There are many different types of neck pain which can be addressed through chiropractic treatment, including muscle pain and spasms, neck-related headaches, nerve pain, facet joint (vertebrae) pain, bone pain, and even referred pain – which is pain from another part of the body that manifests itself in the neck. Given that nearly 70% of people are impacted by neck pain at some point, Dr. Gray has many time tested techniques for relieving this debilitating issue.

Pain to your middle and upper back fall into five categories: acute trauma, long-term stress, posture, genetics, and infection. We see patients regularly who have suffered back pain caused by a trauma, such as a car accident or bad fall, and have successfully diagnosed and treated their pain, whether the trauma took place in the last month or in the last decade. A lifetime of poor posture from youth into adulthood can lead to continual discomfort that may eventually prevent you from working. If any of these situations apply to you, we would enjoy the opportunity to meet and discuss how Gray Chiropractic can help.

Most lower back pain is caused by regular wear and tear (spondylosis) that occurs in the joints, discs, and bones as we get older. The most common issues are strains and sprains, which can be caused by over stretching or tearing ligaments or tearing muscle or tendons in the back. Similar to other back pain, acute trauma can also cause injury or compression to the lower back and lead to a number of issues. For more than 25 years, Dr. Gray has provided holistic approaches to healing lower back pain. We urge you to seek our support in removing pain from your daily life.

As our bodies age, there are some things we can’t avoid or cure. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease, but Dr. Gray has treatment options that can help you manage your symptoms. OA primarily occurs in the knees, hips, lower back, neck, and small joints in the hands and feet. Investigating what works best for you as an individual will be our primary focus at Gray Chiropractic. Manual manipulations of affected and surrounding areas can have very positive results for OA sufferers. Additional techniques may include ultrasound, Shockwave, low-level laser, or infrared sauna to treat tissues nearby with the goal of reducing overall pain.

Think about it: your feet and legs experience an incredible amount of wear and tear each day and over a lifetime. And, since each part of the body is interconnected, injuries and pains that start in your feet or legs may eventually work their way into other areas. Mystery neck pains may be related to how you walk. Plantar fasciitis can cause problems in your hips or back. Dr. Gray diagnoses each patient holistically and as an individual so you can be confident that his assessment and recommendations will be tailored to you, your body, and your lifestyle.

Managing pain during pregnancy is vital to maintain your health and that of your baby, along with other important daily wellness needs, such as mood, comfort, and strength.

Dr. Gray is trained with decades of experience treating women who are pregnant or trying to conceive. Call today so the happiest time of your life can be pain free and so you can retain your overall body health for that special time that’s to come with your baby.
