Can a chiropractor adjust more than my back?

Chiropractors are well known for their treatment of back pain, but that’s not their only specialty. Get the most out of your experience when visiting a “chiropractor near me” - bring up shoulder, jaw, knee, or hip pain. Since the spine is a central pathway in the body, when aligned properly it can ease pain in other areas of the body, but if that’s not cutting it - Dr. Mark Vellan or Dr. Lisa Prusinski are able to manipulate other joints.

What else can chiropractors work on?

Along with back pain relief, chiropractors can help with the:

1. Neck

   1. This one may be obvious to you, but adjusting the neck and aligning the spine can help get rid of tension or migraine headaches and whiplash injuries.

2. Shoulders  

   1. If your shoulder has felt stiff and frozen lately, a chiropractor can help stretch it out and regain it’s mobility.

3. Knees

   1. You may need more than exercises to save your knees, a chiropractor can assist in treating sprains, strains, and pain from everyday wear and tear.

4. Jaw

   1. Chiropractors can help with TMJ - they can properly reposition the jaw, ease trigger points, and relax facial muscles.  

5. Hips

   1. Strains in the hip can lead to back pain. Dr. Mark Vellan or Dr. Lisa Prusinski will provide exercises to loosen that area up and adjust it as needed.

Adjustments aren’t the only way to get rid of discomfort or pain at a chiropractor. There are therapies, exercises, stretches, and more!
