HEADACHES

Headaches plague every American and is a main complaint of many of our patients, weather the pain be a dull ache, sharp pain or throbbing sensation Cervical Adjustments have proven to be helpful. Did you know that the pain you are feeling is not even coming from your brain in the first place? Your brain cannot feel pain, it is the stretching, compressing, irritation, inflammation or infection of blood vessels, membranes and cranial nerves that produce the ache. Chiropractic studies have shown a 36% decrease of painkillers taken by patients who experience regular headaches as well as a 96% decrease in their number of headache hours in a day simply by receiving regular adjustments.

SCIATICA

Sciatica is the sensation of pain that navigates through the sciatic nerve from your lower back to your hips and buttock with the capability to reach down your leg as well. Disk herniation or a bone spur compressing part of the nerve are the two most common causes of sciatica pain and physical manipulation of the spine is the safest non-invasive way to best remedy discomfort.

Neck and Back Pain plague the majority of American’s each year in either chronic or acute cases. Subluxation of the spine weather it be Cervical (Neck), Thoracic (Mid-Back) or Lumbar (Low-Back) can lead to a number of pain and organ related issues. Your spine is the housing unit of every nerve in your body and any subluxation can lead to pressure at the base of your nerves, cutting off contact and sometimes causing pain. Your brain sends messages to every part of your body via nerve endings. Pinching a nerve disrupts the flow of information which can lead to a number of organ malfunctions as well as discomfort in the form of pain. Chiropractic studies have shown that manual adjustments like those used at Barnard Chiropractic have lead to 94% of patients experiencing approximately 30% pain reduction.
