In the past week have you: Fallen asleep on the couch? Gotten stuck in traffic? Picked up a child? Put away laundry? Slipped or fallen? Lifted something improperly? Little do most people in Eugene know, all of these everyday occurrences can cause a subluxation. A subluxation is a partial dislocation of a joint, usually in the spine, which causes the nerves in between to get pinched. Of course, this will cause pain and discomfort. It can also cause bigger problems in the body part that this nerve travels to. Imagine a car parking on a running water hose. Most of the water coming out of that hose will stop flowing out. When a subluxation occurs, many of the signals flowing through that nerve get blocked or distorted. Pain, numbness, tingling, and loss of function can occur. The primary focus of our chiropractic adjustments is to remove subluxations so that the joints and the nervous system can function without interference. As a Eugene chiropractor, I get to help people who suffer from a variety of health issues. We help children with allergies, hairstylists with migraines, and we help people to recover faster from auto and work injuries. Naturally, we also help traditional neck and back problems too. Chiropractic is safe, natural, and it works!
