What we do
At Eddy Family Chiropractic we provide quality chiropractic care that is neurologically and biomechanically based. We have great success helping patients that suffer from back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica and many other health issues. We provide our patients with individually tailored care, utilizing the most up to date research to best address all of our patients health and wellness concerns. With proper analysis and specific chiropractic adjustments, we are able to correct the root cause of many health issues.
Common Conditions
-
Back Pain
There are many factors that can cause or contribute to back pain including issues affecting the muscles, bones, joints or nerves. Back pain can be caused by any combination of factors including: strain on muscles and ligaments, arthritis, herniated discs, traumatic events, being overweight or even poor posture. This makes back pain a complex issue.
Since back pain is so complex it must be approached from many angles. We treat back pain in four main ways: spinal adjustments, therapeutic massage, custom exercise and stretching programs, and lifestyle guidance. -
Migraines
Migraines are severe headaches often accompanied by nausea, visual disturbances (or auras), and extreme sensitivity to bright lights, loud sounds or odors. Often, migraine headache pain is exacerbated by issues involving the spine, including "pinched" nerves and related inflammation.
Spinal adjustments and therapeutic massage can help relieve nerve impingements and tissue inflammation while also promoting circulation to make it easier for damaged tissues to heal. In addition, deep-tissue massage techniques can break apart muscle knots or adhesions that restrict normal, healthy movement and contribute to stress, neck pain and headaches. -
Sciatica
Sciatica refers to a condition that occurs when a nerve in the lower back - the sciatic nerve - becomes pinched or compressed where it exits the spine.
In most cases, sciatica can be relieved with spinal adjustments to realign the spine and enable “slipped” discs to resume their normal positions. Therapeutic massage and exercises can help reduce inflammation and speed healing while also strengthening the lower back to prevent uneven strain on the spine and avoid recurrence of symptoms. -
Neck Pain
Neck pain can be caused by several factors, including traumatic events like slip-and-fall accidents and car accidents, herniated discs, arthritis and other spine-related diseases, and even lifestyle factors like sleeping on an unsupportive mattress or pillow or spending long hours hunched over a cell phone or laptop.
Like back pain, neck pain is a complex issue that needs to be approached from many angles. So it is treated with a combination of: spinal adjustments, therapeutic massage, gentle stretching, and lifestyle guidance. -
Herniated Disc
Discs are spongy “cushions” located between each pair of spine bones (vertebrae). Their function is to protect the spine and the nerves that run through it from shocks and jolts while also helping the spine remain flexible. Sometimes, a disc can slip out of position, extending beyond the edges of the vertebrae and pressing against nerves as they exit the spine while also irritating and inflaming surrounding tissues. This is called a herniated disc.
We treat Herniated discs with a series of spinal adjustments aimed at coaxing the spine into its proper alignment so the disc can resume its normal position. Typically several adjustments are needed to move the disc slowly back into place.
The conditions above are only the most common we see in the office.
