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.

Treat Acid Reflux with Chiropractic

Acid reflux is a condition that occurs when your lower esophageal sphincter, a valve of muscle fibers where your esophagus and stomach meet, does not close properly. When this happens, the contents of your stomach, which includenaturally strong acids and enzymes used to break down food, can leak up into your esophagus and cause a burning pain in your chest, nausea and difficulty swallowing.

While medication can provide short term relief, chiropractic can provide long-lasting treatment. Dr. Christopher Brill uses chiropractic care to improve the overall health and function of his patients’ bodies, and he does this through spinal adjustments that keep all the systems of the body working properly. If there are interferences or misalignments in the spine, the systems of the body cannot function at peak levels, which leads to many different issues, including acid reflux.

In addition to adjustments, we provide patients with guidance on nutrition and lifestyle choices that can eliminate acid reflux and prevent its return. If your acid reflux is caused by a hiatal hernia, where the top part of the stomach pinches through the diaphragm muscle, Dr. Brill can treat that as well without drugs or surgery.
