Chronic Headaches
It is no surprise that chronic headaches can severely impact your day-to-day life. Sparse headaches are bad enough and can usually be dealt with pretty easily. However, when chronic headaches occur, it seems as though it is impossible to escape the consistent pain.
There are a number of causes for chronic headaches, including but not limited to:
• Lack of Sleep • Improper Nutrition • Stress • Caffeine Consumption • Inflammation • Infections • Traumatic Injury • Tension • Brain Tumors
Some causes may require different approaches, but alternative pain management options are suggested before more invasive procedures. Our experts want to help you alleviate your headache so you can continue your daily activities without pain. Sometimes, a single technique is not enough to cure your pain but we will work with you to find a solution that works!
Chronic Neck Pain
The neck, also know as the cervical spine, is a network of nerves, bones, joints, and muscles that are controlled by the brain and spinal cord. Designed for strength, stability, and nerve communication, both minor and major neck pain can be a hindrance during your every day activities.
Symptoms associated with neck pain include, but are not limited to:
• Stiffness • Sharp or Stabbing Pain • Soreness or Tenderness • Pain Radiating Down to the Shoulders, Arms, or Fingers • Tingling or Numbness in Arms or Fingers • Trouble Gripping or Lifting Objects
Neck pain can be short-lived, come and go, or become consistent but no matter what your case may be, alleviating that pain can definitely improve your mood. Alternative pain management can be the solution to chronic neck pain you're looking for.
Chronic Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint that has three main bones - the humerus (long arm bone), the collarbone, and the shoulder blade. Your shoulders have a wide and versatile range of motion. When something happens, it restricts your ability to move freely and can cause discomfort.
Causes of chronic shoulder pain include, but are not limited to:
• Arthritis • Torn Cartilage or Rotator Cuff • Bone Spurs • Pinched Nerve in Neck or Shoulder • Dislocated Shoulder • Frozen Shoulder • Injury • Swollen Bursa Sacs or Tendons
Depending on the cause and severity of your chronic shoulder pain, the treatment options can vary. Our experts will work with you to create an alternative pain management plan to alleviate your pain!
