Chiropractic care works by restoring the proper
motion of
joints and
spinal bones
as well as
reducing
nerve
irritations.
The joints
of the body
can often
lose their
normal range
of motion
and
position,
which
normally
causes
inflammation
and other
more serious
symptoms.
Luckily, techniques used in chiropractic practices improve and
reduce these symptoms!
Jaw.
Stress,
teeth
grinding and
spinal
problems all
can be the
root cause
of TMJ
(temporo-mandibular
joint)
disorders
where your
jaw connects
to the
skull.
Houston
Health &
Wellness
Center is
known to
restore
proper
nervous
system
control of
involved
muscles and
ligaments,
thus
reducing
pain,
stiffness,
locked jaw,
and even
clicking
sounds your
jaw may be
making.
Shoulder.
It is common
for shoulder
problems to
originate in
the area
where the
nerves
branch from
the spinal
cord and
exit the
neck. Within
this area
you may
experience
pain
radiating
down the arm
accompanied
with
weakness,
numbness or
tingling in
the wrists
or hands.
Luckily,
many
patients
report
dramatic
improvement
with
chiropractic
care.
Elbow.
Classic
tennis elbow
(lateral
epicondylitis)
is a
repetitive
strain
injury. This
type of
extremity
injury can
be commonly
found in
people who
perform
constant
physical
activity,
like
carpenters,
mechanics,
office
workers,
cashiers,
etc.
Wrist.
Carpal
tunnel
syndrome
(CTS) is a
widely known
condition
caused by
the
compression
of the
median nerve
as it passes
through
ligaments in
the wrist.
In most
cases, the
main cause
is due to a
misalignment
of one or
more joints
in the neck,
shoulder,
elbow or
wrist. To
help avoid
surgery in
the
correction
of this
misalignment
chiropractic
care is
always the
first step
in helping
with CTS.
Hip.
The “pelvic
girdle”, or
hip bone and
sacrum, are
the
considered
the
foundation
of your
spine. These
joints, when
misaligned,
can affect
nerves
exiting the
spine,
causing pain
and other
symptoms.
Fortunately,
chiropractic
adjustments
can produce
excellent
results!
Ankle.
Did you know
that the
ankle is the
most
frequently
injured
joint in the
body? Also,
“pronation”,
in which the
feet flare
outward and
kneecaps
rotate
inward, is
the most
common foot
problem. In
fact, stress
on the foot
increases
because weak
arches cause
the bones of
the foot to
drop to an
unstable
position.
Fortunately,
chiropractic
treatments
for this
condition
can improve
your gait
and
stabilize
the entire
skeletal
system.
