comfort rather than a hard plastic insert. They also use a three arch system to help support your feet.

Now on to the Good Part, Promotions!

If you would like to order orthotics, then we have discounts for you!

1 Pair = $25 off
2 Pairs = $100 off including flip flops and sandals
3 Pairs = $150 off including flip flops and sandals

We are also offering a FREE foot scan for those that would like to order orthotics.

Do you struggle with frequent shin splints?

Chronic shin pain could be related to arch problems, underlying issues with your muscles, or shoes that don't support your feet adequately. Chiropractic care can offer a few treatments that will relieve your pain and help you avoid shin splints in the future.

What Are Shin Splints?

Inflammation in the muscles, tendons, and tissue layer covering the shin bone is responsible for shin splint pain. Shin splints are particularly common in runners, walkers, gymnasts, and dancers. If you participate in a sport that requires sudden stops and starts on a hard surface, such as basketball, tennis, or soccer, you may be more likely to develop shin splints. Stressed or fatigued calf muscles strain the tendons in your shin, causing shin splint pain as well.

How Do Chiropractors Treat Shin Splints?

A spinal misalignment may be a contributing factor in shin splint pain. In addition to causing pain, misalignments stress muscles, ligaments, and tendons, making it easier for you to hurt yourself when you're active. Realigning your spine improves the alignment and balance of your entire body. In fact, once your spine is properly aligned, stress and strain on your lower leg may decrease. Adjustments can also be performed on your knee, ankle, calf, and foot. Adjusting these areas will loosen muscles and improve blood flow, in addition to improving alignment.

Other Treatments that May Help:

-Massage. Massaging tight muscles in your leg keeps them loose, eases pain, and may help you avoid new shin splints.
-Shoe Inserts. Prescription shoe inserts, called orthotics, will keep your feet properly balanced and supported.
-Soft Tissue Mobilization. A handheld instrument loosens tight tissues during soft tissue mobilization therapy and breaks up scar tissue around your tibia.
-Stretching Exercises. Your shin splints could be related to tight muscles in the back of your calf and weak muscles in the front of your lower leg.
-Ultrasound Therapy. The therapy eases pain, reduces inflammation and swelling, improves blood flow, and helps break up scar tissue.
-Taping. Applying flexible tape to your foot and lower leg may reduce stress on your shin.
-Dry Needling. Knots in your shin muscles may be to blame for your shin splints. Dry needling, a therapy that involves relaxing tight muscle fibers by inserting a needle into them, loosens and relaxes the knots.

Are your joints stiff, tight and painful?

Poor range of motion affects your ability to move freely and easily. Range of motion problems can occur due to problems with the bones, muscles, and soft tissues in and around a joint. If you're struggling with a stiff, painful joint, chiropractic care offers an effective way to relieve pain and improve joint flexibility naturally.

Why Good Range of Motion Is So Important

If you have a joint restriction and ignore the symptoms, you may eventually face a "use it or lose it" situation. Poor range of motion could become a chronic or permanent problem, particularly if scar tissue forms around a joint. Without full range of motion, you'll struggle to do many everyday things, from bending to pick up a dropped pen to swinging a golf club to getting up from a chair. Other muscles and joints must handle the load when one joint loses flexibility, which can lead to balance problems and increase your risk of injury.

Diagnosing Your Problem and Creating a Treatment Plan

Chiropractors understand how range of motion problems affect the entire body and offer treatments to improve flexibility and joint movement. Whether your issue is due to an injury, poor posture, surgery, muscle spasms, a dislocation, or another cause, chiropractic care offers an effective treatment option.

During your visit to your chiropractor, your doctor will assess these three types of movement:

-Active. Active range of motion measures how well you can move your joint on your own.
-Passive. Passive movement measures the range of motion when your chiropractor moves your joint.
-Active-Assistance. Active-assistance measures joint movement when your active movement is combined with assistance from someone else or a device, such as a resistance band.

Your visit may also involve X-rays and other tests that help the chiropractor determine the cause and extent of your movement problems. The range-of-motion evaluation and tests help your chiropractor provide a diagnosis and create a treatment plan.

Treatments that Can Help with Your Range of Motion

-Loosening Tight Tissues with Heat- Placing a heat pack on stiff joints helps to relax tight muscles, improve circulation and reduce inflammation.
-Massages Relieves Pain and Stiffness in Joints- Massages help break up scar tissue, eases muscle spasms, relieves pain, and relaxes and stretches tight muscles, tendons, and ligaments, making it easier to move your joint.
-Manipulation Therapy- This treatment improves range of motion, reduces inflammation and stiffness, and eases pain.
-Exercise- Exercises recommended by your chiropractor helps to keep your tissues loose and flexible.

If you or a friend/family member suffers from stiff joints, call our clinic today for a FREE consultation so we can help alleviate your symptoms.

Do you need help with your degenerative disc disease symptoms?

Wondering why you have a nagging pain in your back or neck? Your symptoms could be caused by changes in the discs in your spine, the rubbery structures that cushion your vertebrae. Over time, spinal discs may break down, or degenerate, due to aging or injury. Chiropractic treatment offers an effective way to reduce pain, stiffness, and other degenerative disc disease symptoms.

What Causes Degenerative Disc Disease?

Years of moving, twisting, bending, running, and jumping take a toll on your spinal discs and can be a factor in degenerative disc disease. Water inside the discs helps keep them plump and healthy. As the water content decreases with age, the discs become flatter and don't provide quite as much cushioning when you bend, lift, or move. Aging isn't the only factor in degenerative disc disease. The condition may also be caused by obesity. Excess weight stresses every part of your body, including your spine. Your discs could also degenerate due to an injury or fall, smoking, or your job. If your work requires frequent twisting or heavy lifting, you may be more likely to develop degenerative disc disease.

Degenerative disc disease symptoms range from mild to severe and can come and go. Symptoms may include:

-Back or Neck Pain
-Neck or Back Stiffness
-Trouble Bending or Twisting
-Numbness and Tingling
-Sciatica

Chiropractic Treatments That Can Relieve Degenerative Disc Disease Pain May Include:

Massage Therapy. Massages helps to loosen tight muscles. This therapy also boosts the production of natural hormones that ease pain and encourage relaxation.
Spinal Manipulation. Spinal manipulation realigns the vertebrae in your neck or back, improving mobility and decreasing pain and stiffness.
Flexion-Distraction Therapy. Conducted on a special moving table, this therapy stretches the spine, improves blood flow to the discs, reduces pressure on the discs and tissues, and decreases bulging if you have a herniated disc.
Ultrasound Therapy. Ultrasound therapy creates heat that soothes and relaxes deep tissues and improves blood flow while relieving pain.
Trigger Point Therapy. Trigger point therapy targets the hard knots in the muscles that can develop due to degenerative disc disease. Your chiropractor applies steady pressure that loosens and stretches the tight fibers in the muscle.
