Sports Related Injuries

Many athletes are sidelined with sports injuries that could have been avoided, or because their injuries do not respond to traditional medical care.  In the first case, chiropractic care in prior to the sports activity might have prevented the injury, and in the second, chiropractic care can solve  problems that traditional medical care often cannot.
Some injured athletes continue to play, but at less than peak efficiency because their structural system is not balanced. More and more, coaches and athletes are turning away from pain-killing drugs, because they recognize that such drugs just mask the pain, and do not address the cause of the pain. Such a strategy often worsens the injury, possibly making full recovery impossible.
However, the best thing about chiropractic is not only that it is drug-free and surgery-free care, but also that it is also preventative and performance enhancing care. Maintaining proper spinal alignment puts athletes in a state of peak efficiency, and adjustment after competition speeds the recuperative process after the stress of their particular event.

Work Related Injuries

Is a work related injury preventing you from getting back to work? If you are injured while working, you must first report this to your employer. This action must be taken as soon as possible after the injury.
Injuries on the job of the back/spine can be caused by repetitive motion injury. Most frequently the strain or sprain occurs in the lower back. Bending and lifting improperly are responsible for most of these cases, although neck and mid-back injuries can also occur in similar situations.
Sayer Chiropractic's work related injury treatment provides effective relief for many work related injuries and does not require hospitalization, surgery, or medication.

Auto Accident Injuries

If you have been involved in a car accident you may need chiropractic care. Insurance companies realize the many advantages of chiropractic care, therefore chiropractic treatment is usually fully covered by automobile insurance policies.  There is usually coverage whether you were the driver, a passenger, or a pedestrian. We will help you submit the necessary insurance paper work and file a claim with your insurance company. Even if you are not currently in pain, there may be underlying hidden damage to your spinal column, which may not appear for weeks, months or even years. 
A rapid movement of the head causes whiplash, either backward, forward, or sideways, that results in the damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues in the neck and upper back. Other accident injuries symptoms that can occur are neck pain, low back pain, headaches, TMJ pain, dizziness, and brain injury.
A visit to our office may end up saving you years of grief and unrelenting pain. At Sayer Chiropractic, our Chiropractor is experienced when dealing with auto accident injuries that need chiropractic treatment.

Shoulder and Neck Pain

Irritated nerves from the cervical spine are often the cause of problems in the shoulder. The nerves from the cervical spine connect to the muscles and tissues of the shoulder, so if these nerves are irritated, tightening or weakening of the shoulder muscles occur. This leads to a dysfunctional shoulder, usually a mechanically compromised rotator cuff. If one slouches forward while standing or sitting, or if one overuses the shoulder in tennis or golf, or in repetitive motion activities in the workplace, the shoulder joint muscles can become strained or tightened.
Your neck and shoulders contain muscles, bones, nerves, arteries, and veins, as well as many ligaments and other supporting structures. Many conditions can cause pain in the neck and shoulder area. Some are life threatening (such as heart attack and major trauma), and others are not so dangerous (such as simple strains or contusions).
Most shoulder and neck pain results from injury to muscles and ligaments. The spinal cord, heart, lungs, and some abdominal organs also can cause neck and shoulder pain. If you are having shoulder and neck pain, contact Sayer Chiropractic to get an exam before this problem gets worse.

Lower Back Pain

Many things can cause lower back pain including; sports or work injuries, sleeping on a poor quality mattress, mowing the lawn or something as simple as picking up your baby or child 10 times a day can cause lower back pain. Whatever the cause is, lower back pain is usually caused when a ligament or muscle holding a vertebra in its proper position is strained. Vertebrae are bones that make up the spinal column through which the spinal cord passes. When these muscles or ligaments become weak, the spine loses its stability, resulting in pain. Because nerves reach all parts of the body from the spinal cord, back problems can lead to pain or weakness in almost any part of the body.
Low back pain can occur if your job involves lifting and carrying heavy objects, or if you spend a lot of time sitting or standing in one position or bending over. It can be caused by a fall or exercise. Our chiropractors are experts in lower back pain and can pinpoint your problem and get you back to a healthy and pain free state.
Back pain may occur when the muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissues of the back become inflamed as a result of an infection or an immune system problem.
If you have experienced lower back pain, give us a call to set up an free consultation at 517-394-2550.

Pain in Arms or Legs

The cause of many instances of shoulder or arm pain is obvious. You do something to injure the arm or shoulder and immediately feel pain, such as in a sports injury or on the job injury. You may have broken a bone or dislocated your shoulder. Perhaps you strained tendons or ligaments by carrying too much weight for too long, by lifting something that was too heavy, overreaching or overexerting your arm-as when playing sports when you're out of shape-or by keeping your arm in an awkward position or even by sleeping on the shoulder. The resulting pain may range from an annoying ache to an acute pain that makes it hard for you to use the injured arm.
Legs are generally abused from standing or sitting for long periods of time. It is important to stretch, massage, and incorporate joint movement to get pain relief. Our Lansing Chiropractors will pinpoint the cause of the pain in your legs and arms and start a treatment program to help you recover and feel healthy again.

Headaches

If you suffer from incapacitating headaches, just a few minutes with the doctor may change your life. Your headaches are not necessarily caused by chemical imbalance or stress. It could be that you have an easily correctable condition in which your neck muscles and joints are actually irritating the delicate nerves which control muscle tension and blood flow, resulting in a headache that medication will never cure! It may turn out that all you need is a simple headache evaluation to determine if you are needlessly suffering, and that the beginning of the end of your suffering may be only days away, through chiropractic treatment.
