Auto Injuries
Even a “minor” crash can result in serious injuries like ligament sprains. This can lead to chronic pain and disability if not treated properly. In fact, research shows that early treatment is the best way to prevent long-term symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments are effective because they help restore the healthy, normal function of your nervous system without the use of drugs or surgery.
Back Pain
Since back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, it is vital to know how to prevent the cause of back pain. By maintaining a healthy diet and weight, remaining active and avoiding prolonged inactivity or bed rest are all important ways to avoid back pain. Before doing exercises or any physical activity, it is recommended to warm up and/or stretch.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
CTS is a problem of the median nerve which runs from the forearm into the hand. When there is excessive pressure in the wrist, it causes swelling of the median nerve. This small area called the carpal tunnel is a narrow tunnel at the wrist made up of bones, soft tissues, nerves, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. When the median nerve which runs through this tunnel gets compressed it causes pain, weakness, numbness or tingling in the hand and wrist which radiates into the forearm. The carpal tunnel is the most common area that gets compressed in both the hands and feet.
CTS should be diagnosed and treated early. During your consultation, you will receive a standard physical examination of the hands, arms, shoulders and neck to help determine if your symptoms are related to daily activities or to an underlying disorder. Our highly skilled chiropractor will also utilize other orthopedic tests to try to produce the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Laboratory tests and x-rays can reveal diabetes, arthritis, fractures, and other common causes of wrist and hand pain.
Headaches/ Migraines
Nine out of ten Americans say that they suffer from headaches. Some of these people experience headaches frequently. Some experience constant headaches that are very painful. These can even make a person nauseous. Ninety-five percent of headaches are tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused from a disease, but from something in your body that is not sitting correctly.
Knee Pain
Knee pain is increasingly becoming a more common problem in society. It is a complaint we see frequently. The most common complaint associated with knee pain is considered the normal “wear and tear.” Another ailment that affects the knee is osteoarthritis. The symptoms and progression of osteoarthritis and knee pain can be reduced through our individualized approach to chiropractic care.
Neck Pain
The neck, also called the cervical spine, begins at the base of the skull and contains seven small vertebrae. The cervical spine supports the full weight of your head which is on average about 12 pounds. While the cervical spine can move your head in nearly every direction, this flexibility makes the neck very susceptible to pain and injury.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a medical condition caused by damaged nerve cells and often associated with autoimmune diseases, infections, diabetes, tumors, or hereditary conditions. Peripheral neuropathy currently affects over 20 million people in the United States with symptoms ranging from tingling or burning pain and nausea to muscle spasms, difficulty moving your arms or legs, or atrophy.
Sciatica
Sciatica is characterized by pain in the lower back that radiates down one or both legs. The pain is described as dull, achy, sharp, like “pins and needles” or similar to electric shocks. Other symptoms associated with sciatica include burning, numbness and tingling sensations. Sciatic nerve pain varies in intensity from mild to severe, and frequency may range from occasional to constant. The onset is generally gradual and not necessarily associated with a previous event. Sciatica is also known as radiating or referred pain, neuropathy, or neuralgia.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a very common condition and affects almost half of the U.S. Most patients feel some sort of pain, limited range of motion, an inability to engage in activities of daily living (ADL) or something more serious as a permanent disability.
Sports Injury
Sports can be very taxing on your body, no matter what you play. Our trusted staff will work with you to get to the root of your problem and help you feel better again. We help treat and also prevent injuries in the neck, back, shoulders, knees, and ankles. We are able to manually adjust your spine, relieving any pain that you are feeling. This will allow your body to function much better after the injury.
Work Injuries
Workplace injuries don’t only occur during traumatic slips and falls at work but are more often than not, the result of repetitive movements, and caused by doing the physical demands required of your job over an extended period of time. These types of workplace injuries are all too common in today’s workforce and are best identified by their symptoms.
- Lower back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Carpal tunnel and hand pain
- Disc injuries
- Sciatica (pain caused by the sciatic nerve in your lower back and legs)
- Joint pain
Being examined by a chiropractor is often the first step in identifying and treating a workplace injury through non-invasive care which is why Henry Wellness Center conducts thorough examinations during his first session with new patients in order to better assess their injury. Since workplace injuries usually develop over time, it’s important to share all the symptoms you may be experiencing so we can identify the root cause.
Tennis Elbow
Also known as lateral epicondylitis, tennis elbow is an overuse and muscle strain injury in which the tendons in your elbow are overworked, causing severe pain and discomfort. The pain primarily occurs where your forearm muscle tendons attach to the bony bump on the outside of your elbow.
This painful condition is not exclusive to athletes and affects people frequently engaging in strenuous, repetitive wrist and arm motions such as home service professionals like carpenters, handymen, and painters. Tennis elbow can be identified through the presence of the following symptoms:
- Pain radiating from the outside of your elbow into your forearm and wrist
- Weakness in your hands and wrists
- Elbow or wrist stiffness
To treat your tennis elbow, our chiropractor may prescribe certain exercises or massages to alleviate the pain, to wear an elbow strap, refrain from strenuous activity, or take medicine such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin, to help your body heal.
If you are experiencing the symptoms mentioned above or suffering from tennis elbow, call us today at (404) 518-6825 to request your appointment at Henry Wellness Center with our chiropractor.

Golfer’s Elbow
While not limited to golfers, golfer’s elbow or medial epicondylitis is a condition that causes pain to the inside of your arm where the muscles in your forearm attach to the bony bump found on the inside of your elbow.
This is caused by damage to your muscles and tendons that control your wrist and fingers. Golfer’s elbow is relatively common and caused by the excessive use or repetitive stress to your arm with the pain often spreading into your forearm and wrist. Golfer’s elbow is best characterized by these symptoms:
- Severe discomfort or pain on the inner side of your forearm
- Weakness in your hands and wrists
- Elbow or wrist stiffness
- Feeling a pins and needles sensation on your forearm or elbow
- Your elbow is inflamed, and you may be running a fever
- Tingling in the fingers of your affected arm
To treat your golfer’s elbow, our chiropractor may prescribe specific therapies, exercises or massages to alleviate the pain and tension, to wear a brace, and refrain from strenuous activity or intense muscle and tendon strain to allow your body time to heal. To prevent medial epicondylitis from occurring again, our chiropractor may recommend for you to engage in weight strengthening and frequently stretch the affected arm.
If you are experiencing the symptoms mentioned above or suffering from golfer’s elbow, call us today at (404) 518-6825 to request your appointment at Henry Wellness Center with our chiropractor.
