At Authentic Chiro, we provide targeted chiropractic care for injuries and conditions. Our holistic approach focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of your pain or dysfunction rather than just addressing your symptoms. Through precise adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle guidance, we help your body heal naturally and restore optimal function.
Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury or a chronic condition, our experienced chiropractor, Dr. Dan Wilson, will develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your pain, improve your mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life. Explore some of the common injuries and conditions we treat below.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in your wrist becomes compressed, leading to numbness, tingling, weakness, and nerve pain in the hand and fingers. This condition is often caused by repetitive motions, poor ergonomics, or underlying health issues.
Our chiropractic care for carpal tunnel syndrome focuses on relieving pressure on the median nerve through gentle adjustments to the wrist, elbow, and cervical spine. We also incorporate stretches and exercises to improve flexibility and strength in the affected area, helping to prevent future flare-ups.
Disc Degeneration
Spinal disc degeneration is a common age-related condition where the shock-absorbing discs between your vertebrae begin to deteriorate. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the neck or back. While disc degeneration is a normal part of aging, factors like poor posture, injuries, and obesity can accelerate the process.
Chiropractic care can help slow the progression of disc degeneration and alleviate associated symptoms, including chronic pain. Through spinal adjustments, we restore proper alignment and take pressure off the affected discs. We also teach you exercises and ergonomic techniques to support your spinal health and prevent further degeneration.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It typically develops slowly and can limit your range of motion, making everyday activities difficult. A frozen shoulder may occur due to sports injuries, previous surgeries, or immobilization of the arm.
Our approach to frozen shoulder involves gentle chriopractic adjustments to the shoulder joint and surrounding areas to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. We also use therapeutic techniques like stretching and muscle work to break up scar tissue and restore function. Our goal is to help you regain pain-free movement in your shoulder.
Headaches & Migraines
Headaches and migraines can be debilitating, affecting your work, relationships, and overall well-being. While there are many potential triggers, issues like cervical spine misalignment, muscle tension, and stress are common culprits.
Chiropractic care offers a drug-free solution for headache and migraine relief. By correcting misalignments in the neck and upper back, we alleviate tension and improve function in the cervical spine. This can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines, providing you with much-needed relief.
Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica often occurs when a herniated disc or bone spur compresses part of the nerve, causing inflammation, pain, and sometimes numbness.
Our sciatica treatment focuses on relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve through targeted chiropractic adjustments to the lumbar spine and pelvis. We also incorporate stretches and exercises to alleviate tension in the affected area and strengthen the core and back muscles to prevent future episodes of sciatica.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury that commonly occurs during auto accidents, particularly rear-end collisions. The sudden forceful movement of the head and neck can damage the soft tissues, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
Chiropractic care is a highly effective treatment for whiplash injuries. Through gentle adjustments, we restore proper alignment to the cervical spine and alleviate muscle tension. We also use therapeutic modalities like massage therapy and ultrasound to promote healing in the affected tissues. Our personalized treatment plans help you recover from whiplash and prevent chronic neck pain.
