Years of back abuse - such as poor posture, improper lifting, and lack of body conditioning - make the back prone to injury. The lower back is particularly vulnerable; its major weight-bearing joints can be pushed out of alignment with painful results. Other pain-sensitive structures can be stretched, torn, and distorted. Using spinal adjustments and other techniques, your doctor of chiropractic can treat many of the common low back problems. Read about the causes and cures of back problems here.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common and troublesome condition that interferes with the use of the hand. It is caused when too much pressure is put on a nerve that runs through your wrist. A variety of anatomical abnormalities may be responsible for this vise-like pressure. Once symptoms of pain and tingling appear, the condition frequently worsens and permanent nerve damage may occur. However, CTS is highly treatable if diagnosed early. Read about Carpal Tunnel here.

Headaches are a distress signal, your body telling you something's out of balance. Pain relievers may temporarily turn off the alarm switch, but usually don't put out the fire. Your chiropractor, however, can diagnose your type of headache - often tension or migraine - treat its underlying physical causes, and help you learn how to prevent headaches in the future.
