Chiropractic adjustments feel so great, you might wish you could do them at home. You love the relaxed, limber feeling you get after an adjustment. Cracking your back felt so amazing, you want to feel like that every day!

You may think you understand how chiropractic adjustments work, so if you’re like most of our patients, this invariably turns into researching how to crack your back at home to get those same benefits on a daily basis.

“My spine is the reason my hand hurts?”

Learn more about referred pain and how chiropractic adjustments can help.

People are often surprised when they hear that chiropractors can treat more than just back pain. And while there is a lot more to adjustments than just “cracking backs,” chiropractors do put a lot of focus into the spine.

Why is that?

As it turns out, misaligned vertebrae in your spine can cause symptoms of pain and discomfort throughout your entire body. This is known as joined or referred pain and it’s a huge part of what makes chiropractic care so effective.

In this article, we’ll discuss what referred pain is and what causes it, plus the best way to treat it so you can get back to living pain-free!

Neck and back pain is nothing to be taken lightly.

Are you suffering from the sharp, shooting leg pain of sciatica?

Put down the Tylenol! A sciatica chiropractor can provide lasting relief.

Sciatica is—quite literally—a pain in the butt.

But rather than visiting your primary care physician (or, worse yet, suffering through it), seeking chiropractic treatment can not only alleviate your symptoms but also treat the underlying cause of your sciatica.

Unlike traditional medicine, chiropractic treatments encourage the body to heal itself. Chiropractors often use a combination of chiropractic adjustments and medical massage to effectively heal most sciatica patients without the use of drugs or surgery.
