Chiropractic care is known to benefit the body and mind in so many ways. Dr. Gena Chiropractic, your favorite family chiropractor in Plantation, offers treatment/care for various situations, such as general health and wellness, pregnancy and post-pregnancy (perinatal care), pediatric care, sports injuries, automobile accidents, and pretty much any ailment or condition that is hindering your lifestyle. You should not have to wake up each and every morning and suffer from chronic pain and discomfort. While chiropractic care does not treat the problem, it works to remove nerve system interference to allow the body to heal, feel and function better, and adapt on its own much more successfully.

The general reason for receiving chiropractic care is essentially to sustain proper function within the nervous system, which often helps you get rid of pain, improve the body’s range of movement. There is no surgery involved, no prescription medications needed, and no numbing or anaesthetics required. Chiropractors use special techniques to adjust the body in ways that can help align and correct the spine, the joints, and other aspects of the nervous system. Proper alignment is the first step to overall wellness, and a major part of healing the body from the inside out.

Although many patients seek out chiropractic care for ongoing maintenance or wellness care, there are some very common ailments that chiropractic care can help with. 

Here are five conditions that chiropractors tend to see patients for most often:

• Headaches: We treat people with various types of headaches including tension headaches, migraines and cluster headaches, all of which can severely affect someone’s daily life. Many headaches occur because of misalignments in the neck (subluxations), which results in extra pressure on the nerves. Chiropractic care helps to relax the neck muscles and relieve that pressure.

• Sciatica: If you experience pain radiating from the lower part of the spine to your buttock and down the back of your leg, you are most likely experiencing Sciatica. You may also experience numbness, tingling or muscle weakness in the leg affected. Chiropractic care is said to be one of the most effective ways to help relieve the pain and discomfort associated with Sciatica, combined with stretching and deep tissue massage.

• Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain: This type of pain is probably the most common complaint we hear from patients. Pain comes from all sources… Exercising, carrying a heavy purse on one side for too long, lifting something that is too heavy, poor posture, sitting at a desk all day for work, etc. Chiropractic care, plus a good stretching regimen, can help alleviate the problem over time.

• Allergies: You might not be aware of this, but many allergic reactions are caused by a hypersensitivity of the immune system. The immune and respiratory systems both require dependable communication from the brain and spinal cord in order to function properly. Simply put, if you neck is misaligned, it could cause an imbalance in the nervous system and affect the immune and respiratory system, triggering allergic reactions. Chiropractic care can help correct that misalignment.

• Pediatric Ailments: Our team has extra training in and a passion for pediatric care. We LOVE babies and kids! If your infant or young child is suffering from colic, constipation, Torticollis, latching issues (for both bottle and breast) or frequent ear infections, chiropractic care can help.
