Back Pain Relief Treatment: Macomb Chiropractic Clinic

Back pain affects 80% of Americans at some point in their lives. You may suffer from lower back pain, middle back pain, or upper back pain. The pain may also radiate down the legs or into the buttock. Do not continue to suffer with back pain.

There are many factors that may cause back pain such as improper sitting or lifting, over exertion, muscle strains, accidents, work injuries, and sports injuries. No matter what causes back pain the symptoms are usually the same. Symptoms of back pain include persistent aching or stiffness anywhere along the spine, sharp, stabbing pain in one area of the back, pain that radiates through the buttock and down the legs, or severe muscle spasms. These painful symptoms are often treated with pain medication. This form of treatment may temporarily relieve the pain but it does not correct the underlying problem that is causing back pain. Also, pain medications have many serious, harmful side effects. If you are experiencing numbness or tingling in your arms or legs, or if the pain increases when you cough or bend at the waist call your chiropractor immediately. Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles, and connective tissues that make up 60% of your body. Studies show that chiropractic treatment is safer and more effective than the use of pain medication or back surgery. About 22 million Americans visit chiropractors annually and of these, 7.7 million are seeking relief from some form of back pain. Simple tests can determine if your back pain is a chiropractic condition. Tests include medical history, physical examination, diagnostic testing, and x-rays. The chiropractic approach to back pain is to help restore a normal motion and position of affected spinal bones through the use of hands-on spinal manipulation. Dr. McNeil uses specific postural adjustments, postural exercises, and postural traction to relieve pain and help others maintain a healthy spinal position. Heat, ice, and massage therapies are also used to help patients suffering from back pain. Dr. McNeil has helped many people suffering from back pain avoid surgery and achieve relief without the use of pain medications. If you are suffering from back pain or neck pain, headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, disc problems, or have been injured in an auto accident please contact Dr. McNeil to see how chiropractic care can help you.

Neck & Shoulder Pain Chiropractic Treatment Macomb, Shelby, Clinton Township

Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles, and connective tissues that make up about 60% of your body. Neck and shoulder pain is a common complaint that many people suffer with that can be corrected with chiropractic care

Is it hard to look over your shoulder? Is there a constant pulling or throbbing pain in your neck? Is it difficult to turn your head from side to side? If so, you are one of the many people suffering from chronic neck pain. Most people suffering from neck pain treat their painful symptoms by taking pain killers and other drugs to cover up the problem. This harmful method of treatment does not treat the underlying cause of neck pain. The painful symptoms associated with neck pain can be the result of many conditions, such as whiplash injury, forward head posture, frozen shoulder, pinched nerves, disc bulges, arthritis, degenerative disc disease and much more.
Another common problem that is related to neck pain, which many people suffer from is shoulder pain. The shoulder is the most movable joint and the most unstable joint in the body. Common problems include sprains, strains, dislocations, tendonitis, bursitis, torn rotator cuffs, fractures, and arthritis. The most common cause of shoulder and neck pain is damage to the soft tissue including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. A thorough chiropractic examination can determine the cause of neck and shoulder pain that way an appropriate treatment plan can be implemented.
McNeil Chiropractic's approach to neck pain and shoulder pain is to locate the underlying cause and correct it by using specific chiropractic postural adjustments, postural traction and postural exercises. Dr. McNeil can determine if a spinal misalignment or improper spinal curve is the cause of neck and shoulder pain. Chiropractic adjustments, postural exercises, postural traction, and ice and heat therapy will help improve the motion, position, and function the spine. With improved structure and function, neck and shoulder pain often diminishes or disappears completely without the harmful side effects from addictive drugs. Dr. McNeil has helped many patients with chronic neck and shoulder pain.
