What We Treat
How We Can Help
Chiropractic care can help with many common conditions such as the following:
-
Sciatica
According to a 2014 study of 192 people that had associated leg pain with back pain, participants who received spinal manipulation, personal instruction, and exercises had less pain after 12 weeks and used less medication a year later than participants who received only personal instruction and exercises.
-
Headaches
Oftentimes, extra stress, as well as tension developed through the cervical spine (neck), can cause headaches. An adjustment to this area of your spine can help reduce the previously mentioned tension as well as ease neural tension, which may help with the frequency, duration, and intensity of headaches.
-
Carpal Tunnel
With carpal tunnel syndrome, the median nerve can become entrapped causing debilitating pain and discomfort. It can also become entrapped at the pronator teres muscle as well at the anterior interosseous. Dr. Douglas, utilizing his extremity adjusting and Sports Medicine knowledge, can help find where this entrapment may be.
-
Performance and Longevity
Every time an athlete or patient is injured, there is usually an underlying cause leading to such injury or increasing the risk of injury. Dr. Douglas can help reduce the risk of injury by identifying these underlying causes.
-
Low Back Pain
In the American College of Physicians (ACP) clinical guidelines, the ACP suggests that spinal manipulation is a therapeutic option that may help people with acute or chronic low-back pain
-
Scoliosis
With chiropractic care, studies have shown a marked improvement in both pain, curvature, as well as disability rating in patients with scoliosis. Dr. Douglas can develop a non-invasive approach to treatment.
