Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic Care Practically Mainstream

More than 30 million people in the U.S. visited chiropractors last year to address a variety of health issues, including back pain and other problems with muscles, joints and bones, according to the American Chiropractic Association. In a 2002 national survey, 40 percent of patients receiving chiropractic care complained of back or lower-back problems. Other conditions often treated by chiropractors include neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, repetitive strains and even arthritis.

Are your aches and pains pregnancy-related? Pain in the lower and upper back and neck regions are common during pregnancy as a woman's weight and posture changes. In the last decade, may chiropractors have expanded their practices to include services for women during and after pregnancy - when your body has to accommodate lifting and toting an infant.
