Feel Your Best with Chiropractic Care & Rehabilitation in Rochester
The body comprises various complex structures, including the spine and the musculoskeletal system (joints and soft tissues). These structures have nuanced interrelationships that depend on balance and integrity. If one area becomes compromised, other parts often compensate, placing undue pressure on areas not designed to support it.
Chiropractic care and rehabilitation are safe, natural ways to encourage healing, recovery, and strengthening in the spine, joints, and tissues. Chiropractors utilize techniques that seamlessly integrate with the body’s innate healing process, so you get real results without aggressive procedures.
Pain or noticeable dysfunction is the only way our bodies can communicate that something is wrong, so we must pay attention. Minor symptoms can snowball into more significant issues and lead to surgery, opioid use, and chronic pain if not properly treated.
Whether you have an old sports injury, find sitting at your desk uncomfortable, or need to prepare for an upcoming sporting event, our Rochester family chiropractic clinic has solutions to help you find comfort and keep it.
Common Conditions Treated with Chiropractic Care in Rochester
IT Band
Chiropractic care is a reliable, proven, comprehensive way to treat various health issues related to the spine and musculoskeletal system. While some conditions can’t be cured, working with a chiropractor may help you find pain relief without the aid of medication.
Common symptoms, injuries, and conditions that can benefit from visiting our Rochester chiropractor include:
Back pain
Most of us rely heavily on the back and spine for numerous daily movements and to provide stability and support. Due to continuous use, millions of people experience back pain, including low back or lumbar pain.
Back pain is also a common symptom after a traumatic accident, such as a sports-related accident or slip and fall. When the back is in pain, it can quickly take over our quality of life.
Common reasons for back pain include:
- Disc herniation or disc bulge
- Degernateive disc disease
- Low back sprain
- SI joint injury
- Sciatica
Headaches and migraines
If you suffer from headaches or migraines, chiropractic care may help. Dr. Skare will discuss your lifestyle, habits, triggers, and movement patterns before giving you a physical exam.
We will assess many aspects of your life and health and create a working plan to help minimize the frequency and serenity of your headaches.
Neck pain
Neck pain, stiffness, and motion loss can take various forms for various reasons. Our necks are almost always active. Even as we sit on the sofa to watch a movie, pressure is applied to the neck as it supports the head.
Add to that the growing use of handheld devices and gaming consoles, and neck injuries are becoming increasingly common. A chiropractic wellness plan can help heal neck injuries and provide valuable insight on how to care for them proactively.
Common conditions that cause neck pain include:
- Neck tissue sprain, strain, and inflammation
- Whiplash
- Text neck
- Cervical disc herniation
Shoulder pain
Shoulder pain and stiffness occur in both active and sedentary patients. Our shoulder joint has an impressive range of motion, allowing us to accomplish several activities. Everything from getting dressed to lifting your child to participating in your favorite exercise usually involves a healthy shoulder.
When shoulder pain occurs, slight movements can be challenging, and if not treated, the pain can spread into the neck and back.
Safe chiropractic techniques can help treat several injuries within the shoulder, including:
- Shoulder impingement
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Sprains, strains, and inflammation
- Frozen shoulder
Arm pain
Arm pain can manifest in different locations and with varying intensities. Whether it’s elbow pain or wrist pain radiating into the forearm, arm discomfort can make activities like working on your computer or sleeping difficult.
However, you can safely and naturally achieve relief and improved mobility with the right chiropractic treatment strategy.
Common injuries that contribute to arm pain and dysfunction include:
- Golfer's elbow
- Tennis elbow
- Bicep tendinopathy
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Wrist strain
Knee pain
Our knees are dynamic, load-bearing, and used for several daily activities, making them susceptible to injury. This is especially true for athletes such as runners and weightlifters.
Because most of us rely on highly functioning knees for several movements, it’s important to work with your local chiropractor as soon as you notice knee discomfort to ensure the injury doesn’t worsen.
Common conditions related to knee pain include:
- Knee strains
- Jumper’s knee
- Runner’s knee
- Inflammation
- Osteoarthritis
Foot pain and ankle pain
Foot pain, ankle pain, and Achilles pain are common among many people; however, some are at higher risk than others, including:
- Those involved in high-impact sports and exercise
- Those who stand for long hours
- Those who wear inappropriate footwear
Most of us depend on our feet regularly, putting pressure on the tissues and ankle joints even as we walk. When the foot is unable to function correctly, almost everything we do is jeopardized.
A holistic chiropractic assessment will explain why you have your symptoms and what condition is causing your discomfort.
Injuries and conditions related to foot and ankle pain include:
- Achilles injury
- Ankle sprains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin splints
- Disc injury, such as a herniated disc
Sports Injuries
Like athletes, sports injuries can range widely. They can be caused by a sudden accident, chronically using improper movement patterns or poor lifting techniques, or overuse of targeted areas.
Whether you play pickleball once a week or travel the globe to climb mountains, your body can use proactive and preventive chiropractic care to help you achieve your goals. The natural solutions can also help the body heal efficiently and safely.
Our Rochester sports chiropractic clinic has what you need to help the body recover and heal, minimizing downtime so you can get back to the activities you enjoy.
