When most people think of chiropractors, they think of someone who “cracks backs” or “fixes spine pain.” And while that’s definitely part of what we do at Highland Spine and Sport in Roanoke, it’s just the beginning.
Chiropractic care today is a modern, evidence-informed approach to helping people feel better, move better, and perform better—whether you’re dealing with nagging joint pain, sports injuries, headaches, or just want to improve how your body functions day to day.
Here are 5 surprising conditions chiropractors can help with, that go way beyond the spine:
Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and even some migraines can often stem from dysfunction in the neck and upper back. Poor posture, tight muscles, and restricted movement can all refer pain upward.
Chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and specific exercises can reduce frequency and intensity—without relying on medication.
At Highland Spine and Sport, we treat the whole musculoskeletal system, not just the spine. If your pain is related to movement dysfunction, joint imbalances, overuse, or poor mechanics, we can help.
We use treatments like:
