headaches
At Continuum Chiropractic, one of the most common reasons we see patients in the practice is due to frequent headaches or migraines that they experience. Eventually, enough becomes enough, and they seek help.
causes of headaches
Headaches are often caused by a structural problem, meaning that there’s something out of alignment or moving incorrectly in your skull, neck, or back. In fact, a lot of tension headaches result from people having issues with the muscles and ligaments in their neck and back being overstretched, which results in pain elsewhere-like the head!
Other common causes include spinal bones that are out of alignment and even bones within your skull that don’t have proper movement.
Thankfully, gentle, focused chiropractic care has helped patients just like you find relief from headaches naturally.
what to expect
If you’re ready to get help for your head or neck pain, we’re here for you. We begin the process by understanding exactly what’s going on in your body. This involves a neurological assessment and a structural assessment. Then, we’ll develop a plan that meets your specific goals and is entirely unique to your needs. With us, no two patients are the same, and we believe that you deserve focused, specific care. If you’re in agreement and ready to move forward, we’ll begin with your first adjustment, which may be in the spine or involve cranial work-or both.
Neck Pain
Sometimes, life can be a real pain in the neck—literally! Thankfully, when neck pain strikes, you have more options than just popping an over-the-counter or prescription pain medicine.
Gentle, focused chiropractic care has helped millions of people just like you, and we can’t wait to help you get back to experiencing a pain-free life.
how does neck pain happen?
One of the most common causes of neck pain is when a group of muscles or bones moves outside of their normal position. When this happens, it can cause a chain reaction of dysfunction throughout the body, and end up expressing itself as pain in your neck.
This means that you can experience neck pain due to a problem in the neck, upper back shoulders, low back, or even elsewhere!
Because we live in a modern world with technology and screens around every corner, another common culprit of neck problems is forward head posture. This often results when we spend too much time looking down at our laptops or phone screens. This problem often causes pain in the neck along with headaches and tense muscles in the shoulders. It can also affect patients of all ages and stages of life-in fact, we often see children in the practice with forward head posture that’s technology related-it’s often dubbed “tech neck.”
finding relief through gentle adjustments
At Continuum Chiropractic, we’re proud to offer a number of techniques for patients experiencing chronic or acute neck pain due to a number of causes. First, we begin care by carefully assessing your problem and complaints. Then, we’ll do a focused neurological and structural assessment to identify areas of concern, along with taking X-rays to get an inside look at what’s really going on in your body.
Next, we’ll develop a care plan that’s specific to your needs and concerns. This may include a variety of modalities, including chiropractic adjustments, exercises, and stretching recommendations among others-whatever we believe will help your body heal quicker and allow you to get back to living your best life, naturally.
Back Pain
Did you know that millions of work days are missed every year due to an aching back? At Continuum Chiropractic, we see patients just like you every day who want to find natural relief from both chronic and acute back problems.
Thankfully, with focused chiropractic care, there’s hope for exactly that.
how it works
Back pain generally occurs when a shift happens in the spine. This shift causes a chain reaction throughout the body as all of our ligaments and muscles are interconnected. In fact, where pain ultimately shows up may not be where the problem actually lies!
When you visit us for care, it’s our goal first and foremost to identify the cause of your pain and develop a plan of action to aid in healing your body naturally. We do this with a focused neurological and structural assessment which includes X-rays and a physical exam of the problem area.
We’ll recommend specific adjustment techniques suited for your needs-with us, you’re always more than just a number and will be treated with the unique care you deserve.
can back pain be prevented?
Yes! Back pain can not only be helped with gentle chiropractic adjustments, but it can also be prevented in the first place with a few simple tips. One of the best ways to prevent the pain from occurring is to strengthen core muscles. Your core is made up of many big and small muscles that help to keep your spine in proper alignment. A weak core is one of the most common causes for spinal bones slipping out of alignment. In the practice, we’ll show you how to do specific core stretches and exercises to strengthen the area.
Another important key in preventing back pain is maintaining proper posture of the head, shoulders and back. This means keeping your posture straight when you’re standing and sitting, as well as keeping your head held properly and not too far forward.
