Conditions We Treat
Years at a desk, travel, old sports injuries, and just time itself all show up in the spine differently for adults. Here's how we approach the conditions we see most often — and how they tend to actually show up in daily life.
Years of desk work, travel, or old injuries compound quietly until a normal task — lifting a suitcase, standing up from the couch — triggers a flare-up. We look for the underlying misalignment driving the pattern, not just the moment it flared.
That sharp, radiating pain down the hip and leg is often worse after long car rides, flights, or a full day at a desk. It's a nerve compression issue at its root — addressing the spinal cause tends to relieve it more durably than stretching alone.
Frequent headaches often trace back to tension in the neck and upper spine — aggravated by hours at a screen, stress, or poor sleep posture. Correcting the alignment there can reduce both frequency and intensity.
Numbness, tingling, or a stiff neck that won't loosen up is frequently a postural issue that's built up over years at a laptop or phone. We identify exactly where the nerve is being compressed and correct it directly.
Restricted shoulder mobility shows up on the golf course, in the gym, or just reaching for something on a high shelf. Often it's connected to spinal alignment issues rather than the shoulder joint itself.
Disc-related changes tend to build gradually — often without a single clear injury to point to. Corrective care focuses on reducing pressure on the affected area and improving the posture that's accelerating the wear.
Numbness or pain radiating into the arms or legs is frequently connected to nerve compression higher up in the spine, not just the wrist or knee itself. We assess the full picture rather than treating the extremity in isolation.
Some cases of dizziness and vertigo are connected to misalignment in the upper cervical spine. If you've ruled out other causes with your physician, this is worth exploring as part of a full evaluation.
