Conditions we treat in Missoula MT

Peripheral Neuropathy: Neuropathy refers to a range of conditions that involve damage to the peripheral nerves, which are the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms can include numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness, often in the hands and feet. It can result from various causes, including diabetes, infections, and exposure to toxins.

Radiculopathy (Numbness/Tingling, Sciatica): Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the spine is compressed or irritated, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates along the nerve from the spine into other areas of the body. Sciatica, a type common of radiculopathy, specifically affects the sciatic nerve, causing pain to radiate from the lower back down to the legs.

Disc Pathology (Herniation, Bulges): Disc pathology encompasses conditions affecting the spinal discs, which serve as cushions between the vertebrae. A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of the disc protrudes through the outer layer, potentially irritating nearby nerves. A bulging disc, on the other hand, involves the disc extending beyond its usual boundary, which can also lead to nerve compression or irritation.

Chronic Back and Neck Pain: Chronic back and neck pain refers to persistent pain in these areas that lasts for more than three months. The pain can be due to a variety of reasons, including underlying conditions like degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or previous injuries, and it significantly affects the individual's daily activities and quality of life.

Headaches: Headaches encompass a variety of conditions that involve pain in any region of the head. They can range from mild to severe and occur for numerous reasons, including tension, migraine, cluster headaches, or other underlying metabolic issues.

Auto Injuries: Auto injuries refer to any injury sustained during an automobile accident. These can range from minor bruises and cuts to more severe conditions such as whiplash, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and fractures. Treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms and restoring function and mobility.

General Spinal Care for Wellness: General spinal care for wellness incorporates proactive strategies such as regular exercise, ergonomic practices, correct posture, and safe lifting techniques, alongside preventative measures like chiropractic adjustments and stretches, to maintain spinal health, prevent injuries, and support overall well-being through optimal spinal alignment and function.

Metabolic Health: Metabolic health plays a pivotal role in reducing inflammation and improving symptoms of conditions like pain, arthritis, and neuropathy. Achieving metabolic balance is associated with significant benefits, including weight loss, better sleep quality, and increased energy levels.
