Neck pain can have a serious impact on someone’s life. For some people, neck pain only lasts a few days or weeks and then the symptoms go away. For others, it is a challenging, long-term issue that requires care.

If you have been experiencing neck pain an extended period of time, give Evolve Chiropractic of McHenry, IL a call. We can help lessen your pain, improve your range of motion and find out the core issues that started your back pain problems in the first place.

Sciatica is a condition where the sciatic nerve, which runs down the legs from the lower back, becomes irritated or compressed.

People suffering from Sciatica know the pain – which manifests in the lower back, hips, buttocks and legs – can be very intense and hard to manage. This causes many people to turn to pain medications for relief.

Fortunately, there are other options and we have seen many of our patients lessen or completely eliminate their sciatica without using medications.

There are 3 main types of headaches we see our patients suffer from when they first come to our McHenry office:

Tension Headaches:

Tension headaches are very common and often result from prolonged tension in the shoulders, head and neck. While many people choose to treat these with medications, we prefer to show our patients how to resolve the muscular tension that originally caused the issue.

Cluster Headaches:

These can be extremely painful and are often characterized by one-sided pain. 

Migraines:

Migraines are not only painful but can also include other symptoms like nausea and dizziness. By making the proper spinal adjustments, incorporating massage and providing self-care techniques, we’ve seen many patients reduce or eliminate their migraines.

Luckily for our patients, we have seen many of them experience massive change within a short time of receiving care at our office. Many times, headaches are being caused by a misalignment of the spine and we able to help patients see results through gentle, spinal adjustments.
