BACK PAIN SUFFERERS
Are you struggling with chronic back pain, or have you recently been injured & can't perform the activities you're passionate about?
Your back provides mobility for everyday activities, such as twisting, bending, and supports the pelvis and hips during movements like walking.
OUR APPROACH TO BACK PAIN RELIEF
Adjusting the low back and pelvis can help greatly with the nerve root impingement that causes sciatica. Addressing the muscles and fascia using Active Release Techniques and other muscle work can free up the sciatic nerve as it travels down the leg. As sports chiropractors, we also look at your posture and movement patterns to find out what caused the irritation and give you exercises and stretches so you can avoid having it occur again.
If neck pain interferes with your ability to hit the trails, slopes, and roads or simply work and engage in your usual routines and leisure activities, we strongly recommend scheduling an appointment. During your visit, we diagnose and treat your pain so you can get back to your daily routine. Whether it’s sharp or dull, aching, severe, or just annoying, put an end to the discomfort today!

Chiropractic Care vs. NSAIDS for Headaches
NSAIDS sometimes do the trick for reducing pain quickly, however they do little to address the cause of the headache. If you get headaches once in a blue moon, you are less likely to see a chiropractor for a headache. If you are getting headaches daily or several days a week, it is time to see a chiropractor who can help you figure out why you have repeated headaches, work to alleviate them, and can help you learn what to do so the headaches do not return as often.
