CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN HELP WITH EVERYDAY INJURIES

Everyday injuries can occur in all types of situations but the primary cause of of everyday injuries are routine and are effectively treated with chiropractic care.

  • Long-term poor posture habits — Hundreds of hours slouching at a desk or in front of a TV with poor posture will place stress on the muscles, joints and discs, causing vertebrae (bones) in your spine to sprain out of alignment. Eventually an everyday task is the last straw.

  • Poor ergonomics — A close relative of poor posture, poor ergonomics of picking up and lifting objects the wrong way or sitting at a poorly designed workstation will cause similar spinal misalignments.

Chiropractor Dr. Al Simeone offers chiropractic care to effectively relieve back and neck pain while also addressing the root cause of everyday injuries:

  • Chiropractic Care — Correcting your spinal alignment with a series of chiropractic adjustments can alleviate compressed nerves and discs for significant pain relief.

  • Soft Tissue Therapy — Alleviating musculoskeletal stress and tension can improve your posture too. Additionally, soft tissue therapy increases blood circulation and endorphins to heal soft tissue injuries faster.

  • Therapeutic Exercise — Dr. Al Simeone recommends and trains you on therapeutic exercises that will help you reestablish correct posture habits and core strength so you can feel better faster and prevent future injuries.

  • Ergonomic training — Making corrections to workstation set up can relieve stress and prevent future injuries. Ensuring that your workstation is supporting your posture is vital to prevent daily injuries.
