Back Pain
Since back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, it is vital to know how to prevent the cause of back pain. By maintaining a healthy diet and weight, remaining active and avoiding prolonged inactivity or bed rest are all important ways to avoid back pain. Before doing exercises or any physical activity, it is recommended to warm up and/or stretch.
Headaches/ Migraines
Nine out of ten Americans say that they suffer from headaches. Some of these people experience headaches frequently. Some experience constant headaches that are very painful. These can even make a person nauseous. Ninety-five percent of headaches are tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused from a disease, but from something in your body that is not sitting correctly.
Neck Pain
The neck, also called the cervical spine, begins at the base of the skull and contains seven small vertebrae. The cervical spine supports the full weight of your head which is on average about 12 pounds. While the cervical spine can move your head in nearly every direction, this flexibility makes the neck very susceptible to pain and injury.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a very common condition and affects almost half of the U.S. Most patients feel some sort of pain, limited range of motion, an inability to engage in activities of daily living (ADL) or something more serious as a permanent disability.
Whiplash
For people involved in an auto accident, it is an experience that is as scary as it is traumatic. Many people might be able to walk away from a simple fender bender without any issues. Unfortunately, many others will have lingering and long-lasting effects from an auto accident, including injuries such as whiplash. Whiplash can be difficult to recover from, and you might not even know you’re suffering from this ailment until well after an accident. If you’ve been involved in a car accident, it’s important to get whiplash treatment started as soon as possible. At Spine & Sport Rehab Center, we’re here to provide the best chiropractic care in Mansfield, MA. Read on to learn more about whiplash and how it is treated.
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a type of auto accident injury that results from the “whipping” motion of the neck jerking back and forth during an accident. This jerking motion can be violent, and it can lead to severe neck pain. Other symptoms of whiplash include:
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Dizziness
- Shoulder pain
- Upper back pain
- Tension in the neck muscles
- Confusion
Whiplash symptoms might not appear for weeks or even months after an accident, since people’s adrenaline levels are so high and they might not notice any pain initially. Therefore, it’s best to reach out to a chiropractor for help as soon as you begin to notice the signs of whiplash or another auto accident injury.
How Does a Chiropractor Treat Whiplash?
Our chiropractor will conduct a thorough physical assessment to ensure your symptoms are truly caused by whiplash and not by another injury. They can provide treatment for whiplash and other physical injuries, which is tailored to fit your specific needs and treat your pain levels.
Treatment for whiplash can include chiropractic care such as:
- Massage therapy for the upper neck and surrounding areas to alleviate stiffness

Knee Pain
Knee pain is increasingly becoming a more common problem in society. It is a complaint we see frequently. The most common complaint associated with knee pain is considered the normal “wear and tear.” Another ailment that affects the knee is osteoarthritis. The symptoms and progression of osteoarthritis and knee pain can be reduced through our individualized approach to chiropractic care.
Sciatica
Sciatica is characterized by pain in the lower back that radiates down one or both legs. The pain is described as dull, achy, sharp, like “pins and needles” or similar to electric shocks. Other symptoms associated with sciatica include burning, numbness and tingling sensations. Sciatic nerve pain varies in intensity from mild to severe, and frequency may range from occasional to constant. The onset is generally gradual and not necessarily associated with a previous event. Sciatica is also known as radiating or referred pain, neuropathy, or neuralgia.
Heel Spurs/Plantar Fasciitis
Heel spurs occur in at least 50% of people who have plantar fasciitis. Past treatments for heel spurs, a bony growth that begins on the front of your heel bone and points toward the arch of your foot, included surgery to remove the growth. Nowadays, surgery is rarely a treatment option and more plans for physical therapy, ice, and pain medications are used to treat heel spurs.
Foot Pain
The foot and ankle are highly specialized structures that absorb the weight of the body and enable us to move. Experts estimate that the force and pressure on your feet when walking can be up to two times your body weight. This pressure can increase with more vigorous movements such as running and jumping. With so much pressure on your feet and ankles, they undergo a lot of wear and tear throughout your life and are highly susceptible to injury and trauma.
The foot and ankle are a complex system of bones, ligaments, muscles, and joints that provide the structure and stability we need to move freely. If any of these components become compromised or weakened due to injury, overuse, degenerative conditions, or sprains, it can significantly impact your foot’s ability to move and function properly.
