Migraine Headaches
A common cause of headaches is from spinal bones in the neck that aren’t supporting the head properly. You might not notice your reduced ability to turn your head, but these subluxations affect nerves, muscles and even the blood supply to your head. Subluxations can often be the result of stress and bad posture which is why so many Americans who work at a desk all day report suffering from them. A subluxation is when one or more of the spinal bones is misaligned into an abnormal position causing irritation to the nerve structure and interference with the flow of nerve energy throughout the body.
Pregnancy and Pediatric Chiropractic
Dr. Dale Smith and Dr. Carol Wright-Smith of Smith Chiropractic offer chiropractic care for expecting mothers. When your body goes through the various stages and trials of pregnancy and labor, your spine is subjected to extreme amounts of stress. After all, it has to constantly adjust itself to bear the growing weight of another person over a short time frame of just nine months. The center of gravity shifts forward and substantial weight gain adds stress to the spine of the expecting mother. This stress frequently causes lower back pain, headaches and migraines, nausea, insomnia, and other symptoms that can wreak havoc on your quality of life.
Misalignments or subluxations put pressure on the delicate spinal nerves and interfere with the body’s ability to coordinate and control all phases of growth and development. Chiropractic for infants and children can help correct these potential problems through careful yet effective adjustments to remedy misalignments as they are identified.
Sciatica Therapy
Sciatica is an irritation of the sciatic nerve which is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It extends from the lower back all the way to the toes. Common symptoms of patients with sciatica range from pain in one or more of the buttock regions to excruciating pain all the way down the back of the leg to the foot. Additional symptoms may include numbness, weakness, burning sensations or what is often described as a feeling in the extremities that is either “odd” or “different”.
