When Should I go see a chiropractor?

Seeing a Chiropractor can be helpful for a variety of musculoskeletal issues, especially those involving the spine, joints, and muscles. Here are some situations where it might make sense to see a chiropractor:

Here are some Common Reasons to See a Chiropractor

1. Back Pain (Upper, Middle, or Lower)
   • Chronic or acute pain
   • Pain from lifting or sitting too long
2. Neck Pain or Stiffness
   • Difficulty turning your head
   • Pain from poor posture, tech use, or whiplash
3. Headaches or Migraines - Especially if they're tension-related or stem from neck misalignment.
4. Joint Pain or Dysfunction - In shoulders, knees, hips, elbows, or wrists (especially if not injury-related).
5. Sciatica - Shooting pain down the leg due to nerve compression.
6. Poor Posture - Especially from prolonged desk work or tech use.
7. Limited Range of Motion - If you notice you can’t move as freely in your back, neck, arms, or legs.
8. Sports or Work-Related Injuries - Especially if soft tissue or alignment is involved.
9. Spinal Misalignment or Subluxations - Chiropractors specialize in detecting and correcting these.
10. Preventative or Maintenance Care - For those who want to maintain spinal health and posture.

Chiropractors aim to reduce pain and improve the function of patients, often working to educate them on how to improve their health through exercise, ergonomics, and other therapies. Always consult with your primary care provider if you have underlying conditions or medical emergencies.
