Many people who visit our chiropractic clinic in Stoke on Trent are looking for treatment for back pain. Chiropractors are well equipped to handle back problems as they have a thorough understanding and expertise in assessing the function of joints, and in particular the joints of the spine.
But did you know that chiropractors can treat conditions affecting other joints? Chiropractors are specialists in assessing and restoring joint function. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuro-musculo-skeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, arms or legs pain, and headaches.
In this guide, our Stoke chiro will be sharing three common conditions our chiropractors can treat other than back pain.
3 Common Conditions Our Chiropractors Treat Other Than Back Pain
#1 Neck Pain
If you are dealing with chronic neck pain, visiting our Stoke chiropractors may be the most effective treatment option available. Our chiropractors are well versed in all conditions affecting the spine, including the cervical region (the neck).
When you first visit our chiropractic clinic in Stoke on Trent with neck pain, your chiropractor will perform a thorough evaluation of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine. This will help them determine if the issue you are experiencing is isolated to the cervical region or related to a problem affecting the entire spinal column.
They will also ask several questions about your pain, work situation, exercise routine, diet, mobility, posture, and habits. This thorough approach is required as chiropractors must take a holistic approach when diagnosing and treating patients. Your chiropractor may also look at the flexibility and mobility of your neck joints.
They can help you alleviate neck pain relating to several issues including:
- Muscle Strains
- Poor Posture
- Pinched nerves
- Osteoarthritis
- Whiplash
- Cervical Sprain Injuries
- Facet Joint Sprains
- Herniated Discs
They can use several techniques to address these problems including trigger point therapy, cervical mobilisation, cervical drop technique and manual joint adjustments.
“My son was involved in a car accident. Since that time he has had physiotherapy, which did help at the time but he never quiet felt that he had regained his full mobility back and always had a few creaks and cracks now and then. We decided to attend for an appointment at City Chiropractor and since a few weeks if intensive sessions, he is now even better than before the accident. His neck as realigned and he no longer has lower back pain or a he’s in his neck and shoulders. I always recommend this practice.” Jackie M (5-Star Google Review)
#2 Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the human body, with several components working together to facilitate movement. Unfortunately, this complexity increases the risk of injuries.
If you are currently dealing with mild to moderate shoulder pain, it’s advisable to visit a chiropractor early on. They will perform a detailed physical examination to identify postural issues, lifestyle factors, and injuries which may be affecting the joint.
They can then help you address your shoulder pain before it becomes severe and begins to affect your lifestyle. This is important as shoulder problems often worsen over time. Some of the shoulder conditions which respond well to chiropractic care include:
- Rotator cuff injury
- Sprains
- Frozen shoulder
- Tendonitis
- Strains
- Dislocated shoulder
- Bursitis
“What can i say about this place apart from both Dr. Mohamad Kammouh and front of house team are all amazing hence the 5 star rating.
i have been attending now since just before the first Locke down.
The issue i had was a very painful shoulder and after a consultation and action plan i started treatment , although a bit sceptical at first this soon disappeared and was replaced with a better way of life pain free and better posture making me feel better about my self.
They not only treat you for your main issue but also give advice on diet, health improvements and just general good feeling.
Any one who need this type of treatment and is hesitating or not sure were to go chose these guys , you will not go far wrong and from your first visit will be in the hands of people who are very professional friendly, and dedicated to making people better quickly along side having a personal touch when giving treatment. or greeting you at reception.
A MASSIVE THANKS TO Dr. Mohamad Kammouh and all the staff.” Philip R (5-Star Googel Review)
#3 Hip Pain
Our chiropractic clinic in Stoke On Trent treats many patients with hip pain each month. Contrary to popular opinion, hip pain isn’t a condition that just affects older people. We treat many young people and active sports people with issues affecting their hips.
Hip pain can be particularly frustrating to deal with as it can severely affect your mobility. It makes simple tasks like walking, riding a bike, and bending over very painful.
Fortunately, many causes of hip pain respond well to chiropractic treatments. These include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Bursitis
- Muscle strains
- Overuse injuries
- Tendonitis
Chiropractors can use a combination of treatment modalities to alleviate hip pain caused by these problems. This can include chiropractic adjustments, lifestyle and nutrition suggestions, exercise programs, stretches, and soft tissue therapy.
