Pain is one of the body’s many defense mechanisms. It is meant to act as a warning, informing the brain that there is something wrong—something that can potentially inflict more bodily harm. In many cases, pain is experienced in a flash and then subsides just as quickly. There are instances, however, when one remains in constant pain.

Pain can be a chronic problem, with some people even experiencing pain for years. Causes may vary, but certain medical conditions, past injuries, and a critical problem with the musculoskeletal structure are among the possible reasons for chronic pain. If you are suffering from pain and are looking for effective pain relief treatment, consult a chiropractor at our Manalapan-based practice at your earliest convenience.

These are warning signs that may indicate you have a spinal problem or any other form of musculoskeletal problems:

• Recurring Headaches
• Neck, Arm and Shoulder Pain
• Pain in the Upper or Mid Back
• Numbness or Tingling in Hands
• Energy Loss or Chronic Fatigue
• Lower Back and Leg Pain
• Numbness in the Legs and Feet
• Loss of Sleep Due to Your Pain
• Aches and Pains in Your Joints
• Abnormal Body Posture
• Scoliosis or Spinal Curvature

Don’t Ignore These Warning Signs. Call Us… Covered Bridge May Be Able To Help. We also have a massage therapist and medical Doctor on staff.

Chiropractors focus on correcting disordered vertebral joints, which include vertebrae and their boney projections (called facet joints and spinous or transverse processes), shock-absorbing cartilage discs, muscles, ligaments, and nervous tissue. Subluxations – abnormalities of this vertebral complex – affect health by impinging on nerve roots as they exit the complex through channels called intervertebral foramen.
