Of course it goes without saying that lower back pain is the major reason why anyone would go see a chiropractor in St. Louis; it must be noted however that ‘lower back pain’ is far too generic a term when it comes to the many causes for lower back pain and the determination of the types of treatments to control or eliminate it altogether.

Your back is one of the most complex parts of your body.  An area where nerves, discs, tendons, and bones all come together.

Migraine headaches typically involve intense throbbing and what is often described as a pulsing sensation on one side of the head. Many times a person with a migraine also experiences vomiting, nausea and they become extremely sensitive to sound and light.

Migraines can last for several hours to several days and can be quite incapacitating.  They are sometimes preceded by what are known as aura (sensory warning symptoms) such as light flashes, blind spots in your vision or a tingling sensation in your arms or legs.

Certain medications can reduce the severity and the frequency of migraine headaches. And when combined with consistent chiropractic care we’ve seen our St. Louis patients eliminate their migraines all together!  Click the button below if you are experiencing pain from migraines and headaches because we can help you!

The symptoms of sciatica usually occur because the large sciatic nerve gets compressed or irritated in what is known as the lumbar spine. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve that is found in the human body.

The pain from sciatica can vary greatly from person to person. For one person the affliction might just be infrequent and annoying while for another person the constant sharp pain can be incapacitating. Permanent nerve damage is rarely associated with sciatica pain.

The sciatica pain symptoms that each individual person experiences are often determined by where the sciatic nerve is pinched. Over the past 35+ years we’ve gained experience as St. Louis Chiropractors and learned how to target treatments based on the pain symptoms.

If you are injured in an automobile accident it is something you need to take very seriously and monitor closely if you are not already receiving medical attention for your injuries. Even if you don’t feel like you have been hurt you need to be aware that sometimes injuries received in crashes take a few days to show up because of the nature of them.

One of those injuries is whiplash; it is not uncommon for a whiplash injury to not show up until several days or weeks after the accident happened. So never assume automatically you have not been injured in a car accident just because you don’t have pain or other signs of an injury right away.

One of our core specialties is treating victims of car accidents.  We’ve worked with dozens of local personal injury attorneys and doctors to get to determine the severity of the injuries.  If you have even the slightest concern about pain from an accident, call us today to schedule a free consultation.

There are a lot of different terms used to describe disc injuries in the back. The terms “pinched nerve”, “herniated disc” and “bulging disc” are all used to describe this type of pain. It seems that even experts in the healthcare field have trouble deciding exactly what each of these terms mean and how to best describe them.

When you add the many different terms for disc problems in the back (torn disc, ruptured disc, slipped disc, disc disease, collapsed disc, disc protrusion) it only makes things more complicated.  Instead of worrying about exact definitions or terms it is best to describe a disc injury’s nature with an accurate medical diagnosis.

If you feel you might be suffering from a disc injury, go ahead and call us.  You can speak directly with one of our two top rated St. Louis chiropractors right away.  We’ll then setup a time to meet with you and determine the next best course of action.
