Injuries that Benefit from Chiropractic Treatments
Shoulder
Shoulders make up a large and complex area of your body, they can be complicated to treat. First, our Chiropractor will examine your shoulder and figure out what is causing pain, using state-of-the-art technology to pinpoint sources of inflammation and tension.
In most cases, the patients experience significant relief from their symptoms and a noticeable improvement in their range of motion, giving them hope for a full recovery.
Foot and Ankle
Injuries to your feet and ankles are widespread, especially during athletic activity or after an accident. 80% of people will experience some foot or ankle injury in their lifetime. If that sounds like you, then it is time to meet our Chiropodist, Danielle Willis.
Knee
The knee is one of our most complex joints, containing over 100 ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Because all of these different pieces work together, it is often one of our most unstable joints. If you have had an injury to your knee, our Chiropractor can help get it back in shape without invasive surgery or prolonged physical therapy, providing you with a non-invasive treatment option.
Back
Our Chiropractor's greatest strength is his ability to treat lower back injuries. Dr. McHardy has training in diagnosing and treating your condition to help ensure there are no long-term effects on your spine.
Injury-Related Problems that Chiropractic Treatments Can Help
Reduce Inflammation
Inflammation is an indication that your body has an injury. Foot injuries may be signs of Plantar Fasciitis. When excessive friction occurs in the foot from regular wear and tear, often from jogging, the plantar fascia can be strained and result in micro-tears. It can hurt!
Since over 80% of people suffer from Plantar Fasciitis in their fascia, it may sound strange to think that Chiropractic Care could reduce inflammation. However, Chiropractors are experts in body mechanics and how to keep your body running at peak performance. If there is excess tension in your muscles, ligaments, or fascia, chiropractic adjustments help relieve that tension, reducing inflammation.

How Chiropractic Care Helps
Reduce Scar Tissue
If your ankle, knee, or hip is injured, scar tissue may develop around it, making mobility more complicated than necessary. Our Chiropractor can use methods like spinal manipulation and massage therapy to reduce scar tissue around your joints so that you regain full mobility after an injury.

Restore Range of Motion
One fundamental goal is to restore normal movement and functionality to parts of your body that have been adversely affected by life circumstances. For example, injuries could occur in your neck, back, shoulders, arms, and feet after a car accident. We can use gentle manipulation to restore the range of motion to these areas.
