Understanding Chronic Pain

_______________________________________________________________________

JOINT PROBLEMS

Normal healthy joints should have fluid, free motion and be able to move smoothly against each other, like ice gliding on ice. Dysfunctional joints often move like a rusty old hinge that needs a shot of WD-40 oil. When this happens, it sets the stage for arthritis, degenerative joint disease and chronic pain.

At Indiana Spine Center Familiy Chiropractic, we're able to free stuck joints and restore proper joint motion through the use of specific chiropractic corrections called adjustments.

MUSCLE PROBLEMS

Muscles that are under constant stress go into spasm, or develop trigger points which are extremely painful spasms that can cause referred pain to travel up into your head, into your arm or down your leg.

We fix these problems through a combination of acupressure therapy, stretches and specific exercises. If you're suffering with muscle spasms, Indiana Spine Center Family Chiropractic is your first stop on your road to recovery.

NERVE PROBLEMS

Nerves that are pinched, choked, stretched or chaffed can cause pain, numbness, tingling and other abnormal sensations.

We correct these types of nerve problems by re-aligning the spine through the use of safe, gentle and very specific corrections to the spine and extremities. These adjustments take the pressure off the nerves, allowing them to calm down and feel better. Don't let back pain get on your nerves! If you're hurting, give us a call now and see what we can do to help you!

POSTURE PROBLEMS

Common abnormal postures include forward head posture, and rotations and tilting in the pelvis, thorax and head. Abnormal posture causes fatigue, abnormal loading on the joints, discs, muscles and other connective tissues.

Unfortunately, posture problems aren't self-correctable. You can't fix your own posture any more than you can fix a front end alignment problem in your car by the way you drive. But no worries because we're able to correct abnormal postures - even stubborn ones such as forward head posture, a high shoulder or pelvic unbalancing. Our methods include global postural corrections coupled with exercises to strengthen and stabilize the supportive soft tissues (the muscles & ligaments which hold the spine together). You'll feel better and look better too!

INFLAMMATION

Inflammation has been linked to practically every disease process. It is also linked to chronic pain syndromes. Inflammation occurs in the body due to chemical imbalances, over consumption of sugar, inadequate intake of omega 3 fatty acids, nutritional deficiencies, and other such problems.

The primary way we address inflammation is by helping you to modify your diet and also by prescribing specific nutritional supplements that help "put the fire out" and get things calmed down. You're going to love the way you feel afterward!
