Specialties
Explore the range of conditions we address
Chronic neck and back pain
Chronic pain presents as dull aches or sharp discomfort that persists beyond the typical healing period, profoundly affecting quality of life. Key factors contributing to this include poor posture and repetitive strain from prolonged use of computers and smartphones. Additionally, injuries like whiplash and degenerative diseases further compromise the affected tissues.
Headache
Headaches arise from irritation of nerve endings in the head and neck, with various types and causes. Tension headaches feature dull pressure or tightness around the head and neck, often triggered by stress and poor posture. Migraines present as pulsating pain on one or both sides of the head, frequently accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
Motor vehicle accident injuries
Motor vehicle accidents can result in various injuries, with severity depending on the collision's seriousness. Common injuries include whiplash, a neck injury from sudden head movement; back injuries, such as herniated discs, sprains and strains; and emotional trauma, which encompasses anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other psychological effects.
Sport injuries
Sports injuries can affect individuals of all ages and fitness levels, from casual participants to professional athletes. Common injuries consist of strains, which damage muscles or tendons, and sprains, which involve torn ligaments. Activities that demand quick changes in direction, jumping, and physical contact frequently lead to these injuries. Furthermore, overuse injuries like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and runner's knee arise from repetitive motions without adequate rest.
Degenerative diseases
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease marked by the breakdown of cartilage. It commonly develops over time, primarily due to aging, but can also result from joint injuries, obesity, genetics, and repetitive stress. OA typically affects weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and spine, as well as the hands and fingers. Symptoms include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness (especially after inactivity), swelling, and reduced range of motion.
Frozen shoulder
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition marked by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint due to inflammation and thickening of the connective tissue surrounding it. Key symptoms include shoulder pain, limited mobility, and difficulty with daily activities, such as reaching overhead or behind the back. The pain can vary in intensity and may worsen at night. It can occur after an injury, surgery, or prolonged immobility.
Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick tissue band that connects the heel to the toes, leading to sharp heel pain, particularly in the morning or after inactivity. Contributing factors include overuse, high-impact activities, foot mechanics (such as flat feet), obesity, and age.
TMJ Dysfunction
Temporomandibular joint dysfunctions affect the joint connecting the jaw to the skull, causing pain and movement difficulties. Symptoms include jaw pain, clicking sounds, limited mouth opening, and headaches. Causes can include jaw injuries, teeth grinding, arthritis, and misalignment.
