Your spinal health affects much of your nervous system, causing various symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, headaches and more. Through Chiropractic care, we aim to find the cause.
At Kit Chiropractic we see a huge variety of health complaints, such as:
Lower Back Pain and Sciatica
It is estimated that more than 70% of adults suffer from back pain at least once in their lives. This pain is typically due to some misalignment in the small bones forming your backbone, the vertebrae, causing pinched nerves that hurt.
Headaches
Headaches are a common condition treated in a Chiropractic clinic. This is because most headaches stem from a musculoskeletal dysfunction.
There are several types of headaches, some common ones are:
-Tension Headaches
-Cervicogenic Headaches
-Migraines
Injuries to extremities
Injuries such as ankle sprains, shoulder pain, wrist and knee pain are also common conditions we see. These may be caused by accidents, sports injuries, strenuous activity or more.
Jaw pain or TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) dysfunction
Jaw pain occurs when you open and close your jaw, often followed by a clicking movement or sensation. There can be several causes for this, from poor head or neck posture to teeth grinding.
What many people do not realise is that the jaw is closely linked to neck posture and the spine. As such, Chiropractic may be able help your issue.
Dizziness and balance issues
Our spine contains cerebral spinal fluid, which can build up in the inner ear due to abnormal flows caused by subluxations (the dysfunction of a joint) in the spine. This interference in the spine can affect the ear’s sense of balance, causing dizziness.
Your chiropractor’s adjustments can help restore the proper joint mechanics and restore weight bearing, in turn allowing the area to function better.
Spinal health for moms and babies
Chiropractic is safe for pregnant women and babies, if used correctly. Pregnant women need a healthy spine to support the ever increasing weight in the belly; they need healthy nerves to send appropriate signals to the womb for the development of the baby; and when the baby is born, the body needs to change back to it’s original condition.
Babies have spines and nerves too, which facilitates their growth and development. It is essential for them to have a healthy spine during the first 2 years of their lives to enable them to reach certain milestones.
