Sports Injuries

When it comes to recovering from a sports-related injury, we know that your goal isn’t just to relieve the pain temporarily, you want to kick it for good. Dr. Christopher Brill helps patients reach that goal through various chiropractic procedures that not only heal pain, but help prevent any further injury from occurring.
 
It doesn’t matter if you are a professional athlete or just someone who likes to exercise; Dr. Brill has the tools necessary to fix any number of sports-related injuries. Many studies have shown that chiropractic care is able treat an injured athlete more effectively that a medical doctor. Unlike a medical doctor, chiropractors are trained to see the human body as one entity rather than seeing one injury at a time. This allows chiropractors to have a better understanding of the body as a whole, leading to less recurring injuries in the future.
 
There a number of injuries associated with athletes. According to the American Chiropractic Association, the most commonly injured areas of the body are the ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows and spine. Spinal injuries are by far the most concerning. The Global Burden of Disease 2010 did a study that showed that lower back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Spinal injuries are very treatable, especially with a chiropractor.
 
Without doubt, competing athletes or even the weekend warrior who wants to be at their very best should consider regular chiropractic care for the competitive edge. Not only will it help the body function at an improved level, chiropractic care is good for overall health. Through chiropractic manipulations, Dr. Brill can increase blood flow for quicker post-performance relief, decrease stress and improve the immune system.

Radiculitis

Radiculitis is inflammation and possible damage to a nerve as it exits the spinal cord and progresses into the arm or leg. The most common cause of inflammation of the nerve root is an arthritic process or a tear in the disc or facet joint capsule that spills toxic joint fluid on the nerve. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we offer non-invasive, non-surgical treatment options for those suffering from radiculitis.
 
Unless there are concerns of nerve death or other permanent injury to the patient, the first step for treating radiculitis should be through conservative and not surgical intervention. As a chiropractic practice, it is our goal to alleviate pain without resorting to surgery. Non-Surgical treatment for radiculitis includes the following:
  • Heat and/or cold therapy
  • Exercises to help strengthen your back
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Physical therapy combined with activity modification

Intersegmental Traction Tables

Intersegmental traction tables gently help reestablish the normal ranges of the body’s spine. These tables also help facilitate muscle relaxation and reduce muscle spasms. It has been shown that daily use of an intersegmental traction table greatly accelerates recovery progress from a back injury. We utilize this technology at Therapeutic Solutions LLC so our patients are not only comfortable while on the table, but they are actually working with them to improve their health.
 
When the spine's postural muscles (the muscles that hold you upright) are traumatized, or negatively impacted from an accident, injury, fatigue, or poor posture, spasms occur. Our intersegmental traction table carefully lengthens the postural muscles of your spine in a comfortable, even manner and allows normal joint motion, circulation and mobility to return.
 
During a 10-minute session, the intersegmental roller table interacts with your body in a massage-like fashion. The contact pressure can easily be adjusted to suit individual needs and sensitivities. Thanks to its quiet, unique and precision-patented motion design, the intersegmental traction table treats all body sizes, shapes, and weights equally and effectively, including children.

Facet Syndrome

For patients that are experiencing persistent, chronic pain in any part of your spine, from your neck to your lower back, you may be suffering from a condition called Facet Syndrome. This condition develops in the small joints located between each vertebra. This part of your spine is always in motion, providing the spine with both the stability and flexibility needed to perform any task where movement is necessary. Friction between the bones, however, leads to tenderness, swelling, stiffness and pain.
 
When it comes to diagnosing Facet Syndrome, it is important to work with a medical professional who specializes in spine health. As a chiropractor, Dr. Christopher Brill is trained extensively in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic back/neck pain. In most cases, symptoms are very similar to those of other conditions so it is very important to be properly diagnosed.
 
A condition like Facet Syndrome can be treated without surgery thanks to chiropractic care. Thanks to advanced non-surgical therapies that include adjustments and manipulations, we are able to lessen to pain and eventually correct the problem, relieving you completely of your pain.

Acid Reflux

Acid reflux is a condition that affects millions of Americans. This health condition causes the contents of the stomach move back from the stomach into the esophagus. Many people will try and cure acid reflux with over-the-counter or prescription medication but in most cases, these medications only dull the symptoms rather than curing the condition. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Dr. Christopher Brill is able to cure patients from their acid reflux problems.
 
In many cases, acid reflux is causes by the failure of the cardia (where the stomach attaches to the esophagus) to keep the contents of the stomach from flowing back into the esophagus. The acids and enzymes contained within the stomach leak back into the esophagus where they cause irritation, burning and inflammation of the sensitive tissue lining the esophagus.
 
When the body’s spine and central nervous system are optimized and 100% healthy, all systems within the body perform correctly and without pain. When there are subluxations in the spine, the systems of the body are not able to function at peak levels which can lead to numerous health issues, including digestive problems such as acid reflux. As part of our overall care, we also provide patients with guidance on weight loss, improving diet and exercise plans. All of these elements are important in eliminating acid reflux and preventing it from returning.
 
Patients turn to chiropractic care because treatment involves no prescription drugs or surgery. It’s safe and effective, even for conditions like acid reflux.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome


Carpal tunnel syndrome is an unfortunately common work-related injury for many that work in manufacturing, sewing, finishing, cleaning, meatpacking and other hands-on industries.  Through the chiropractic services available at our practice, we offer long lasting, safe and non-invasive ways to manage carpal tunnel syndrome.


The median nerve runs from the forearm to your hand. In patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, this nerve is compressed into the narrow tunnel at the wrist. Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome may experience:



  • Burning

  • Tingling

  • Itching

  • Numbness


Chiropractic care helps patients find relief through joint manipulation and stretching and strengthening exercises.  We invite patients to visit our office for a diagnosis, where we can better determine the treatment that will best address their individual health issues.
