Neck Pain Relief

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 Rockford 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

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.

Headaches

There are 3 main types of headaches we see our patients suffer from when they first come to our Rockford 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. When misalignment of the spine is the cause of these headaches, chiropractic adjustments in Rockford IL can be an effective form of care.

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.

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.

Spinal Alignment

Spinal misalignment can cause chronic pain, poor posture and limited mobility. When the spine is not properly aligned, it puts unnecessary strain on nerves and muscles, leading to discomfort and functional restrictions.

Our chiropractic services focus on restoring proper spinal alignment through precise adjustments that relieve nerve pressure and promote better movement. Postural corrections further enhance mobility, helping patients avoid recurring issues and maintain proper spinal function.

By addressing misalignment early, patients can experience lasting relief and benefit from improved flexibility, mobility and overall spinal health.

Preventive Care

Chiropractic care is not just for pain relief – it’s also a proactive approach to maintaining long-term spinal health. Many patients find that chiropractic wellness programs incorporating regular adjustments, targeted exercises and lifestyle modifications help prevent future injuries and discomfort.

Preventive care includes maintenance visits to keep joints mobile, strengthen muscles that support the spine and improve posture. Whether you’re recovering from a work injury or seeking to prevent musculoskeletal problems, ongoing chiropractic can play a major role in keeping your spine strong and resilient.
