Afterwards, in part 2 we focused more on different chiropractic adjustments and what conditions they can helps with. In this final part, we will continue to cover this topic. Read on to find out more.

 

Chiropractic treatment: Hip adjustments

 

Hip Pain: Hip pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including osteoarthritis, bursitis, or muscle strain. Chiropractic hip adjustments can help to reduce pain and improve function in the hip joint.

Sciatica: Sciatica is a condition that causes pain, tingling, and numbness in the legs and feet. It can be caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, which can be related to hip misalignment. Chiropractic hip adjustments can help to reduce compression of the sciatic nerve, reducing symptoms associated with sciatica.

IT Band Syndrome: IT band syndrome is a condition that causes pain on the outside of the hip and thigh. It can be caused by overuse or muscle imbalances. Chiropractic hip adjustments can help to improve muscle function and reduce pain associated with IT band syndrome.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: The sacroiliac joint is located where the spine meets the pelvis. Therefore, dysfunction of this joint can cause pain and discomfort in the hip and lower back. Basically, chiropractic hip adjustments can help to improve sacroiliac joint function and reduce pain associated with dysfunction.

 

Chiropractic treatment: Knee adjustments

 

Knee Pain: Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including osteoarthritis, ligament sprains, or muscle strains. Chiropractic knee adjustments can help to reduce pain and also improve function in the knee joint.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a condition that causes pain in the front of the knee. Occasionally, it can be caused by overuse or improper alignment of the patella (kneecap). Chiropractic knee adjustments can help to improve patellar alignment and reduce pain associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

IT Band Syndrome: IT band syndrome is a condition that causes pain on the outside of the knee. Generally, it can be caused by overuse or muscle imbalances. Chiropractic knee adjustments can help to improve muscle function and reduce pain associated with IT band syndrome.

Meniscus Injuries: Meniscus injuries occur when the cartilage between the bones in the knee joint is damaged or torn. Chiropractic knee adjustments can help to improve joint alignment and reduce pain associated with meniscus injuries.

Chiropractic treatment: Ankle adjustment

 

Ankle sprains: Ankle adjustments can help reduce pain and inflammation caused by sprains and therefore restore the joint’s range of motion.

Chronic ankle instability: People with chronic ankle instability may experience frequent ankle sprains or feel like their ankle gives out when they walk or run. Ankle adjustments can help strengthen the ankle joint and improve its stability.

Plantar fasciitis: Ankle adjustments can help alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by plantar fasciitis, a common condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot.

Achilles tendinitis: Ankle adjustments can help reduce pain and stiffness caused by Achilles tendinitis, an overuse injury that affects the Achilles tendon, which is the largest tendon in the body.

Shin splints: Ankle adjustments can significantly help alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by shin splints, a common condition characterized by pain along the shin bone.

 

Chiropractic treatment: Foot adjustment

 

Plantar fasciitis: see above.

Flat feet: A foot adjustment can help to realign the bones in the foot, which can particularly improve arch support and reduce pain associated with flat feet.

Ankle sprains: see above.

Bunions: Generally, a foot adjustment can help to realign the bones in the foot, which can reduce pressure on the big toe joint and alleviate pain associated with bunions.

Metatarsalgia: A foot adjustment can help to reduce pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot caused by metatarsalgia, a condition that involves inflammation of the metatarsal bones.
