Conditions Treated In Rockford IL

We treat a variety of conditions in our clinic with chiropractic adjustments. An adjustment is using the hands to apply a gentle force into a misaligned bone to correct that misalignment. Misalignments can impinge on nerves, which can cause pain and other dysfunction throughout the body. Correcting spinal subluxations can improve symptoms and create change that lasts. Similar to correcting the alignment on a car in order to prevent uneven wear and tear on the tires, aligning the spine will allow for proper function. Call our Rockford IL chiropractors today for relief.

Restoring proper motion to the head and neck, and removing the subluxation can improve headache symptoms.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a common disorder of the spine which can cause pain, postural problems, and breathing problems in severe cases. Chiropractors study techniques designed to prevent abnormal spinal curvatures from worsening, and in some cases can reverse abnormal curvatures. Our care is a vital in treating scoliosis since adjustments can relieve pressure on nerves and promote healthy curvatures. Chiropractic treatment for scoliosis may include taking x-rays of the affected areas, conducting a specific chiropractic analysis of the x-rays, and adjusting the involved areas accordingly.
