When to See a Chiropractor

The best time to see a chiropractor is before it starts to hurt. Many injuries and degenerative conditions can be reduced or avoided by taking good chiropractic care of your general health. Certainly, if you are experiencing neck pain, back pain, or pain in the joints, a chiropractic visit is warranted. See a chiropractor at Dirks Chiropractic if you have symptoms such as frequent headaches, muscle cramps, nerve pain, and loss of feeling in your hands, fingers, feet, or toes. Dirks Chiropractic serves the communities of Greenville, Washington, and Williamston in North Carolina.

Chiropractic Treatment for Sports Injuries

Common injuries from playing sports include tendonitis (tennis elbow), sprains, torn ligaments, sciatica, and others. Getting proper treatment from your chiropractor helps reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and promotes fast healing from sports injuries.

Chiropractic Treatment for Vehicular Accidents

If you are involved in an auto accident, it is important to see a chiropractor. If you are hit from behind you may suffer from whiplash that may cause neck and back problems. If you hit something, and suddenly stop, your spine extends even if you are wearing a seatbelt. Then, it rapidly compresses back to normal shape. This may cause injuries that do not show up immediately after the accident. You may only start to feel pain after a few weeks.

Chiropractic Treatment for Work Injuries

If you sit for many hours at work, especially if you are using a computer all day and hunch over the keyboard, you may have a bad posture. This may cause back and neck problems. Repetitive injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, which causes the wrists and hands to ache, are caused by work methods.

Your chiropractor can give you an adjustment and evaluate your posture as well as making suggestions on how you can improve your posture.

Proactive Chiropractic Treatment

As part of your holistic health care strategy, having regular chiropractic checkups can help you maintain good health, especially if you have an active lifestyle. Many people find it beneficial to get regular adjustments by their chiropractor. The aches they might experience if they leave their spine out of alignment can be avoided. There is also less chance of suffering more serious or permanent damage if you visit your chiropractor regularly.
