When many people think of chiropractic care, they think about back pain. While chiropractors certainly can help with back pain, they can help with so much more than that. Dr. Susan Kennedy of Kennedy Family Chiropractic treats the whole family and helps everyone optimize their health. Her new office in Wheaton serves Wheaton, Naperville, Glen Ellyn, and surrounding areas.
Sports injuries
Chiropractic care is a preferred treatment for athletes. The natural no-medication approach to pain relief gets them back into their sports quicker. Getting an adjustment before going out to perform can help lower the risk of injury. Extremity adjustments to the elbow can help with golfer's elbow and acupuncture can help to reduce pain.
Perinatal Discomfort
When a woman is pregnant, it puts a lot of stress on her body. The baby's location in the front of the body changes the center of gravity and that stresses out the back. The baby may feel like they are sitting on the pelvic bones which causes pressure. Dr. Kennedy is certified in the Webster Technique, which is chiropractic care that helps to make sure that the body is prepared for birth and that the pelvis is aligned as well as the back. It can help to make delivery go smoothly.
Back Pain
Back pain can be caused by many different things. The first step in dealing with back pain is to get a spinal adjustment so that everything is back in alignment. When everything is in alignment, the messages from the brain that tell the body to heal itself can get through unimpeded. Removing the pressure caused by the disc on the nerves in the spine can relieve some types of back pain. Exercise is also part of chiropractic care and back pain.
