What is Spinal Misalignment?

Spinal misalignment can be the result of a number of issues. The spine can become misaligned due to an accident, past injury, tension on the spine, or even emotional distress. The human body relies heavily on the spine to provide support during movement, and even a seemingly insignificant pull can misalign the body’s structure.

Misalignment of the spine, also called subluxation, can lead to several health problems including joint damage, nerve damage, muscle damage, and tissue damage. In addition to each of these issues, spinal misalignment can cause chronic pain that affects an individual’s ability to function normally.

Symptoms related to misaligned spines may include headaches, leg pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia / chronic pain, and spinal arthritis. Because the spine has so many nerves in and around it, a misalignment can affect the integrity of the whole body. A misaligned vertebra can pinch nerves, restrict blood flow, and cause inflammation that interferes with an individual’s quality of life.

If left untreated, the inflammation that spinal misalignment causes can also decrease an individual’s resistance to illness. This in turn may make chronic illness a common condition.

Correcting Spinal Misalignment

At the Charleston Pain Relief Center, Dr. Tharnish and her team aim to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by spinal misalignment, as well as assessing and repairing the damage done to the body as a result of subluxation. Spinal misalignment and the related symptoms are relatively common issues, and fortunately, these symptoms usually do not require surgical intervention to remedy. Our treatments for are non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical. Most relief methods involve simple spinal adjustment or manipulation. These treatments may be supplemented with other tools and additions like temperature therapy, physical therapy, and massage techniques to relieve pain and pressure.

Bulging Discs

Discs are composed of cartilage layers that provide cushioning between the vertebrae in the spine. They absorb shock and support the body’s weight as the spine moves throughout the day.

Foot Pain

There are several reasons why a person may experience foot pain. As such, people whose daily activities are negatively affected by foot pain may wonder what treatment options they have. Depending on the underlying cause of the pain, a chiropractor may be able to provide non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical relief.

It’s unclear what causes fibromyalgia, but it’s a common and chronic pain disorder affecting millions of people in the US. The development of fibromyalgia is likely related to the way the brain processes pain responses.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an irregular curvature of the spine. It often appears before puberty but can develop in adulthood as you age. Many cases of scoliosis are relatively minor, but some cases cause Chronic Pain, stiffness and other long-term issues.

Nerve Compression Pain

Nerve compression or “pinched nerves” occur when excess pressure is applied to nerves. This pressure can be from muscles, bones, or tendons, and when the pressure is placed, it disrupts the normal function of the nerve.

Herniated Discs

Herniated discs can impact your ability to perform daily tasks and affect your quality of life. Discs are located between the bones of your spine and act as shock absorbers.
