Conditions Treated by Our Chiropractor

Chiropractors are specialists in treating musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and joint pain. Chiropractors use various techniques to treat these conditions, including spinal manipulation, massage therapy, and ice packs. This article will discuss some of the most common conditions that Stillwell Family Chiropractic and Massage chiropractors in Kent, WA, treat.

Back and Neck Pain

Chiropractors are often sought for their expertise in treating back and neck pain. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit the doctor. This pain may include muscle strain, herniated discs, and degenerative diseases. Neck pain is also widespread and can be caused by whiplash, poor posture, and pinched nerves.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a condition that affects the lower back and legs. It occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back to the feet, becomes compressed. This condition can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the legs and feet.

Spinal Degeneration

Spinal degeneration is a condition that affects the spine causing pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. Chiropractic care can help immensely with this condition. Our chiropractor will strengthen the muscles around the inflamed area of the spine to promote enhanced recovery.

Pulled Hamstrings

Pulled hamstrings are another injury chiropractors will treat. This condition results when the hamstring muscles are stretched or torn. It's often caused by running, playing sports, or lifting heavy objects. Treatment involves rest, ice, and massage therapy.

Joint Pain

Joint pain is another condition chiropractors often treat. Arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, or ligament damage is primarily the cause of this pain. Treatment for joint pain typically involves exercises, stretching, and massage therapy.

Headaches

Chiropractors are experts in treating headaches because the pain originates from the upper spine. In addition, headaches are caused by muscle tension, sinus problems, and eyestrain. Recovery from headaches involves relaxation techniques, massage therapy, and ice packs. Chiropractic adjustments may be necessary to relieve pain in some cases.

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis is a condition that causes the achilles tendon to become inflamed. The achilles tendon is the largest in the body and connects the heel bone to the calf muscle. The condition of achilles tendonitis can be caused by overuse, injury, or age-related wear and tear of the tendons. Treatment for achilles tendonitis includes rest, ice, and massage therapy. In addition, chiropractors can provide treatments that help reduce the inflammation and pain associated with achilles tendonitis.

Car Accident and Sports Injuries

Car accidents and sports injuries are common causes of pain and disability. Chiropractors are trained to treat the musculoskeletal conditions resulting from these injuries. Treatment for car accidents and sports injuries may include spinal manipulation, massage, and massage therapy. An expert chiropractor can also provide advice on injury prevention and rehabilitation.
