If you are new to chiropractic care, it is natural to wonder whether these treatments can truly help manage your pain. We are confident that our patient-proven adjustment techniques can make a difference for your health, because our treatments address the underlying triggers for your pain rather than relying on medication to mask symptoms. Prescription painkillers interfere with the brain’s ability to process pain signals, but once these drugs wear off, back and neck pain returns. Chiropractic care is different: spinal adjustments restore proper alignment to the musculoskeletal system, relieving pressure on nerves and providing long-term relief.
Dr. Leidich creates customized Chapel Hill pain management plans tailored to each patient’s back and neck pain relief needs. We start by diagnosing the precise cause of your pain. For many patients, pain is triggered by a spinal misalignment. For example, a whiplash car accident injury can misalign the cervical spine, and a slipped disc can place pressure on nearby nerves, causing a pinched nerve. This nerve pressure can trigger recurring headaches, migraines, and neck pain. Chronic low back pain can also be triggered by an accident injury, and poor posture can exacerbate it by compressing the lumbar spine.
We use diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the precise location of spinal subluxations. Once these misalignments are located, Dr. Leidich uses gentle, hands-on chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment to the spine. Regular adjustments help maintain alignment, reducing pressure on the nerves and alleviating painful conditions like sciatica, neck and back pain, and migraines. Many patients combine adjustments with laser therapy or physiotherapy for faster, more complete relief.
If you suffer from fibromyalgia or other chronic pain conditions, regular chiropractic adjustments can also help manage your pain. While chiropractic care cannot cure fibromyalgia, regular adjustments help minimize associated symptoms. Patients with fibromyalgia experience widespread pain and tenderness at specific points along the body, and by maintaining proper spinal alignment, adjustments reduce interference between the brain and body, which may reduce the intensity of pain symptoms.
