1. You are dealing with numbness and tingling:

Pain with numbness and/or tingling down the arms/hands or legs/feet can be extremely uncomfortable or concerning.  This pain often comes from pressure on the nerve root at the spine causing specific radicular pain.  Patients dealing with this pain often have few choices for alleviation of pain.  Pain killers and muscle relaxers can often relieve pain but the cause of the problem still persists.  Patients are often offered injections or even surgery to relieve the pain. According to a 2006 study by Santilli et al chiropractic manipulation significantly reduced the amount of time patients deal with radicular pain.  If you are considering surgery for your severe pain with numbness and tingling, chiropractic care in Knoxville TN can be a safe and timely alternative.


2. You are dealing with headaches/migraines more than once per week:

There are many causes of headaches.  Among the most common causes includes cervicogenic and migraine headaches.  According to a 2011 study by Bryans et al evidence suggests that chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation improves cervicogenic and migraine headaches.

4. You have been in a car wreck or experienced a whiplash injury:

A whiplash injury incurs most often in a motor vehicle accident after someone has experienced an abrupt force causing the neck to move forward then abruptly be forced backward in a short period of time.  This injury often leads to acute neck pain, muscle strain, and even disc injury.  According to a 2010 study by Shaw et al.  evidence suggests that chiropractic care increases cervical range of motion and manages pain following a whiplash injury.


5. You are having neck pain/shoulder pain:

Common conditions affecting the shoulder include rotator cuff injuries as well as frozen shoulder syndrome.  When people are dealing with these conditions they have difficulty raising their arm past 90 degrees with no known cause of injury.  According to a 2011 study by Brantingham et al. evidence suggests that manipulative therapy to the shoulder and cervical spine can increase the shoulder range of motion and reduce pain in patients dealing with rotator cuff and frozen shoulder conditions.
