Conditions We Treat & Support

Conditions & Wellness Support

Our clinic provides integrative, whole-body care designed to restore movement, reduce pain, and support nervous system balance. Chiropractic care is the foundation of what we do and is supported by complementary therapies such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and movement-based care. This collaborative approach allows us to address both symptoms and underlying patterns affecting health, function, and recovery.

We care for patients of all ages — from infants to seniors — and tailor treatment plans to individual needs, goals, and stages of life.

Spine, Neck & Back Conditions

Neck Pain
Neck pain may result from posture strain, injuries, disc issues, or prolonged screen use. Care focuses on restoring motion, reducing muscle tension, and improving alignment.

Back Pain (Upper, Mid & Low Back)
Back pain often develops from joint restriction, disc irritation, muscle imbalance, or repetitive stress. Care improves mobility, reduces inflammation, and supports long-term spinal health.

Headaches & Migraines
Many headaches originate from the neck, jaw, or upper spine. Care focuses on reducing tension, improving joint function, and calming nervous system irritation.

Postural Strain & Tech Neck
Modern work and screen habits place constant stress on the spine. Care helps improve posture, reduce fatigue, and restore balanced movement.

Disc & Nerve-Related Conditions

Disc Injuries / Herniated Discs
Bulging or herniated discs can irritate spinal nerves, leading to pain or weakness. Care supports joint motion, reduces pressure, and promotes disc health.

Sciatica
Sciatic pain travels from the low back into the hip and leg. Care addresses spinal mechanics, nerve irritation, and muscular tension.

Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerves)
Nerve irritation may cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. Care focuses on reducing mechanical stress and improving nerve communication.

Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal can place pressure on nerves. Care supports mobility, posture, and reduced compensatory strain.

Auto, Sports & Injury-Related Conditions

Whiplash
Whiplash injuries commonly occur after car accidents and may cause neck pain, headaches, or stiffness. Care supports tissue healing and restoration of normal motion.

Auto Accident Injuries
Even low-speed collisions can disrupt joint and soft-tissue function. Care addresses both immediate symptoms and longer-term biomechanical changes.

Sports & Activity-Related Injuries
Sports and repetitive-use injuries often involve joints, muscles, and overuse patterns. Care supports recovery, mobility, and performance.

Extremity Conditions (Arms & Legs)

Shoulder Pain & Rotator Cuff Injuries
Shoulder pain may result from joint restriction, muscle imbalance, or overuse. Care focuses on restoring shoulder mechanics and spinal support.

Elbow Pain (Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow)
Repetitive strain injuries of the elbow respond well to restoring joint motion and reducing soft-tissue stress.

Wrist & Hand Pain / Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Pain, numbness, or tingling in the hands may involve the wrist, elbow, shoulder, or neck. Care evaluates and treats the entire nerve pathway.

Hip Pain
Hip discomfort is often influenced by spinal and pelvic mechanics. Care restores balanced movement and reduces strain.

Knee Pain
Knee pain frequently reflects issues in the hips, ankles, or overall movement patterns. Care addresses the full kinetic chain.

Ankle & Foot Pain (Including Plantar Fasciitis)
Foot and ankle pain can be related to alignment, gait, and joint mobility. Care supports healthy biomechanics and tissue healing.

Pregnancy, Postpartum & Family Care

Pregnancy-Related Back & Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy places unique demands on the spine and pelvis. Gentle, supportive care helps improve comfort, balance, and mobility.

Pelvic Alignment During Pregnancy
Pelvic mechanics play an important role in comfort and movement. Care supports optimal alignment and function.

Postpartum Recovery
After childbirth, the body undergoes significant structural changes. Care supports recovery, stability, and restoration of normal movement.

Pediatric & Infant Conditions

Pediatric Care
Children experience physical stress from birth, growth, and daily activity. Care supports healthy spinal development and movement patterns.

Colic
Colic may be associated with nervous system and musculoskeletal tension. Gentle care supports regulation and comfort.

Torticollis
Torticollis involves restricted neck motion in infants. Care helps restore movement, balance, and symmetry.

Plagiocephaly (Flat Head Syndrome)
Restricted movement and positioning can influence head shape. Care supports proper neck motion and development.

Growing Pains
Rapid growth can place stress on joints and muscles. Care supports mobility and coordination during growth spurts.

Chronic Pain, Connective Tissue & Nervous System Conditions

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a connective tissue disorder associated with joint hypermobility, instability, frequent sprains, chronic pain, and fatigue. Care focuses on optimizing alignment, supporting joint motion, reducing compensatory tension, and improving overall function and movement confidence.

Joint Hypermobility & Instability
Excessive joint motion can contribute to fatigue, pain, and recurring injuries. Care supports coordination, alignment, and balanced movement.

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain, tenderness, fatigue, sleep disruption, and sensory sensitivity. Care supports nervous system regulation, improves mobility, and reduces overall physical stress.

Chronic Myofascial Pain
Ongoing muscle tightness and trigger points can cause persistent discomfort. Care addresses joint motion, muscle tension, and movement patterns.

Central Sensitization
An over-responsive nervous system may amplify pain signals. Care supports healthier nervous system communication and improved tolerance to movement.

Dr. Brown was INCREDIBLY helpful when I came in with a neck injury and an ankle sprain. After spraining my ankle over a month ago and feeling like I was getting nowhere with my healing process, Dr. Brown provided me with instant relief! He did a very thorough examination, listened to what I was saying, and thoroughly explained what was happening in my body. After hearing from a physical therapist (at a different clinic) that the pain I was feeling in my ankle didn’t make sense for my injury, I felt so validated working with Dr. Brown. I am so thankful I found Dr. Brown in my frenzy to find help for my neck spasm!
