 What most people associate  Chiropractic care with is low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other  musculoskeletal type complaints. It is true that good Chiropractic care  will provide relief for these issues without the use of prescription  medication. What is not as well known is that Chiropractors have  provided relief for many other complaints ranging from allergies to  constipation. Because your spinal cord provides the communication  highway for the brain to control and monitor all functions of the body,  and a Chiropractor focuses his/her treatment on the spine, the spinal  adjustment of vertebral misalignments (subluxations) has the power to  provide relief from all kinds of ailments.

 If you have  suffered with low back pain, you know how debilitating it can be. It  will affect %80 of the population at some point in their life. In  Peoria, IL, it is one of the most common reasons for missed work and  work-related disability.

 Your neck  is a structure designed to support and supply motion for your head. It  is very common that vertebral misalignments and muscle cramps cause neck  pain and/or stiffness. Many times, this pain and/or stiffness can  travel down towards your shoulders or even cause severe headaches. 

 There are  over 200 types of headaches and migraines. What they all have in common  is that they negatively affect your quality of life. While pain  medications can relieve the symptoms, they can have irritating  side-effects, tolerances can grow, and they do nothing to address the  actual cause. 

 While  mid-back pain is not as common as low back pain, neck pain, and  headaches, it still affects many people and can be every bit as  irritating. 

 Anywhere  you have a joint in your body, misalignments can cause joint pain. Most  kinds of joint pain are completely treatable by a good Chiropractor. 

The list is long. Here are a few more common examples that our office has a history of successful treatment: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Bursitis, Tendonitis, Tennis Elbow, Golfer's  Elbow, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Hip Pain, Knee  Pain, Sprain/Strains, and many more.

 Most  commonly caused by vehicular crashes, whiplash refers to an injury to  the supportive tissue of the neck due to it's rapid acceleration and  deceleration. Depending on the supportive tissue involved and the  severity of its' injury, the symptoms can range from a stiff neck for a  couple days to debilitating pain that can be chronic or even permanent.
