Conditions Treated at Johnson Ranch Chiropractic

Carpal Tunnel

Every day, assembly line workers, keyboard operators, grocery clerks and many others, receive micro-traumas to their hands and wrists. Vibration and repetitive motions, when combined with spinal problems and other joint dysfunction, can result in a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Symptoms may include pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or a loss of strength in the hands

Work Injures

Hurt on the job? You’re not alone – millions of people are suffering from all types of job injuries ranging from the stress of working in a bad position to improper lifting or carrying to falls and other trauma. Among the most common on-the-job injuries is spinal injury. That’s one of the reasons why 85% of the population will experience disabling low back pain at least once during their lives! That’s almost all of us.

Extremities

When joint function is impaired, there is reduced range of motion inflammation, calcium buildup, and scar tissue. This can be caused from repetitive motions, improper sitting, overexertion, slips, falls, accidents, and other causes. Awareness of these types of problems has become more common with terms like ‘tennis elbow”, “runner’s knee”, “frozen shoulder”, and “carpal tunnel syndrome”. Joint mobilization, like chiropractic care for the spine, is being used in the care of elbows, wrists, and other joints of the body. Adjustment of the extremities seems to improve blood circulation, reduce scar tissue, and speed the healing process

Disc Problems

Since spinal discs have a very poor blood supply, they also depend upon the circulation of joint fluids to bring in the nutrients and expel waste. If a spinal joint loses its normal motion and this pumping action is impaired, the health of the disc deteriorates. Because of the way each disc is attached to the vertebra above and below it, a disc cannot “slip” as commonly thought. However, trauma or injury to the spine can cause discs to bulge, herniated, or worse, rupture. The chiropractic approach to disc problems is to help restore better motion and position to the spinal joints. Besides reducing disc bulging, better spinal function helps decrease inflammation so the slow process of healing the surrounding soft tissue can begin. While results cannot be guaranteed, many patients have avoided needless surgery or a dependency on pain pills by choosing conservative chiropractic care.

Lower Back

One of the many causes of lower back pain can be a bulging or herniated disc putting pressure on the spinal cord or a nearby nerve root. The result is often numbness, tingling, or pain down the leg.

Neck Pain

Some considerations that are used to create a plan of specific chiropractic adjustment to help improve the motion and position of spinal vertebrae include: Is the proper spinal curve present? Are the nerve openings between each pair of spinal bones free and clear? Is the head balanced? Are the shoulders level? Some of the underlining symptoms that are the first to appear are – HEADACHES!
