Chiropractic care in South Philadelphia, PA, can ease many painful conditions. A healthy spine keeps the whole body in balance. When you consult with Dr. Nancy Mirarchi at Mirarchi Chiropractic Health Center, she'll evaluate your body and treat conditions ranging from nerve pain to sports injuries.
When you get a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Mirarchi will apply direct pressure to a spinal joint to ease it back into place. This treatment can help correct posture and alignment issues. By ensuring alignment, you reduce the likelihood of nerve or soft tissue compression.
Sciatica
Nerve compression is the source of a great deal of pain for many Americans. Sciatica is one such condition, and it affects the largest nerve in the body. Your sciatic nerve starts at the lower back and spans through your pelvis and to the back of the heels. A bulging or herniated disc can pinche this nerve at its origin and create lingering pain in the lower half of the body. Through a series of chiropractic adjustments, you can treat sciatica pain and reduce pressure on the nerve.
Arthritis
Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the joints. People who have arthritis experience pain and decreased range of motion. By working with Dr. Mirarchi in South Philadelphia, PA, you can increase your flexibility. In addition to using adjustments to reduce pressure on the cartilage in the spinal joints, she provides electrical muscle stimulation therapy. Some people with arthritis benefit from the application of electrical pulses to the soft tissue as the pulses can increase circulation and relax tension.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Over time, spinal discs may experience a loss of the fluid in their centers or the cartilage that forms their outer ring. This can be due to injury or other conditions. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve associated pain and reduce the likelihood of the discs bulging.
Sports Health
Athletes put stress on their bodies. Regardless of the sport, bones, ligaments, joints, and muscles work overtime so the athletic body can remain competitive. Regardless of how in shape an active person is, they may suffer injuries, want to prevent recurring ones, or need rehabilitation. Dr. Mirarchi goes beyond treating an injury in isolation. Thanks to her understanding of the musculoskeletal system and how these different components work together, she can help active people achieve the whole-body care they need.
