Chiropractic Care

So, what conditions can chiropractic care help? Well, your spine is what protects your spinal cord. Your spinal cord is how your body communicates between the brain and every system. If there is a vertebra that is misaligned, it may be impinging on a nerve. This is important because it is being found that the nervous system plays a key role in how your immune system functions. Therefore, if your nervous system is being compromised, your immune system may be compromised and malfunctioning. A chiropractor is a specially trained doctor that treats and protects the nervous system by relieving pressure off the nerves. By doing this, you are allowing your body to function at its max potential and not overreact to allergens, fight infections quicker as well as decrease the likelihood of contracting illnesses such as colds and cases of the flu.

There are marshmallow-like pads between your vertebrae called intervertebral discs. These discs house nerves inside a jelly-like solution, surrounded by cartilage. They are very important for numerous reasons. These discs proved movement in the spine. When these discs start to degenerate, a spine will become less mobile and may start to fuse together. Intervertebral discs are also creating space between the vertebrae. This is important because nerves pass through these spaces and if the space becomes compromised then the nerve may be pinched or killed off. They also act as shock absorbers. When movement occurs, the jelly solution gives the disc the ability to expand and compress. If a spine becomes misaligned, a disc can become herniated, bulged, slipped, or if it’s bad enough it might even rupture. A misalignment is not the only cause for these conditions. Age can cause the disc to become weak and dehydrate. Not only will these conditions put pressure on the nerves, but they will also cause pain.

If you are suffering from these conditions call Array Medical Center Surprise for a no obligation consultation. Surgery is expensive, risky, time consuming, and has side effects.

Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage in the joints gets worn down. The likelihood of developing osteoarthritis increases if you have suffered an injury in joints like the hips, knees, wrist, hands, ankles, feet, neck, or back. This condition can be very painful and make daily life a struggle. It also can have an effect on the rest of your body. This happens due to compensation. If a person has pain in one knee, then they are going to put extra weight on the opposite knee. This not only affects the knee you are putting more weight on, but it also affects your ankles, feet, hips, pelvis and low back. Pain killers can provide relief until it wears off and it’s time to take another pill. Chiropractic can help the pain by taking pressure off nerves and joints due to compensation. Chiropractic adjustments also help restore proper movement in joints in the affected and unaffected areas. This is important because at Array Medical Center Surprise we are concerned with treating your entire body.

The condition of joint dysfunction can be described as joints that become stiff and full movement is restricted. There are many different causes of this condition including, but not limited to, muscle imbalance, injury, or poor posture. Compensation is a common cause of additional pain, just like with arthritis. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is the most treated joint dysfunction. The sacroiliac joint is where the sacrum (tailbone) joins with the pelvis. The joint dysfunction can create pain in the low back and limit movement. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is often misdiagnosed for sciatica or a herniated disc. Call Array Medical Center Surprise today to be properly diagnosed. At Array Medical Center Surprise, we will perform a thorough exam and specific adjustments to restore movement and give you relief.

Fibromyalgia is defined as chronic, widespread pain and affects almost 6 million Americans. Today there is not a lot of knowledge as to what causes it, but the symptoms include pain throughout the body, especially the joints. People suffering from fibromyalgia describe the pain as mild or severe burning, aching, sharp, shooting, and radiating. Because of this widespread chronic pain, it is common for the condition to bring on headaches, depression, and/or anxiety. Today there is not a known cure, but research is showing that chiropractic adjustments have provided relief for those suffering from fibromyalgia. At Array Medical Center Surprise, we perform a thorough exam and provide care and strength to the entire body by relieving stress on the nervous system.

Pinched nerves are the culprit behind many different conditions from headaches to heart attacks, from infertility to widespread pain. This happens because there are structural misalignments that compress the nerves that extend off the spinal cord. This compression not only affects the direct area, but it can extend further than thought. A misalignment in the pelvis can create migraines. That is why at Array Medical Center Surprise we perform a full body examination. We do not do just the minimum when your health is in our hands.
