Conditions We Help
Chiropractic Care for Common Spine and Joint Problems.
At Tweeton Family Chiropractic, we help patients of all ages with a variety of spine, joint, and movement-related concerns.
Many people come to our office because they are dealing with pain, stiffness, reduced motion, or discomfort that is interfering with work, sleep, family life, or daily activities. Others come in for ongoing chiropractic care to help maintain better movement and function.
Below are some of the common conditions and concerns we see in our office.
common conditions we see
Low Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care.
Whether your low back pain started after lifting, bending, working, sitting too long, exercising, or simply waking up sore, chiropractic care may help improve spinal movement, reduce irritation, and support better function.
If you are dealing with low back pain in Washington, Iowa, we would be glad to help you determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your situation.
Neck Pain
Neck pain can come from posture, work positions, sleeping wrong, stress, injuries, or day-to-day strain.
Patients often describe neck pain as stiffness, tightness, soreness, sharp pain, or difficulty turning the head. Chiropractic care focuses on improving motion and function in the joints of the neck and upper back, which may help reduce irritation and discomfort.
Headaches
Certain types of headaches may be related to tension, posture, neck stiffness, or irritation in the upper back and neck.
While not every headache is a chiropractic case, some patients with tension-type headaches or headaches associated with neck pain may benefit from chiropractic evaluation and care.
If you are dealing with recurring headaches, we can help evaluate whether chiropractic care may be appropriate or whether another type of care may be needed.
Mid Back Pain
Mid back pain often shows up between the shoulder blades or through the rib and thoracic spine area.
This type of discomfort may be related to posture, desk work, lifting, twisting, repetitive work, sleeping position, or general spinal stiffness. Chiropractic care may help improve motion in the mid back and reduce stress through the spine and surrounding joints.
Extremity Care
In addition to the spine, we also work with certain problems involving the arms and legs.
This may include concerns involving areas such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, or feet. When appropriate, chiropractic care may include evaluation and treatment of extremity joints to help improve motion and function.
If you are dealing with an arm or leg issue and are unsure whether chiropractic care may help, please call our office and we can help answer your questions.
Pediatric Chiropractic
We also see children and families in our office.
Pediatric chiropractic care is different from adult care. With children, the approach is typically gentle and adapted to the child’s age, size, and needs. Parents often bring children in for posture concerns, sports-related strain, general spinal wellness, or because they want a chiropractic evaluation from a family-oriented office.
If you have questions about whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for your child, we would be glad to talk with you.
Geriatric Chiropractic Care
We also provide chiropractic care for older adults.
As people age, it is common to experience more stiffness, reduced mobility, balance concerns, arthritis-related joint changes, and general aches and pains that can affect daily life. Chiropractic care for older adults is adapted to the individual patient’s age, comfort level, health history, and specific needs.
For older adults, chiropractic care may help support better movement, comfort, and function so they can continue doing the daily activities that matter to them.
