Chiropractic Care Can Help These Featured Conditions in Downtown Dallas TX

BACK PAIN
Back pain can stem from a myriad of injuries, misalignments, and conditions. Due to the complex structure of the back, which must absorb stress while permitting movement, elements such as tendons, ligaments, discs, muscles, and bones can become irritated or damaged, resulting in pain. Severe trauma, like a car accident, or minor repetitive stress can cause significant damage, making it challenging to pinpoint a specific event that triggered the pain. Additionally, physical injury is not always the primary cause. At Expressions Chiropractic of Dallas PC, our experienced doctors use their extensive education to determine the correct diagnosis and direct you to the most appropriate care. Without an accurate diagnosis and treatment, even minor conditions can develop into serious, lifelong issues. While many causes of back pain exist, some are more common than others. Here are some frequent causes of lower back pain treated at Expressions Chiropractic of Dallas PC.

HEADACHE/MIGRAINE
Chiropractic care has proven effective in helping people with migraines. When the spine is aligned and pressure is removed from the nervous system, it can prevent migraine headaches. While many people know they should visit the dentist, they may not realize the importance of seeing a chiropractor. Dentists care for our teeth, but the spine and nervous system control everything in the body. For over a century, chiropractic care has provided relief from headaches and migraines. Chiropractors in Downtown Dallas TX understand the nervous system's critical role in the body. If the spine moves out of position, it can put pressure on surrounding nerves, leading to various problems, including headaches.

NECK PAIN
Effectively treating neck pain requires identifying the problem's location. Chiropractors in Downtown Dallas TX are trained to use various diagnostic tools to locate the source of neck pain, providing a significant advantage in treatment. The spine is a complex area with almost every systemic nerve running through it. Misaligned spine regions can cause muscles to spasm and tighten, a defense mechanism to protect the spine and spinal cord. Poor posture and repetitive motions with bad posture are common causes of spinal misalignments. Many people hope their neck pain will disappear over time, but without correction, the misalignment persists, potentially leading to more serious issues. In some cases, surgery may become necessary.

SCIATICA
Sciatica issues typically originate in the pelvic and lumbar spine areas, which are complex and challenging to diagnose. Our team works with you to identify the source of the problem and improve the spine and discs' position. Many patients experience severe pain from seemingly minor actions, like bending over to pick up a piece of paper, which is often the culmination of a condition developing over years. Spinal problems usually build up over time rather than occurring suddenly.

BULDGE/SLIPPED/HERNIATED DISC
A protruding disc means the gel is pushed out or bulging asymmetrically, potentially pinching and irritating nerve roots. A herniated disc occurs when disc material ruptures, pushing outward and causing pain and numbness due to nerve irritation. Disc extrusions, the most severe disc injuries, involve the gel ballooning extensively outside the vertebrae or breaking off from the disc, causing significant pain and limited range of motion. If you're suffering from a disc injury, call our team at Expressions Chiropractic of Dallas PC today. We are here to help.

WHIPLASH/AUTO ACCIDENTS
Whiplash injuries are serious and can have devastating consequences if left untreated. Many people don't realize they are injured until long after the accident, by which time their problems may have worsened significantly. Injuries are often more severe when the headrest is positioned too low, acting as an acceleration point during rear-end collisions. A 5 mph impact can cause the head to whip back at a much higher speed, resulting in greater injury. Chiropractic care has shown significant improvement in treating whiplash injuries, as documented in the Woodward study. Expressions Chiropractic of Dallas PC has experience helping individuals with whiplash symptoms. Call today to see if chiropractic care can help you.

CARPAL TUNNEL
The appropriate treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome largely depends on its underlying cause. Patients are advised to start with non-invasive and affordable treatments. While prescription medications, decompression surgeries, and physical therapy may provide short-term relief, symptoms often reappear without correcting nerve interference in the spine. Your chiropractor at Expressions Chiropractic of Dallas PC will evaluate your condition and formulate an individualized treatment plan. Following spinal corrections, many patients experience substantial improvements. If symptoms persist, wrist adjustments and therapies to surrounding tissues are considered. Contact Expressions Chiropractic of Dallas PC for more information or to schedule a consultation.

KNEE PAIN
Knee pain is a common complaint with many causes. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for directing appropriate treatment. Adjusting the hips and knees, along with addressing myofascialcomponents and inflammation, often helps significantly. If you have knee pain, visit us for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

SHOULDER PAIN
The most appropriate treatment for shoulder pain depends on its cause. Chiropractic care has proven effective for most shoulder conditions. Our chiropractors at Expressions Chiropractic of Dallas PC start with a spine evaluation, focusing on the neck region, where the muscles and structures controlling the shoulder joint originate. Misalignments in the spine can interfere with nerve communication, causing shoulder pain. If shoulder pain persists after spinal corrections, our doctors provide adjustments to the shoulder complex and additional therapies to ensure a fast recovery. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, effective treatment option for shoulder pain. Contact Expressions Chiropractic of Dallas PC to see if chiropractic care can help you.
