Pain From Injury
Every day, you walk, run, sit, and perform functions that could cause some sort of ache or pain to your body. Even when you’re sedentary, you could still harm your musculoskeletal system, because inactivity causes your bones to weaken and lose density.
Not to mention, your posture plays a role in the health of your bones, joints, and muscles. If you sit for long periods of time in one position, that puts pressure on your muscles and causes pain and stiffness.
That’s why it’s important to visit a chiropractor who can teach you how to prevent pain—whether you’re an athlete or a desk worker with a 9-to-5 schedule. Here are some common injury pains we treat at Family & Sport Chiropractic.
Neck Pain
Neck pain isn’t just restricted to your neck—it can cause headaches and migraines as well. Patients may experience stiffness, stabbing pain, and persistent aches from injuries like whiplash, muscle strains, and even chronic stress.
Our neck pain relief involves targeted massage techniques alongside gentle stretching to realign your neck and provide you with muscle relaxation and improved mobility.
Back Pain
Back pain can stem from prolonged sitting, lifting heavy objects improperly, or repeated movements like bending or twisting, which can weaken muscles and tissues. While our chiropractors in North LIberty offer the typical spinal adjustments for back pain, we also have non-invasive, hands-free, and restraint-free options like the Hako Med Therapy, which uses electrical stimulation to ease muscle spasms and improve strength.
Chronic Conditions
In order to be the best chiropractor in North Liberty for you, we also offer pain management treatments for chronic conditions.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy is an umbrella term for any condition related to the nervous system. It causes tingling, burning, and sharp or stabbing sensations throughout your body, most often in your lower limbs, hands, or arms.
This is a chronic condition with no known cure—yet. At Family & Sport Chiropractic, we offer lifestyle management and treatment options to help you feel more freedom from neuropathy.
Typically, this starts with finding the cause, or causes, of your neuropathy. These can range from nutritional deficiencies to circulation issues to inflammation. Then, we find the right treatment for you.
Your neuropathy treatment plan might include:
- Neurofeedback – Realigns your brainwaves to alleviate neurological discomfort.
- ReBuilder – Uses electric pulses to reactive and repair damaged nerves while improving circulation.
- Ozone Therapy – Uses a supercharged form of oxygen to stimulate blood flow, healing, and tissue repair.
Osteoarthritis
This is the most common form out of over 100 types of arthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that lines your joints wears down or gets damaged, causing your bones to rub together when you move.
We use the following techniques and treatments to relieve the pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion involved with this condition:
- Infrared Sauna – Directly heats your body rather than the air around you, which helps increase blood circulation and reduce pain.
- Cold Laser Therapy – Uses visible light radiation to boost cellular regeneration, enhance blood flow, and reduce inflammation.
- Ultrasound Therapy – Uses acoustic sound waves to provide a massaging effect to the treatment area for pain and joint stiffness reduction.
