| Conditions This page will be used to discuss conditions that are managed at the Montpelier Chiropractic Center...Many people do not understand the wide range of therapies and conditions that can be treated with chiropractic care, and this page is designed to help you understand. |
||||||||||||||
| Back Pain: A chiropractors education focuses on the evaluation and treatment of nerve, muscle, and joint irritation, specifically that which involves the spine. |
||||||||||||||
| Headaches: Although there are several different types of headaches with a wide variety of causes, a doctor of chiropractic is trained to evaluate the neck and head region to determine the specific problem. The treatment is focused on removing the "disturbance" -- frequently muscle tension and nerve irritation. |
||||||||||||||
| Foot Pain: Of special interest to Dr. Schlade, the function of the foot and ankle joints, muscles, and surrounding tissues can influence the integrity of the entire body. Although not treated by all chiropractors, Dr. Schlade has spent significant time in post-graduate work studying the physiology of the feet. |
||||||||||||||
| Sciatica: Impingement or irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause pain, burning, numbness, and/or ache into the buttock, thigh, and leg. If the cause of the irritation is removed, the symptoms will be relieved. There are different areas where irritation can occur, and a proper evaluation is necessary for the correct treatment protocol. |
||||||||||||||
| Fibromyalgia: A syndrome with a wide variety of causes, fibromyalgia causes widespread discomfort and frequently is associated with sleep disorders, fatigue, and depression. A wide scope of therapies is generally needed for significant relief. |
||||||||||||||
| Arthritis: The most common condition treated in our office is degenerative changes in the joints, most commonly known as arthritis. Although arthritis is generally irreversible (as diagnosed with x-rays), it can be "managed" so that it is not debilitating. |
||||||||||||||
| Digestive Issues: Many mild conditions involving the digestive tract can be managed using diet changes, natural supplements, and nerve stimulation/relaxation techniques (via an adjustment). Natural care for these ailments work best during the early stages of the "disease". |
