Many people think chiropractic care is only for someone with severe back pain. In reality, people of many different ages, lifestyles, and activity levels may benefit from chiropractic care.
Whether you sit at a desk all day, play sports, work a physically demanding job, or simply want to stay active as you get older, your spine and joints play an important role in how you move and feel.
At Disc Wellness Chiropractic in Rocklin, CA, we work with patients to identify what may be contributing to their pain, stiffness, or movement problems and create an individualized treatment plan.
Office Workers
Sitting at a computer for hours can place stress on the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Looking down at phones and laptops can also contribute to muscle tension and stiffness.
Chiropractic care, mobility work, and therapeutic exercises may help office workers improve movement and manage common problems such as neck pain, back pain, headaches, and postural discomfort.
Athletes
You don’t have to be injured to see a chiropractor.
Athletes place repeated stress on their muscles and joints through running, lifting, jumping, throwing, and other movements. Chiropractic care may help improve joint mobility, address stiffness, and support comfortable movement.
Combining chiropractic care with mobility and strengthening exercises can also help athletes work toward returning to the activities they enjoy.
Active Adults
Working out, golfing, hiking, cycling, playing recreational sports, or simply staying busy can sometimes lead to aches and stiffness.
Chiropractic care may help active adults maintain mobility and address musculoskeletal problems that interfere with everyday activities.
Our goal isn’t just to help you feel better temporarily. We also want to help you move better and become stronger.
Seniors
As we get older, changes in joint mobility, muscle strength, balance, and flexibility are common.
Chiropractic care may be an option for some older adults experiencing stiffness or musculoskeletal discomfort. Treatment should always be based on the individual’s health history and physical condition.
Care may also include gentle mobility exercises and strengthening to help patients remain active and independent.
Pregnant Women
Pregnancy creates many changes throughout the body. As the baby grows, changes in weight distribution and movement can contribute to discomfort in the lower back, hips, and pelvis.
Chiropractic care may help some pregnant patients manage pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomfort. Treatment is modified based on the patient’s stage of pregnancy, comfort, and individual needs.
People With Sciatica
Sciatica can cause pain that begins in the lower back or buttock and travels into the leg. Some people may also experience tingling, numbness, or weakness.
Because sciatica can have different causes, an evaluation is important before beginning treatment.
Depending on the patient’s condition, care may include chiropractic treatment, spinal decompression, mobility exercises, nerve mobility exercises, and progressive strengthening.
People With Disc Problems
Bulging or herniated discs can sometimes irritate nearby nerves and contribute to back pain, neck pain, or symptoms traveling into the arms or legs.
At Disc Wellness Chiropractic, we evaluate the patient’s symptoms, movement, and available imaging when appropriate. For certain patients, a treatment plan may include chiropractic care, non-surgical spinal decompression, therapeutic exercise, and activity recommendations.
People Injured in Car Accidents
Even a relatively minor car accident can place significant forces on the body.
After an accident, some people develop neck pain, back pain, headaches, stiffness, or reduced range of motion. Symptoms may also become more noticeable hours or days after the collision.
A chiropractic evaluation can help identify musculoskeletal injuries and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
People With Headaches and Neck Tension
Not every headache comes from the neck, but neck stiffness, muscle tension, and certain movement problems may contribute to some types of headaches.
For appropriate patients, chiropractic care may focus on improving neck and upper-back mobility while addressing muscle tension and movement habits.
Veterans
Veterans may experience musculoskeletal problems related to years of physical activity, training, repetitive movements, or previous injuries.
We are proud to provide chiropractic care for veterans who are authorized for treatment through the VA Community Care Network.
More Than Just an Adjustment
Chiropractic care doesn’t have to be limited to adjustments.
Depending on the patient, our approach may include:
Chiropractic Care → Spinal Decompression → Mobility → Therapeutic Exercise → Strengthening
Every patient is different, which is why we begin with an evaluation. We look at your symptoms, health history, spinal and joint movement, muscle function, daily activities, and personal goals before recommending treatment.
If pain or stiffness is keeping you from doing the things you enjoy, a chiropractic evaluation can help determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
