Neck Strain

By looking at our phones every minute of the day, neck strain isn’t hard to develop. A neck strain is not a serious injury, but it can cause discomfort and limit a person’s range of motion. At Carolina Chiropractic Center, Dr. James Huggins, Jr. offers a variety of services to treat neck strain. Some may include spinal manipulation and/or therapeutic exercise.

Neck strain is defined as an injury to the muscles and tendons that support and move the head and neck. Though neck strain isn’t associated with fractures or dislocations, it can be associated with nerve pain if not careful. If you feel a symptom of a pinched nerve, you should contact us immediately for a proper diagnosis and to discuss treatment options. It’s important to visit a chiropractor to treat neck pain to rule out a serious condition.

Abnormal Gait and Back Pain

Gait is a medical term for how a person walks. Abnormal gait can stem from certain conditions like whiplash, herniated discs, muscle strain, and/or arthritis. Regardless of the cause, an abnormal gait can lead to pain in the lower extremities such as the lumbar spine, legs, and feet. As a treatment option, Dr. James Huggins, Jr. of Carolina Chiropractic Center may suggest custom foot orthotics.

When a patient's gait is altered and left untreated, it ultimately weakens the muscles and joints, causing pain, arthritis, and increased susceptibility to injury. Foot orthotics are beneficial to help those with walking and alignment issues because they help realign the bones within the foot and ankle to take pressure off of the back, and hips. Additionally, orthotics help distribute weight evenly to take pressure off parts of the foot.
