Chiropractic Care From Our Rancho Cucamonga Chiropractor

If you've always hesitated to try chiropractic care for what ails you, you're missing out on potentially life-changing improvements in your quality of life. Our Rancho Cucamonga chiropractor at Spinal Health Centers, Dr. Ferraro, uses this natural, non-surgical healing modality as part of his "whole person approach" to health, wellness and pain relief.

How does Chiropractic Treatment Work?

Chiropractic care is the targeted manipulation of joints that have lost their natural alignment, a condition known as subluxation that can throw your entire body off-balance, cause pain, and/or interfere with your range of motion. Our Rancho Cucamonga chiropractor applies high-velocity, low-amplitude force in a highly-controlled manner to shift joint components back into position. The first chiropractic adjustment was made in 1895 -- and it actually cured a patient's deafness.

Chiropractic Benefits and Conditions Treated

How does chiropractic benefit the body? By bringing your musculoskeletal system back into its proper alignment, we not only provide drug-free pain relief to joints and muscles; we also free impinged nerves and nerve roots, relieving neurological symptoms such as tingling, pain, numbness and muscular weakness. The improved nerve function also allows your entire body to function more normally. Chiropractic adjustment can treat:

• Neck pain - Chiropractic adjustment to the cervical spine can relieve chronic or acute neck pain.
• Headaches - Cervical imbalances that create neck muscle tension can also trigger headaches. Chiropractic adjustment can reduce headache frequency and severity.
• Low back pain - Personal injuries, weight gain, and degenerative conditions can contribute to low back pain as well as sciatica. Chiropractic adjustment to the lower spinal column can help you feel better without undergoing back surgery.
• Auto injuries - Chiropractic care offers natural pain relief for conditions such as whiplash and sciatica sustained in an auto accident injury.
• Work injuries - Constant, bending, twisting or stooping at work can cause joint alignment issues and muscular strain, while more acute injuries can leave you with debilitating pain and loss of function. Chiropractic treatment can help you return to your job more quickly and comfortably.
• Sports injuries - Sports injuries range from acute spinal injuries to chronic overuse injuries related to an unbalanced stance or gait. Chiropractic care can straighten posture and restore normal joint position.
• Degenerative conditions - Degenerative spinal issues or an untreated spinal misalignment can cause small but significant imbalances, resulting in chronic musculoskeletal pain and neurological symptoms. Chiropractic care relieves the stress on nerves and muscles while serving as a non-pharmaceutical chronic pain management tool.
