X-Rays
Chiropractic radiology is a tool utilized in care as a diagnostic practice to rule out pathology and/or an additional aid to determine where to adjust the spine.
Physiotherapy
It is important to understand that often times where the pain presents is not the area that needs to be treated.
Comprehensive Care for Auto Injuries
Even a “minor” crash can result in serious injuries like ligament sprains. This can lead to chronic pain and disability if not treated properly. In fact, research shows that early treatment is the best way to prevent long-term symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments are effective because they help restore the healthy, normal function of your nervous system without the use of drugs or surgery.
Pain Management
Chiropractors play a crucial role in pain management by addressing the root causes of discomfort, rather than just masking symptoms. At Align Med, we focus on natural, non-invasive treatments that help alleviate pain from auto injuries, musculoskeletal issues, and everyday strains. Chiropractic care emphasizes the connection between the spine and the nervous system, aiming to restore proper alignment, which promotes the body’s ability to heal itself. By adjusting misalignments in the spine, chiropractors relieve pressure on nerves and muscles, reducing pain and inflammation, and improving mobility.
Whiplash
According to the American Chiropractic Association, one of the most common causes of neck pain is whiplash resulting from a car accident. A sudden forced movement of the head or neck in any direction and the resulting “rebound” in the opposite direction is known as whiplash. The sudden “whipping” motion injures the surrounding and supporting tissues of the neck and head. Muscles react by tightening and contracting, creating muscle fatigue, which can result in pain and stiffness. Severe whiplash can also be associated with injury to the intervertebral joints, discs, ligaments, muscles, and nerve roots.
Neck Pain
The neck, also called the cervical spine, begins at the base of the skull and contains seven small vertebrae. The cervical spine supports the full weight of your head which is on average about 12 pounds. While the cervical spine can move your head in nearly every direction, this flexibility makes the neck very susceptible to pain and injury.
Back Pain
Since back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, it is vital to know how to prevent the cause of back pain. By maintaining a healthy diet and weight, remaining active and avoiding prolonged inactivity or bed rest are all important ways to avoid back pain. Before doing exercises or any physical activity, it is recommended to warm up and/or stretch.
Knee Pain
As highlighted by the American Chiropractic Association, whiplash from car accidents stands as one of the leading causes of neck pain. This condition occurs when the head or neck is abruptly jerked in one direction, only to be rapidly snapped back in the opposite direction. This sudden “whipping” action inflicts damage on the tissues that support and surround the neck and head. In response, muscles tighten and contract, leading to muscle fatigue and subsequent pain and stiffness. In more severe cases, whiplash can harm the intervertebral joints, discs, ligaments, muscles, and nerve roots.
