Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can occur at any age, and many athletes allow their love of the game to interfere with proper treatment and rehabilitation. Repetitive injuries can take a toll, leaving people in chronic debilitating conditions as they live beyond their ability to compete. When people do not allow themselves time to heal properly and completely, they risk re-injury and/or prolonged healing. Re-injury or delayed treatment can lead to permanent damage, but proper treatment can lead to overall well-being and a long athletic career. Learn More . . .
Neck Pain
Neck pain can occur anywhere in your neck, from the bottom of your head to the top of your shoulders. It can spread to your upper back or arms. It may limit how much you can move your head and neck. Neck pain is common, especially in people older than 50. Read More . . .
Leg Pain
Leg problems commonly occur during sports or recreational activities, work-related tasks, and work or projects around the home. Leg problems also can be caused by injuries. Leg problems may be minor or serious and may include symptoms such as pain, swelling, cramps, numbness, tingling, weakness, or changes in temperature or color. Symptoms often develop from exercise, everyday wear and tear, or overuse. Read More . . .
Back Pain
Back pain may be mild or extreme, quick or constant. The causes of back pain can be complex. Some causes of back pain include accidents, muscle strains, and sports injuries. Various forms of medical imagery, such as X-ray, MRI, and CT scans, may be used in the diagnosis of back pain, and it is important to immediately see a doctor if you experience numbness or tingling, if your pain is severe and doesn’t improve with medications and rest, or if you have pain after a fall or an injury.

Arthritis
There are over 100 types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. The word "arthritis" means "joint inflammation." Inflammation is one of the body's natural reactions to disease or injury, and includes swelling, pain, and stiffness. Inflammation that lasts for a very long time or recurs, as in arthritis, can lead to tissue damage. There are several different treatments that can alleviate the pain of arthritis, as well as slow down tissue damage. Read More . . .
Headaches
Migraines and other types of headache -- such as tension headache and sinus headache -- are painful and can rob you of quality of life. Migraine symptoms include a pounding headache, nausea, vomiting, and light sensitivity. Alternative forms of treatment, such as massage therapy, and dietary changes, have proven effective for many in calming headache pain without the use of medication. Read More . . .
Sciatica
Sciatica is pain, tingling, or numbness produced by an irritation of the nerve roots that lead to the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is formed by the nerve roots coming out of the spinal cord into the lower back. Branches of the sciatic nerve extend through the buttocks and down the back of each leg to the ankle and foot. The most common cause of sciatica is a bulging or ruptured disc (herniated disc) in the spine pressing against the nerve roots that lead to the sciatic nerve, and extended periods of sitting and standing may worsen symptoms.

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia syndrome affects the muscles and soft tissue. Fibromyalgia symptoms include chronic pain in the muscles, fatigue, sleep problems, and painful tender points or trigger points at certain parts of the body. Fibromyalgia pain and other symptoms can be relieved through medications, lifestyle changes, stress management, and other fibromyalgia treatment. Read More . . .
Auto Accident Injuries
Auto accidents are one of the leading causes of musculoskeletal pain, where muscle tissue can be damaged by trauma. Symptoms include pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Different types of manual therapy, or mobilization, can be used to treat injury from auto accidents, as well as physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic care. Read More . . .
Work Injuries
Most job-related injuries are caused by falls, repetitive movements, awkward postures, reaching, bending over, lifting heavy objects, applying pressure or force, or working with vibrating tools. Manipulation therapies, such as chiropractic or osteopathic treatments, usually involve a trained practitioner performing twisting, pulling, or pushing movements to realign joints and bones. In addition to treatment, the use of ergonomic techniques can help you be more comfortable at work while reducing stress and injury caused by awkward positions and repetitive tasks. Read More . . .
