Muscle Pain/Tightness
Muscle pain and tightness are probably the most common things we see in our office daily. Probably every human will experience this at some point in their lifetime. Therefor the question becomes how severe and how often is one dealing with the issue?
Headaches
Headaches affect more then 45 million Americans every year
There are many different types of headaches with symptoms ranging from mild to moderately achy or throbbing pains often associated with dysfunction in your neck.
Headaches can arise from numerous factors, including stress, muscle tension, poor posture, joint dysfunction in the neck, and underlying medical conditions. It is crucial to identify the root cause to effectively address and alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with headaches.
Cervical Disc Injuries
Cervical Disc Injuiries or Disc herniations are a very common cause of neck pain and can be severly debilitating. Herniated discs commonly occur in people in their 30s and 40s. There are different levels of severity of disc injury as well as very different levels of pain from minor to severe.
Whiplash
Whiplash is an injury that occurs to the neck when a sudden, rapid force is applied causing your head to move back-and-forth quickly. While most people commonly associate whiplash with an auto-mobile accident, whiplash can also occur from sports, slips, falls and other sorts of physical trauma.
Pinched Nerve
A “pinched nerve” is a common term used in chiropractic clinics across the country, and it is usually one that is not well defined. In medical terms a pinched or compressed nerve occurs when force is applied to a nerve or bundle of nerves by bone, ligaments, tendons, or muscles. This generally leads to pain, numbness, and tingling.
Vertigo
When most people think of vertigo, they think of being dizzy or spinning. True vertigo or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is caused by issues with the vestibular system in the inner ear when little crystals get dislodged in a way that sends signals to your brain that make you feel like you are spinning.
Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction (TMD)
TMD, Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction, is commonly (incorrectly) referred to as “TMJ”; however the TMJ (temporal mandibular joint) is merely the joint itself. When pain, muscle imbalance and overall dysfunction are present, it is correctly referred to as TMD.
