Advanced Diagnostic Testing The Myovision Surface EMG is similar to an EKG for the heart. It uses a hand held instrument that are placed over the spinal muscles of the neck and back to identify the exact location of abnormal muscle activity. It allows us to see exactly where in the spine there is lack of or excessive function. Also it detects imbalances in the spine by illustrating the difference in the level of activity between the left and right side of your back. We then focus on restoring proper function to these areas so you can thrive again and live pain free.

Neck Pain Is your neck stiff and sore in the morning? Is It hard for you to turn your head all the way from side to side or forward or backward? Do you get sharp pinching or shooting pains when you turn your head? Neck pain affects millions of people each day. It’s usual causes can range from sports injuries, car accidents, overuse, sudden movement, sleeping in an awkward position, to arthritis, an old injury or spinal or emotional stress. Any sudden movement, such as sneezing, coughing, turning your head suddenly, or whiplash can overstretch or tear the muscles or ligaments that hold the joints in place. This can cause swelling, inflammation, and muscle imbalance which allows the bones in the neck (vertebrae) to move and irritate the nerves.

Back Pain Back pain is a very common condition, affecting about 80% of Americans and being a leading cause of disability worldwide. Although painful and uncomfortable, it is not usually serious. Back pain can affect people of any age but it is significantly more common among adults aged between 35 to 55 years. Back pain often develops without any specific cause that your doctor can identify with a test or imaging study. Some of the common conditions linked to it are: 1. Strained muscles 2. Strained ligaments 3. A muscle spasm 4. Bulging or ruptured disks 5. Arthritis 5. Skeletal irregularities 6. Abnormal curvature of the spine 7. Osteoporosis

Sciatica Sciatica is a term that refers to the painful inflammation of the sciatic nerve, the longest and largest nerve in your body. Sciatica comes from the Latin word meaning “hip”. Your sciatic nerve extends from your buttocks all the way down to your toes! Your sciatic nerve is formed from five nerve roots in your lower back which join together deep in the pelvis. From there, the sciatic nerve divides into many branch nerves that serve your muscles, joints, skin, and other tissues in your legs and feet. Sciatica flare-ups may or may not involve back pain; the pain can be “referred” to other areas. Sciatica sufferers, however, often have a history of low back pain.

A relatively common injury, whiplash is a neck injury brought about by forceful and rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck. A whiplash injury refers to damage to both the soft tissues and bone structures of the neck. Some of its most common symptoms include neck pain, shoulder pain, headache, dizziness, ringing in the ears, arm pain and visual disturbances. If left untreated whiplash associated disorders may develop anxiety, stress, depression, anger, sleep disturbance and drug dependency.Years ago, whiplash patients were made to wear a cervical collar for a few weeks to limit neck movement and prevent additional injuries. But after several studies and tests, it was determined that early range of motion exercises allows for a more rapid improvement of symptoms from whiplash and immobilization could prolong recovery unless there is gross pathology involved. Whiplash

Carpal tunnel is a common condition that causes Tingling, Numbness, Weakness, or Pain in the fingers or hand because of pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. These symptoms usually start gradually, mostly occurs in the thumb, index finger, middle finger and half of the ring finger. Sometimes narrowing of the carpal tunnel causes the median nerve to be compressed. The result may be weakness, numbness or pain in the hand and wrist, or occasionally in the forearm and arm. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a risk to most workers who work on the computer. Others at risk receive micro-traumas to their hands and wrists on a daily basis due to clumsy positioning, forceful and continual movements, and stressful activity. Carpal Tunnel

When something is wrong with your shoulder, it hinders your ability to move freely and can cause pain and discomfort.

It is caused by the tendons of the rotator cuff becoming impinged as they pass through the shoulder joint.

Knee Pain Knee Pain is a very common problem and often occurs during sports or recreational activities.

Elbow disorders may involve arm muscles, elbow ligaments, tendons, and bones in the arm and the treatments for the condition depend on the underlying cause.

Pregnancy back pain During the course of pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes innumerable changes biochemically and structurally which can create postural strain and neck and back pain. A brief look at the anatomy of the spine provides insight as to why chiropractic adjustments can facilitate a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy. The vertebral column is a strong, flexible rod composed of a series of bones called vertebrae which enclose and protect the spinal cord, support the head, and serve as an attachment for the ribs and muscles of the back. This “spine” is able to rotate and move anteriorily, posteriorily and laterally. The vertebral column shows four normal curves which increase its strength, help maintain balance in the upright position, absorb shock, and help protect the column from fracture.
