Conditions we treat

A list of the most common conditions we work with. Each page covers what's actually going on, when to see someone, and how we approach treatment. If your situation isn't on this list, that doesn't mean we can't help. Give us a call or book online and we'll let you know if it's something we work with or if you'd be better served by another provider.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve at the wrist, producing numbness and tingling in the thumb, index and middle fingers that classically wakes people at night. Mild and moderate cases often respond well to conservative care.

Disc Herniation

A disc herniation is when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its outer wall and irritates nearby tissue, often a nerve root. Most settle with conservative care rather than surgery, and the timeline is usually weeks to months rather than days.

Headaches & Migraines

Many headaches have a musculoskeletal driver: tight neck and upper-back muscles, restricted joints in the cervical spine, or postural patterns that build tension over the day. Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches usually respond well to a combination of hands-on care and targeted exercise.

Hip Pain

Hip pain covers several distinct problems that feel similar from the outside, from tendon irritation on the outer hip to joint restriction at the front and referred pain from the low back. Sorting out which one you have is most of the work, because the treatments differ.

Knee Pain

Most knee pain in active people is biomechanical, driven by how load is passing through the hip, knee, and foot together. Treating the knee in isolation rarely works; addressing the whole chain almost always does.

Low Back Pain

Most low back pain is mechanical, meaning it comes from how the joints, muscles, and nerves in the lower back are moving and loading. The good news: most cases respond well to a combination of hands-on care, targeted exercise, and a few smart adjustments to daily activity.

Neck Pain

Most neck pain is mechanical, driven by how the joints, muscles, and nerves in the neck and upper back are moving and loading. Sustained postures, stress, and old injuries are the most common contributors, and the right combination of hands-on care and targeted exercise resolves most cases.

Pinched Nerve, Numbness and Tingling

A pinched nerve is irritation or compression of a nerve somewhere along its path, producing numbness, tingling, burning or weakness away from the actual problem. The pattern of symptoms usually tells us where the nerve is being irritated, which is what determines treatment.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is pain at the underside of the heel where the plantar fascia attaches, classically worst with the first steps in the morning. It is a loading problem more than an inflammation problem, and it responds to progressive loading, soft-tissue work and footwear changes.

Postpartum Recovery

Postpartum recovery isn't a single timeline. It's a long arc with several distinct phases. Chiropractic and massage therapy can help with the musculoskeletal piece: pelvic and SI joint pain, the upper-body strain of feeding and carrying, and the gradual return to activity.

Repetitive Strain Injuries

Repetitive strain injuries develop when a tissue is loaded the same way, day after day, faster than it can adapt. Most respond well to a combination of hands-on care and progressive loading, but the lasting fix usually requires changing the underlying movement, posture, or workload pattern.

Sciatica

Sciatica is pain that radiates down the back of the leg along the path of the sciatic nerve, usually from irritation of a nerve root in the lower back or compression of the sciatic nerve itself. Most cases are mechanical and respond well to conservative care.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain almost always involves more than just the shoulder. The rotator cuff, the shoulder blade, the upper back, and the neck all contribute to how the shoulder moves, and the right treatment usually has to address several of those layers.

Sports Injuries

Most sport-related injuries are mechanical, a load the tissue wasn't ready for, a movement pattern that produced repeated stress, or a missed warning sign that turned into a bigger problem. The right care addresses both the acute injury and the capacity gap that let it happen.

Vertigo and Dizziness

Dizziness is a symptom with many possible sources, and the useful first step is working out which kind you have. The two we commonly help with are positional vertigo from the inner ear and dizziness driven by the neck, often after a concussion or whiplash.

Learn more →

Whiplash

Whiplash is the soft-tissue injury to the neck and surrounding structures that follows a sudden acceleration-deceleration force, most commonly from a motor vehicle accident. Early, structured care during the first 12 weeks dramatically improves outcomes.
