Do You Suffer from Persistent Pain? Chiropractic May Be a Solution!

Persistent pain can have a serious impact on your everyday life. Whether it’s discomfort that permeates your neck muscles and joints, nerve pain throughout your neck and back, whiplash, chronic headaches, or discomfort following surgery or injuries, without the proper care, your symptoms can get worse.

At Northside Chiropractic, we use a combination of physical techniques to alleviate the pain caused by common conditions. We focus on whole-body health, with particular emphasis on the spine, nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

Through a detailed analysis of your most pressing issues, health history, and injury history, we will provide you with an accurate diagnosis and determine the root cause of your discomfort.

Head, Neck and Shoulder Discomfort

Headaches are one of the most common symptoms experienced by humans. Diagnosing headaches involves differentiating and determining the root cause of the problem. Our team of highly skilled chiropractors will work together with you to determine the type of headache you are suffering from while providing a comprehensive care plan to help alleviate your discomfort.

Likewise, chiropractic adjustments can be used for patients feeling pain throughout the head, shoulders and along the cervical spine – or what we consider neck discomfort. The causes of neck pain can arise from various factors, ranging from poor posture to spinal disc injuries.

No discomfort in the neck is the same. It is characterised by its place of origin, including:

• Neck joints and muscle
• Whiplash
• Neck nerve pain
• Neck arthritis
• Pain following surgery

Back Pain: One of the Most Common Ailments We See

Back pain can be acute, where it starts suddenly, or it can be chronic, where it gradually builds over time but is a near-constant source of discomfort. Some people may experience variations of improvement, but often the discomfort resurfaces and develops into a more persistent pain, affecting everything from daily living activities to what you can enjoy for hobbies.

We characterise back pain as:

• Mechanical, which can occur following traumatic injuries to the spine or the surrounding soft tissue.
• Degenerative conditions, which include rheumatoid arthritis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.
• Inflammation, which affects the joints and muscles in the back.
• Infections, which affect any region of the back (from your cervical spine down to your lower back).

How Chiropractic May Help

Poor movement and bad habits, along with physical, chemical and emotional stressors, can all lead to an overload on our spinal cord and nervous system.
