Can Turner Chiropractic Clinic Help ?

You may be wondering if chiropractic care can ease your pain and discomfort. The answer is likely yes. That's because chiropractic care has been around for much longer than you might think.

In fact, its roots go back thousands of years to ancient China and Greece, where similar manual therapies were used as far back as 2700 BC. In short, it's tried, tested, and true!

Today, people around the world turn to chiropractic care to treat various injuries and conditions without resorting to surgery or medication. Below are a few common scenarios in which chiropractic care may be the right treatment for you:

You Have Been in an Auto Accident

Even a minor fender bender can leave your body with lasting impacts. A sudden collision can throw your spine out of alignment, damaging soft tissues and causing nerve interference that might cause pain immediately or symptoms weeks later especially for whiplash injuries. 

Chiropractic care addresses those injuries at their source, realigning your spine and restoring proper nerve function. Early intervention after an accident can prevent chronic pain from developing and help you avoid long-term complications.

You're Experiencing Headaches or Migraines

You don't have to live with those pounding headaches. Many of them, including some migraines, stem from tension in the neck muscles and misalignments in the cervical spine. 

Through gentle adjustments, chiropractic care can relieve that tension, improve blood flow to the brain and reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Your Back or Neck Is Giving You Trouble

Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care and for good reason. Rather than masking symptoms with medication, chiropractic addresses the underlying causes of discomfort. 

That might be poor posture, injury, degenerative conditions, or everyday stress. By restoring proper alignment and function to the spine, you can move more freely and comfortably.

You Have Sciatica or Radiating Pain

That shooting pain down your leg isn't something you have to live with. Sciatica and other forms of radiating pain often result from pressure on spinal nerves. 

Chiropractic adjustments can relieve that pressure, allowing irritated nerves to heal and reducing inflammation. Many of our patients experience dramatic improvement in leg pain, numbness and tingling with regular chiropractic care.

You Have a Sports or Work-Related Injury

Muscle strains, sprains and repetitive motion injuries are common in athletes and workers alike. Chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitative therapies can correct structural imbalances that cause soreness or decreased performance. We can help speed up healing and prevent re-injury.

You're Dealing with Arthritis

Chiropractic can’t reverse the joint damage from arthritis but it can improve joint function and reduce pain. Gentle adjustments improve mobility in arthritic joints, proper alignment reduces stress that can accelerate degeneration. For many arthritis patients chiropractic is a way to stay active and comfortable without relying on medication.

You’re Pregnant or Managing Post-Pregnancy Aches

During pregnancy, your body goes through many changes, including extra weight on your back and possible changes in your pelvis which can result in back pain. 

Chiropractic care offers safe techniques – gentle adjustments and exercises – to relieve tension in your lower back, hips, and sciatic nerve. Postpartum we offer a customized chiropractic plan to help new moms recover by re-balancing the spine, easing muscle strain and supporting overall mobility.

You Have Respiratory Issues

Believe it or not your spine plays a big role in respiratory function. Misalignments in the thoracic spine can restrict rib movement and nerve function to the lungs, limit your breathing capacity. 

Chiropractic adjustments in this area can improve chest expansion and nerve supply to respiratory muscles, help you breathe more deeply and efficiently.

You Feel Fine and Want to Stay That Way

Chiropractic isn’t just for when you’re in pain it’s also a preventive measure. Regular adjustments can maintain proper spinal alignment and nervous system function, prevent problems before they start. Just as you get regular dental check-ups to prevent cavities, regular chiropractic care can keep you healthy and well.

What Does Science and Research Say?

If you're wondering about the research behind chiropractic care, there's good news. Scientific studies continue to validate what our patients experience every day. Here are a few:

Lower back pain

A 2018 study   of 750 military personnel found that those who got chiropractic care on top of their usual treatment reported less pain intensity, improved function, less disability, higher satisfaction and needed less pain medication than those who just had their usual care.

Neck Pain

For people with neck pain, a 2021 scientific review found spinal manipulation to be effective for acute neck pain, alone or in combination with other treatments. Research suggests this may work by increasing the level of natural pain-relieving hormones like oxytocin in your body.

Headaches

If you have headaches, especially those from neck issues, studies show chiropractic may help. A 2020 review of multiple studies found spinal manipulation to be superior for short-term pain intensity, frequency and disability in people with cervicogenic headaches
