When chronic pain prevents you from going about your regular activities, it’s important to find a way to treat it.  Medications and other types of conventional treatments are not always effective enough to provide long-term relief. Other types of treatment, such as surgery, are invasive and come with the risk of bleeding, infections and other complications. 

When you come to our chiropractor in North Austin, TX for treatment, you can expect safe, effective relief from chronic pain.

#1. Effective, Affordable Care for Chronic Pain Relief for North Austin

Seeing our chiropractor for chronic pain means that you can enjoy relief with no risks of adverse reactions, infections or other serious complications. 

Dr. Shawn McHone, our chiropractor, does spinal adjustments that effectively relieve your neck and back pain by straightening out your spine and ensuring that it is in its proper alignment. When your spinal discs are lined up correctly, this eases pain by relieving pressure on nerves in the area. 

Spinal adjustments also help your body heal naturally, so you do not have to depend on medications for treatment. These adjustments can also lower your risk of having pain get worse, come back or occur on a persistent basis.

FAQ: Chiropractic Care

What Is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a natural way of reducing pain and improving quality of life. It is a proven method for helping people to recover from spine-related health problems. Chiropractic is the largest, drug free and non-surgical health care profession in the country.

How Does a Chiropractor Help?

Chiropractors are specially trained to first evaluate and then provide treatment for spinal conditions. Hospitals and private practice doctors frequently recommend the services of a chiropractor to address these types of chronic back, neck, spine, and other nerve-related pain. 

The goal of a chiropractor is to treat not just the pain, but the underlying cause of it without the use of surgery or medications. The benefits extend beyond this and may include reduction of headaches, improvement of jaw pain, improvement of carpal tunnel syndrome, reduction of tingling in the legs and arms, and pain reduction for sciatica sufferers. And, overall, your wellbeing can improve through the help of chiropractic care.

How Do Chiropractic Services Work?

Accidents, sports injuries, home stress, and repetitive work alter the function of the body’s natural nervous system. The body just cannot adapt to these changes and the joints in the spine lock up. This restriction, also known as a misalignment, often results in pressure on the spinal nerve. 

With chiropractic care, our goal is to determine what structural distortions are occurring, called subluxations, and restore the proper alignment in an effort to improve function. If you have pain, swelling, numbness, tingling or spasms of the spine, neck, and back, you may benefit from this type of treatment.

When Should You See a Chiropractor?

Our North Austin chiropractor is available to help you at any time. We work with people of all ages and those facing many types of ailments. This includes back and neck pain, recovery after accidents and support for illness improvement. Our highly trained professionals can help you determine if chiropractic care can help in your situation.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe?

Yes. This is a natural and non-surgical approach to healing and improving quality of life. It is one of the safest types of medical treatment care available to patients today. Chiropractors have one of the lowest malpractice rates in all health care professions because of this high level of safety.

What does chiropractic have to do with my immune system? 

The human body is controlled by nerves.  In fact your nervous system controls all the other systems of your body.  Your nervous system controls your circulation, your immune system, your lungs and your breathing)   When you have 100 percent function from your brain to your body you are most capable of having healthy function.    However, when the bones of your spine, your vertebrae are no longer in normal alignment, delicate nerve tissues that communicate vital information from the brain to the body are interrupted.    

How does this affect my immune system?

In 1917-1918 there was a major flu epidemic.   Chiropractors got fantastic results from influenza patients while those under medical care died like flies all around.” “Statistics reflect a most amazing, almost miraculous state of affairs. The medical profession was practically helpless with the flu victims but chiropractors seemed able to do no wrong.” “In Davenport, Iowa, 50 medical doctors treated 4,953 cases, with 274 deaths. In the same city, 150 chiropractors including students and faculty of the Palmer School of Chiropractic, treated 1,635 cases with only one death.”

How does that happen?

Chiropractors do not treat the flu or other diseases.  Chiropractors restore the normal function to your nervous system by re-aligning your spine.  This allows your body to have optimum health and function.
