Common reasons to see a chiropractor in Wheat Ridge, CO
Lower back pain
Chiropractors treat lower back pain with spinal adjustments, mobilization, and soft tissue therapy. Research supports chiropractic care as an effective first-line treatment for many types of back pain.
Neck pain and stiffness
Neck pain from poor posture, sleeping position, or injury responds well to chiropractic adjustments and manual therapy. Your chiropractor also addresses contributing factors like workstation ergonomics.
Headaches originating from the neck
Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches often originate from neck and upper back problems. Chiropractic adjustments targeting the cervical spine can reduce headache frequency and intensity.
Sciatica
Shooting pain from the lower back down the leg can result from disc herniation or piriformis syndrome. Chiropractors use adjustments and therapeutic exercises to relieve nerve compression.
Joint mobility and stiffness
Reduced range of motion in the spine or extremities limits what you can do every day. Chiropractic care restores joint mobility through manual adjustments and guided movement.
