Did you know that many painful injuries and conditions respond to chiropractic treatment? Chiropractic treatments are conservative in nature, meaning they don’t include surgical intervention or medication, and patients can notice results quickly. If you want to reduce pain, increase mobility, and speed up your recovery, chiropractic treatment at the Illinois Pain & Spine Institute Barrington clinic may be the right choice for you. Learn more about the conditions that respond to chiropractic treatment and then consider scheduling a consultation.

Neck Pain

Neck pain has various causes, including injuries, accidents, age, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and poor posture. Cervical manipulation can improve the range of motion while reducing stiffness and pain. If you suffer from neck pain, you should begin to notice an improvement shortly after starting chiropractic treatment at the Illinois Pain & Spine Institute in the Chicago area.

Back Pain

Back pain can be debilitating, so it’s necessary to seek help immediately. Chiropractor, Dr. Fischer, can use manipulation and mobilization techniques to realign your spine, stretch the soft tissue, and improve the overall function.

Knee Pain

If you have knee pain, it could be due to an injury, chronic condition, or referred pain. A chiropractic treatment can help with each of these issues. Dr. Fischer, may use mobilization and manipulation techniques to improve the function while reducing pain and inflammation.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is caused by a myriad of conditions, including tendonitis, dislocations, bursitis, sprains, and rotator cuff injuries. Our Barrington, IL chiropractor, Dr. Fischer, will begin by diagnosing the condition. You’ll then receive a customized treatment plan that might include an assortment of modalities to address the underlying issue. Because chiropractors take a holistic approach to the treatment, the plan will also address other factors that your shoulder pain has caused, such as neck or spine inflammation.

Joint Pain

Joint pain can make walking, standing, and even sitting difficult. Fortunately, you can receive chiropractic treatment at the Illinois Pain & Spine Institute of Barrington to improve your mobility and reduce the pain. Our chiropractor can use gentle manipulation techniques to make your joints less tender. Other treatment options include ultrasound, electrotherapy, and a low-level laser. The treatment received will depend on the nature of your issue. For example, if your joints are actively swollen, an adjustment won’t be the right choice. Instead, our provider may ease the swelling with ultrasound or a low-level laser.

Scoliosis

Approximately 90 percent of people with scoliosis don’t need surgery. However, they still suffer from painful symptoms. If you’re one of the many Chicago residents with scoliosis, consider undergoing chiropractic treatment for your condition. Chiropractic treatment can reduce the pressure your spine puts on your nervous system. Our Barrington chiropractor can also help you strengthen your core, which could also alleviate symptoms. Along with reducing pain, chiropractic treatment can make breathing easier and allow you to enjoy an active lifestyle without your symptoms holding you back.

Headaches

Headaches and muscle tension often go hand in hand. If your neck muscles are tight, the tension can spread to your head and lead to a headache. Illinois Pain & Spine Institute can treat headaches that start in the neck and progress to the head. Dr. Fischer may use adjustments or manipulation to reduce stress and tension. He may also provide suggestions for you to make lifestyle changes in order to prevent your neck muscles from tensing up and causing headaches.

Disc Issues

Bulging and herniated discs are extremely common. Your disc condition might be due to “wear and tear” or repetitive motions. You could have injured yourself. Obesity and genetics also play a role in disc issues. The Illinois Pain & Spine Institute’s Barrington chiropractor can alleviate the symptoms and help you start to recover. Dr. Fischer takes a holistic approach to disc injuries. This could include a spinal adjustment to relieve pressure on the discs, exercises as well as nutritional advice to follow at home.

Sports Injuries

If you’re dealing with a sports injury, you want to get back on the field or court as soon as possible. That means you need to avoid surgery. The Illinois Pain & Spine Institute of Barrington, IL can treat many sports injuries through chiropractic care. Common sports injuries our chiropractor treats include sprains and strains, overuse injuries, shin splints, and knee pain. Our chiro specialist can also help you recover from dislocations and fractures. Chiropractors use different modalities when treating sports injuries. This can include adjustments, sports massages, traction, ultrasound therapy, stretching activities and other techniques.

Sciatica

Sciatica causes shooting pain that goes from the lower back down the legs. It might feel worse when you sit down and you might notice burning, tingling and numbness as well. Fortunately, this painful condition responds well to chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic massage therapy is one such option. Our Barrington chiropractor will manipulate the tissue, helping your muscles relax. This helps to take pressure off the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic adjustments can also alleviate the pressure, which in turn, reduces the symptoms. Often, providers combine these therapies with ultrasound to promote muscle relaxation.

Whiplash

Car accidents cause many of the whiplash injuries which are treated at the Illinois Pain & Spine Institute. However, you can end up with whiplash due to other types of traumas as well. No matter how you developed whiplash, chiropractic treatment at our Barrington clinic can increase your range of motion and reduce your pain. Dr. Fischer will evaluate your symptoms to determine the proper treatment. Most often, patients respond well to spinal manipulation and trigger point techniques.

Pinched Nerves

A pinched nerve can cause pain, numbness, weakness and other symptoms. Chiropractic treatment can alleviate the symptoms by reducing the pressure on the nerve. Dr. Fischer could adjust your spine to remove pressure on the spinal discs. You also might be a good candidate for traction. This technique stretches the spine to release the pressure. Many patients report that they start feeling better after the first treatment, although additional visits could continue to reduce the symptoms.
