Headaches

Headaches are one of the most common complaints that we hear from our patients, and although they can be caused by many different factors, mechanical problems in the neck and upper back tend to be a leading cause. This type of headache is called a tension headache, and chiropractic treatment can be very effective at alleviating and preventing them. At our office in Newport News, VA, Dr. Christopher Brill can provide you with spinal adjustments to effectively restore your neck and back to proper function to eliminate and prevent further pain.

 

Tension headaches are a result of muscle tension in the neck and upper back, which irritates the nerves that control blood flow to the brain. This can cause you to feel pain in your upper neck or the back of your head, as well as in your head’s frontal region, sinus region, top or sides. These headaches can present as a throbbing, as an ache or just as a constant pain. Spinal adjustments can relieve the pain by improving the alignment and movement of the cervical vertebrae in the neck and taking undue stress off the neck and back muscles. This then relieves the pressure and irritation that causes your headaches.

 

From car accidents to stress to poor posture, there are a variety of factors that can contribute to the type of spinal misalignment that interferes with the neck’s ability to function properly. Muscles in the neck and back can become tight from stress, work, lack of sleep, sinusitis or trauma, and this tightness can cause a subluxation, which then further increases muscle tension. Regular chiropractic treatment allows you to correct the damage done by daily stress and trauma and prevent tension headaches altogether.

Personal Injury

Here at Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we provide chiropractic care for many situations, including after a personal injury. A personal injury can occur from a variety of circumstances, ranging from a fall from a ladder or roof to chronic back or shoulder pain from moving “wrong” during sleep. Many of the injuries are similar to those experienced at work, except they are experienced outside of work.

 

With chiropractic care, we not only address the problem at hand, but work to improve the entire body. Our care focuses on the fact that all of the body’s systems are connected, so when one area is healed, the rest of the body soon follows suit. This is also why we like to perform adjustments for many of our patients, regardless of the injury. With an adjustment, we put the spine back into alignment, helping the entire body to improve.

 

We encourage patients to visit our practice not just to find relief for their injury, but to prevent more complications. Many times, ignoring a type of pain or trauma can worsen the condition, and cause more of the body to go into physical distress.

 

If you have had a personal accident, we urge you to visit us in Newport News, VA for treatment from Dr. Christopher Brill.

Diversified Technique

Diversified technique is the most widely used chiropractic manipulative technique. Dr. Christopher Brill utilizes this technique to help alleviate pain and properly align the spine. Its objective is to restore proper movement and alignment to the spine while also restoring joint function.

 

Dr. Brill will begin with an analysis of your spine. This will involve a case history and possibly X-rays of your spine. Once the area of pain is located and the malposition of one or more spinal bones is identified, a specific manual thrust is administered. The direction, speed, depth and angle of the adjustment that are used are the result of years of training, experience and a thorough understanding of spinal mechanics. The energy delivered during the thrust may produce a slight “popping” sound from the shifting of gas and fluids in the joint.

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

Electrical Muscle Stimulation

At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we believe in offering our patients options when it comes to treating pain. For example, we offer electrical muscle stimulation in order to treat muscle spasms and a variety of soft tissue injuries to the extremities and spine.

Electrical muscle stimulation works by delivering small, therapeutic doses of electrical current to the injured or painful area of the body. Although you may feel a mild tingling, most patients find electrical muscle stimulation comfortable.

When applied to the body, the electric current helps release trigger points, which can reduce muscle spasms. In addition, electrical muscle stimulation can stimulate the body’s natural pain reducing capabilities. The procedure can block pain nerve signals and also promote the release of endorphins, which help decrease discomfort. Electrical muscle stimulation can be used to treat both chronic and acute causes of pain.
Dr. Christopher Brill and our team at Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center strive to provide exceptional chiropractic care. Our goal is to help improve your health and wellbeing. We offer convenient appointment times and free consolations.
