Conditions

  • Back pain prompts many to seek chiropractic care at Keesee Sports Chiropractic for treatment. We encounter patients with diverse back pain experiences, from mild discomfort to total immobility.

    Back pain affects individuals of all ages, athletic abilities, and activity levels. If you experience any level of back discomfort or if your mobility is hindered due to back problems, a chiropractor may help.

    Remember, when your body is in pain, it's signaling that something isn't quite right. Identifying the root cause of the pain is the crucial first step. Addressing the underlying issue not only relieves discomfort but also promotes improved function, preventing more significant problems.

  • While we typically associate the spine with the back, it begins in the neck. Known as the cervical spine, this section comprises seven vertebrae responsible for supporting the head.

    In today's digital age, our neck muscles are frequently engaged due to our interactions with devices and electronics. Whether it's social media, browsing your phone, using a tablet, managing your remote work setup, or watching TV, your neck is consistently utilized, often in incorrect postures.

  • Individuals who prioritize an active lifestyle often subject their bodies to more stress than those who don't. We cater to patients at various stages, from weekend warriors to professional athletes. Our approach involves working closely with patients, tailoring treatments to their specific sport or activity. This includes a focus on target muscle groups, joints, and common injuries resulting from overuse.

  • The hip is a remarkably intricate and mobile joint, serving as a keystone for various daily activities and a central component in the mechanics of movement.
