Conditions

Here you will find a list of conditions that are treated here at FPI as well as an overview of what it is, what causes it, methods of treatment, and any supporting materials for education.

Back Pain

Millions of Americans suffer from back pain every year. It can be acute or chronically debilitating. A majority do nothing about it and try to sit with the pain. Some rely on painkillers, which are addictive and dangerous. A different area may actually be suffering. Therefore, experiencing pain in your back may be your body’s way of compensating by overworking that area.

Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common complaint among athletes and can arise from various causes, including muscle strain, ligament sprains, poor posture, and repetitive movements during sports activities.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a common condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg.

Headaches

Headaches are a prevalent issue that can significantly impact an athlete's performance and overall well-being. Many factors can contribute to headaches, including stress, dehydration, and neurological conditions.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries are a common occurrence among athletes of all levels, ranging from minor sprains to more severe musculoskeletal conditions.

Herniated Disc

Herniated discs, also known as slipped discs or disc bulges, are common spinal conditions that can cause significant pain and discomfort. A herniated disc may cause pain, weakness, numbing in your arms or legs.

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder)

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) is a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint, causing pain and dysfunction in the jaw and surrounding muscles. FPI chiropractors specialize in the assessment and treatment of TMJ, focusing on techniques aimed at alleviating pain, improving jaw function, and enhancing overall oral health.

Hip Impingement

Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), is a condition where there is abnormal contact between the ball of the hip joint (femoral head) and the socket (acetabulum) of the pelvis. This contact can lead to pain, restricted range of motion, and potential damage to the hip joint over time.

Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common overuse injury that affects the tendons on the outer side of the elbow. It typically results from repetitive motions and strain, not limited to just tennis players but also affecting individuals engaged in various activities involving gripping and wrist extension. At FPI,  our chiropractors specialize in non-surgical treatments aimed at relieving pain, restoring function, and promoting long-term healing for tennis elbow.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can significantly impact daily activities and sports performance, often stemming from injuries, overuse, or underlying musculoskeletal conditions. At FPI, we specialize in effective, non-surgical treatments aimed at relieving shoulder pain, restoring mobility, and promoting recovery.

Cervical Whiplash

Cervical whiplash, commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents or sports injuries, refers to a sudden hyperextension and flexion of the neck. This rapid movement can cause strain and injury to the muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues in the cervical spine, leading to symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and restricted range of motion.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can arise from a variety of causes, including sports injuries, overuse, degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis, and biomechanical imbalances. At FPI, our sports chiropractors specialize in non-surgical treatments designed to alleviate knee pain, restore function, and enhance overall joint health.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, leading to compression of the spinal cord and nerves. This narrowing can result from degenerative changes in the spine, such as bone spurs, thickened ligaments, or herniated discs.

Muscle Strains

Muscle strains are common injuries that can occur during sports activities, physical labor, or everyday movements. They involve overstretching or tearing of muscle fibers and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and limited mobility.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a condition characterized by compression of nerves and blood vessels in the thoracic outlet area, which is the space between your collarbone (clavicle) and first rib. This compression can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm, and hand.
