Some people think that a chiropractor is simply a back pain doctor.  While chiropractors do address back pain, they also treat a variety of other conditions. Our next series of articles will discuss some of the problems that can be treated by a chiropractor.

Sacroiliac Issues

The sacroiliac (SI) joint is located at the bottom of the spine. When you have issues with your SI joint, it can result in low back pain that can extend all the way down to the back of your thighs.  We treat SI issues with a chiropractic adjustment, massage therapy, and exercises that help strengthen your core muscles.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a result of any activity or accident that causes the head and torso to rapidly move in different directions.  A chiropractor treats whiplash using a variety of treatments including chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy.

Headaches

Migraines, tension headaches, and other types of headaches are also among the issues a chiropractor can treat.  A pain relief center will use a variety of treatments including chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, dry needling and other types of therapies that address inflammation and joint/muscle tension.
