Conditions We Treat

Spine, nerve, joint, and soft-tissue conditions managed at our Bayside clinic.

Pain You Don't Have to Live With

Many of the conditions below are mechanical or neurological in nature — meaning they respond well to a structured chiropractic plan. The first step is an accurate diagnosis.

Spine & Back

  • Lower back pain — acute strain, postural overload, lifting injury
  • Mid-back pain — thoracic joint dysfunction, rib-related discomfort
  • Lumbar herniated & bulging discs — disc material protruding into the spinal canal
  • Cervical disc protrusion — neck-level disc problems with arm symptoms
  • Disc degeneration — age-related disc thinning and stiffness
  • Spinal stenosis (mild to moderate) — narrowing of the spinal canal

Neck, Head & Nerve

  • Neck pain & stiffness — including "tech neck" and cervical joint dysfunction
  • Cervicogenic headaches — headaches originating from the upper neck
  • Tension headaches — driven by upper back and neck muscle tightness
  • Dizziness — when related to upper-cervical joint dysfunction
  • Sciatica — radiating pain, tingling, weakness in one leg
  • Pinched nerve & numb limbs — tingling or weakness in arms or legs

Joints, Soft Tissue & Injury Recovery

Targeted care for joint and tendon pain — often combined with shockwave therapy.

Shoulder & Rotator Cuff

  • Calcific tendonitis
  • Rotator-cuff strain
  • Chronic impingement

Elbow, Wrist & Hand

  • Tennis & golfer's elbow
  • Wrist strain from typing
  • Numbness & tingling

Knee, Hip & Foot

  • Knee joint pain
  • Hip and trochanteric pain
  • Plantar fasciitis

Sports Injuries

Athletes — whether weekend runners, gym regulars, or competitive players — rely on a healthy musculoskeletal system. We treat:

  • Strains and sprains
  • Overuse injuries from repetitive training
  • Post-injury return-to-sport rehabilitation
  • Movement assessment and prevention

Auto & Whiplash Recovery

Motor-vehicle accidents commonly leave hidden spinal injury behind — even when initial x-rays look normal. We help patients recover from:

  • Whiplash and acute cervical strain
  • Post-accident lower back pain
  • Lingering headaches and dizziness
  • Lasting neck or shoulder tightness

When the spine is realigned and the nerves are no longer compressed, the body's own healing systems are free to do their work. Documented case reporting has shown blood-pressure improvement, headache resolution, and significant pain reduction following structured chiropractic care.
