Chiropractic care isn’t just about cracking backs—it’s a proven approach to treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, relieving chronic pain, and improving overall function. At Restore Wellness Center in Melbourne, FL, our experienced team uses evidence-based chiropractic techniques to address a variety of health concerns. In this guide, we’ll break down 10 of the most common conditions chiropractors help treat and explain how chiropractic adjustments, decompression, and adjunctive therapies work to support healing.
1. Chronic Lower Back Pain Lower back pain is one of the top reasons people seek chiropractic care. Whether caused by poor posture, a sedentary lifestyle, injury, or disc degeneration, chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, relieve pressure on nerves, and reduce inflammation.
Treatment Options at Restore Wellness Center:
- Spinal adjustments
- Lumbar decompression therapy
- Red light therapy
- Core strengthening advice
2. Sciatica Sciatica refers to pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, often caused by a herniated disc or spinal misalignment. Chiropractic care helps alleviate nerve compression to reduce pain, numbness, and tingling.
Restore Wellness Approach:
- Flexion-distraction therapy
- Targeted spinal decompression
- Posture education and ergonomic recommendations
3. Neck Pain and Whiplash Common after car accidents or prolonged desk work, neck pain and whiplash injuries respond well to manual chiropractic care.
Treatments Include:
- Cervical adjustments
- Gentle mobilization techniques
- Soft tissue therapy
4. Headaches and Migraines Tension headaches and migraines can stem from spinal misalignment and muscle tension. Chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and severity of these headaches.
Treatment Includes:
- Upper cervical adjustments
- Lifestyle and dietary counseling
