Shoulder Pain

-

Chiropractic care is typically sought out by people seeking relief from neck or back pain.  The staff at Elevate Life Chiropractic and Wellness is also skilled in treating extremities like the knees, elbows, and the shoulders. The shoulder joint is the body’s most mobile joint. It is surrounded by nerves, tendons, bursa, and other tissues which can all experience irritation and cause pain. This complex structure means that shoulder pain can have many causes and may require your chiropractor to assess your overall health and condition to target the root of the problem. 


Whether pain began after an injury or has increased over time, chiropractic treatment is a safe and effective way to treat damage to both hard and soft tissue.  When shoulder pain is caused by joint irritation, relief can often be achieved through an adjustment.  Pain in the muscles can be addressed by massage or stimulation therapy, and your chiropractor will recommend exercise and stretches if needed.  If you are suffering from pain in the shoulder don’t wait any longer to come see us!

Spinal Anatomy

-
We strive at Elevate Life Chiropractic and Wellness to help our patients adopt a “health care model” instead of a “sick care model.” In order to do that, it is necessary for people to have a basic understanding of how their bodies work. Different parts of the back are vulnerable to different problems, so we want to explain what makes up the backbone. The backbone is actually dozens of separate bones, called vertebrae. Most of them are separated by spongy discs that absorb shock. In back, they have protruding bony arches. The spinal cord, which transmits messages between the brain and the rest of the body, travels through the canal made by these arches, and they are linked together by joints. The neck bones are made up of seven vertebrae called the cervical vertebrae. The atlas is the topmost one and the axis is right beneath it, without any disc between. The upper back is made up of the twelve thoracic vertebrae, which the ribs connect to. The lower back is made up of the seven lumbar

Neck Pain Relief

-
The neck has a tough job, as it supports the weight of the head which weighs about 10lbs. If you’re someone who spends too much time on the phone, the neck may become stiff, and if the head is tilted, you are putting more than 10lbs of pressure on your shoulders. The cervical spine is composed of vertebrae that begin in the upper torso and end at the base of the skull. For many people, neck pain will heal with time. If you can’t find relief, seek help from Dr. Paul Hoyal at Elevate Life Chiropractic and Wellness. Neck pain may result from abnormalities in the soft tissues – the muscles, ligaments, nerves – as well as in the bones and discs of the spine. The most common causes of neck pain are due to wear and tear and may cause aches in the upper back, shoulders, or arms. If you experience weakness or numbness in the arms or legs, seek treatment immediately. Dr. Paul Hoyal will develop an individualized treatment plan depending on the cause. If you have questions or concerns regarding n

Common Types of Headaches

-
A headache can ruin our entire day and make it difficult to perform our daily tasks. There are over 100 different types of headaches, but the three most common are migraines, tension headaches, and sinus headaches. Certain types of headaches have their own unique symptoms and are caused by different environmental or psychological factors. Fortunately, Dr. Paul Hoyal at Elevate Life Chiropractic and Wellness can alleviate pain caused by headaches. The greatest majority of common headaches have triggers, such as foods, noises, lights, stress, and other physical problems. Research shows that spinal manipulation – one of the primary treatments provided by chiropractors– may be an effective treatment option for tension headaches and headaches that originate in the neck. Spinal manipulation and/or chiropractic adjustments will improve spinal function and alleviate stress on the musculoskeletal system. If you have questions or concerns regarding chiropractic treatment for headaches, please gi
