Chiropractic care is a type of conservative, non-invasive treatment that helps to reduce pain and disability caused by many health conditions. Chiropractors focus on the diagnosis, management and prevention of spinal disorders in patients through manual manipulation of the spine.

Our chiropractic care specialties include: Sciatica The symptoms of sciatica vary depending on the cause, but it can sometimes result in a range of things including pain in the buttocks and lower back; pain down one or both legs; numbness of arms and hands. Herniated Discs Herniated discs are painful because they can compress or move tissue around in your back, causing pressure on nearby nerves. The discomfort will often be sharp and worsen when you try to walk, get up from a sitting position, cough or sneeze. Disc Bulges Disc bulges can also be a problem if they become too extreme. Because discs deteriorate with age, when they bulge out too much in the spine, this can cause pressure on nerve roots and also trigger pain. Scoliosis Scoliosis is a disease of the spine in which one or more segments grow to be longer than they should. Muscle Spasms Muscle spasms caused by the spinal cord or its peripheral roots can manifest as involuntary muscle contractions which are characteristic of an intense stress response. Neck & Back Pain Neck & Back Pain is a very serious issue that many people deal with. SportsMed has you covered! Whiplash Whiplash happens when the head is abruptly pulled back and then snaps forward. We have been providing patients with chiropractic care since 2004, treating a variety of issues from low back pain to sciatica. Our doctors are not only knowledgeable in the treatments they offer but also understand that a patient’s overall health requires much more than just chiropractic care alone. For this reason, we offer a number of other services as well such as massage therapy, physical therapy and rehabilitation programs which can be used in conjunction with chiropractic care to provide a more holistic modality of healing your injuries and reducing your pain.
