What is Repetitive Stress Disorder?
Repetitive Stress Disorder is an overuse injury that occurs when excessive amounts of stress or strain has been placed on a particular part of the body resulting in either pain, swelling, muscle strain or tissue damage. Repetitive Stress Disorders are in the same family as strains, sprains, and repetitive motion injuries. These kind of injuries are particularly common for those whose job requires repetitive motion or those who play various sports or musical instruments at high intensity. But, be cautious because repetitive stress disorders result in nearly 50 percent of work-related injuries.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help Those with Repetitive Stress Disorder?
Chiropractic care can be a great way to manage and relieve swelling and pain caused by repetitive stress disorder. Routine chiropractic care provides patients with repetitive motion injuries a safe, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to prescription medications or over-the-counter pain medications (OTCs), which are commonly prescribed to patients to help them manage their pain and swelling.
Chiropractors deliver a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive therapy, known as a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body in an effort to reduce inflammation and improve function of both the affected joint and nervous system. By increasing joint mobility and improving your nervous system function and spinal health, your body has the ability to better manage symptoms caused by repetitive stress disorder.
Below are some of the health benefits chiropractic adjustments can provide patients with repetitive motion injuries:

• Improved joint motion and coordination
  
• Relief from joint discomfort and pain
  
• Improved flexibility
  
• Decreased Inflammation
  

To see if chiropractic care is right for your condition, the Doctor will perform a consultation, examination and if necessary x-ray. Based on the findings of our chiropractic exam and consultation, we can recommend the best course of care to get you healthy again. 


What is a Migraine Headache?
Frequent or not, head or neck pain caused by migraines and tension headaches are not something to live with and endure. According to the International Headache Society, headaches impact almost 40 percent of the American population. Migraines and tension headaches alike are caused by muscle contractions in the head or neck region. Anything from a bright screen, loud music or lack of food and water can all be triggers for one of these uncomfortable aches, but there is a natural and drug-free solution.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help Those with Migraines and Tension Headaches?
Many times Migraine headaches stem from minor misalignments in the upper neck.   This can be caused by stress, injuries, daily habits, slips and falls, and other seemingly normal events. It all adds up. By increasing joint mobility and improving your nervous system function and spinal health, your body has the ability to better manage the pain caused by migraines and tension headaches.


What are Growing Pains?
Achy legs keeping your child awake at night? They may have growing pains. Restless nights of aching and throbbing calves, shins and thighs in school-age children may be the result of growing.
Although the name is deceiving, growing pains don’t always happen where growth is occurring or during time periods of rapid growth. Studies have shown that growing pains may be a myth, and linked to restless leg syndrome which occurs from overactivity during the day.
