Surprising Conditions Chiropractic Can Address

You may think chiropractic care is something you seek for neck or back pain–and it is! But chiropractic is also highly effective in addressing virtually any condition that results from nerve interference. Dr. Derek Munson in our Belmont Office surprises patients regularly by helping them with conditions like TMJ, sinus problems and vertigo. Our doctors in our 3 other locations, Grandville, Wyoming and Cascade can treat these issues as well.

TMJ

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) is a painful condition that can include symptoms such as jaw tightness, the feeling that you’re clenching your teeth, headaches and other tension conditions. In many cases, the structural issue on one side of the jaw creates the opposite problem on the other, and the problems feed into each other.

Chiropractic adjustments offer relief by mobilizing the jaw joint to coordinate smooth opening and closing with no clicking, as well as by removing the interference in the nerves of the spine and neck that control those actions.

Sinus Issues

Why would you go to a chiropractor for sinus issues? Well, it turns out there are many suture joints in the bones of your skull, and restrictions within those joints and nerve interference in the structures that keep those areas mobile can lead to sinus pain, pressure and even infections.

At Novo Chiropractic Sports & Wellness Center, we gently mobilize the suture joints in the skull, releasing restrictions and removing the nerve interference, so your sinuses can work the way they’re supposed to–without pressure, pain or sinus headaches.

Vertigo

Chiropractic is an excellent choice for addressing vertigo, and Dr. Derek gets great results for our patients with this spinning sensation. Muscles at the base of the skull and top of the neck coordinate commands from the cerebellum to keep your head balanced and swiveling properly. Vertigo occurs when nerve interference causes impairment in the coordination of these commands.

Chiropractic adjustments remove interference and impairment, allowing better coordination of the muscles that stabilize your head. The result is improvement or elimination of your vertigo symptoms.
