Sciatica is a nerve pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. Patients often report pain in the lower back and down the back of their leg. Numbness, tingling or muscle weakness can also occur. Sciatica can be caused by a herniated disc, bone spurs or spinal stenosis which is a narrowing of the spine that can lead to compression of the nerve. Sciatica typically will affect one side of the body. Sneezing, coughing and straining are often extremely painful with sciatica. Our chiropractors are fully equipped to assess and address irritations of the sciatica nerve.

Shin splints are a common injury associated with running or other impact activities. The pain is typically along the inside of the shin or tibia which is amplified with impact. Several different factors can cause shin splints such as improper warm up or cool down, poor footwear, repetitive stress, flat feet or even a change in your workouts. There are many ways that shin splints can be successfully treated, including: Shockwave, Graston or Active Release. Restricting impact, stretching, foam rolling, proper footwear and ice are important during treatment to get you back to your activities as soon as possible.

Separated shoulders are an injury to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. AC joint injuries are most commonly caused by impact such as a fall directly onto the shoulder or a hard hit in hockey. Treatments for AC joints vary depending on the severity of the injury which can be determined through an assessment and possibly X-rays. It is important to treat all the tissues around the AC joint for a full recovery and return of full range of motion. Treatments such as Active Release, Graston and Shockwave are very beneficial for this type of injury. Kinesiotaping is another method our practitioners use to aid in recovery.

Temporomandibular dysfunction, or TMD can have multiple causes including: injury to the jaw, head or neck; grinding or clenching of the teeth; stress; arthritis or even a history of numerous dental procedures. TMD can cause jaw pain, clicking, popping or grinding in one or both sides of the jaw joints and muscles as well as locking of the jaw in an open or closed postion. Patients may also complain of their jaw muscles feeling tired, difficulty chewing or tinnitus. Graston is a very effective treatment to reduce tension in the associated muscles that may be contributing to the pain. Corrective exercises may need to be completed on a regular basis to help improve the function of the joint.
