Our Multi-Layered Approach To Treating Chronic Pain With Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Adjustments
Misalignments in the spine and joints can put ongoing pressure on nerves and surrounding tissue, feeding the cycle of pain your body’s stuck in. Adjustments help restore proper movement and function, addressing one of the core issues behind your discomfort.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Chronic muscle tension can restrict circulation and keep pain signals firing longer than they should. Our soft-tissue techniques work directly on these problem areas, helping release tightness at its source.
Massage Therapy
Our licensed massage therapy team focuses on melting away tension, improving blood flow, and calming an overactive nervous system, all of which play a role in how your body experiences and holds on to pain.
Exercises & Rehabilitation
We design movement plans tailored to your specific pain patterns, aimed at rebuilding strength, improving mobility, and helping your body function well without pain calling the shots.
Live Life Free From Chronic Pain With Personalized Chiropractic Treatment
Chronic pain looks different from person to person. What’s fueling your discomfort could be completely unrelated to the source of someone else’s, even if the symptoms sound similar.
That’s why we take the time to get to know you, your symptoms, and your medical history before getting treatment underway.
What Causes Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is caused by the nervous system repeatedly sending pain signals to the brain, long after an initial injury or condition that has healed. Chronic pain can last for months or even years. In many cases, the original cause fades into the background while the pain itself takes on a life of its own.
Common triggers include:
Old, unresolved injuries
Arthritis or joint degeneration
Nerve damage or compression
Poor posture and repetitive strain
Underlying inflammatory or autoimmune conditions
What Are the Symptoms of Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain shows up differently in different people, ranging from a dull, constant ache to sharp, unpredictable flare-ups that come out of nowhere. Some people experience it in one specific area, others feel it spread across multiple parts of the body.
Additional symptoms can include:
Fatigue or trouble sleeping
Reduced range of motion
Mood changes linked to ongoing discomfort
Cognitive difficulties
FAQs About Treating Chronic Pain With Chiropractic Care
-
Dr. Reid starts by taking an in-depth look at:
Your full health history
When and how the pain started
What makes it better or worse
Any past injuries or conditions that might be related to it
From there, he’ll run a physical exam to check your posture, joint mobility, and muscle function. Between your history and the hands-on findings, we’re usually able to build a clear picture of what’s driving your pain without jumping straight into imaging.
-
Absolutely. Plenty of our patients come in with pain tied back to an injury from years, sometimes decades, ago. Old injuries can leave behind compensation patterns, scar tissue, or joint restrictions that continue to cause problems long after the original injury has healed. Addressing those lingering issues can bring real relief, even if the injury itself is old news.
-
Yes, stress and physical pain are more connected than most people realize. When you’re stressed, your muscles tend to tense up, your nervous system stays on high alert, and inflammation can increase, all of which can amplify the pain you’re already feeling.
Part of our approach involves helping calm that nervous system response, not just addressing the physical symptoms.
-
It comes down to your specific situation. Some patients see great results from adjustments and soft-tissue work alone, while others benefit from combining chiropractic care with massage therapy, targeted exercise, or guidance from other healthcare providers.
We’ll be upfront with you about what a well-rounded plan looks like based on what’s going on with your body.
-
Acute pain shows up suddenly, usually tied to a specific injury, and tends to fade as your body heals. Chronic pain sticks around well past that normal healing window. Because chronic pain involves changes in how your nervous system processes signals, treating it usually takes a broader, more layered approach than just resting and waiting it out.
-
Surprisingly often, yes. Your body is a connected system, so a misalignment or imbalance in one area can create compensatory patterns that lead to pain elsewhere. That’s why we don’t just look at the spot that hurts; we evaluate your whole body to find where the real problem started.
