“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!

There’s no window into the body…

…so how do chiropractors know where to adjust?

 

To a layperson, the human body seems like a mystery. All of your joints, muscles, ligaments, and organs are hidden under your skin. How could anybody possibly know what’s going on in there?

And yet, if you’ve ever been to a doctor, you already know that medical experts can diagnose and treat all sorts of conditions—including chiropractors.

But how do chiropractors know where to adjust?

Whether it’s your first trip or tenth, you’re probably still learning something new with each visit.

In this article, we’ll give you the rundown of what to expect at the chiropractor.

 

It’s normal to be curious or even to feel apprehension walking into your chiropractor appointment, especially if this is your first time. But the worst thing that could happen is to let your anxiety keep you from pursuing treatment.

The first thing you should know is that chiropractic care is “hands-on and drugs off.” This means we prefer to take a more natural approach and allow your body to heal itself. However, if you are also seeing another practitioner, chiropractic care can work in conjunction so that you reap the benefits of both treatment protocols.

In this article, we’ll let you know what to expect at the chiropractor so that you can get the most out of your experience. And for those who have been to the chiropractor before, we’ll give you an idea of what your first visit to Oviedo Chiropractic will be like.

Joint pain might be common, but that doesn’t make it normal.

Learn more about the best supplement for joint pain so you can get back to living pain-free.

 

When experiencing joint pain, most people turn to anti-inflammatories and other pain-relieving medications. However, supplements are just as beneficial and can offer both preventative and long-term relief.

By balancing levels of vitamins and minerals, our bodies can better protect and heal joint damage or inflammation. Plus, most supplements are available without a prescription and are generally safe for long-term use.

The best supplement for joint pain for you may depend on your individual needs, but there are four primary supplements to consider: vitamin D, collagen, omega-3s, and glucosamine chondroitin.
