What is Chiropractic care?

To start, our team examines the area of pain to determine the root cause and the best treatment.

What is Upper Cervical Care?

Upper Cervical refers to the top bones in your neck including the base of your skull, where the brainstem is housed. Because of all of the neurologic pathways that go through this area, it’s extremely important that the spine functions correctly in order to prevent interference that may lead to any number of health conditions and symptoms. Upper Cervical issues prevent the nerves and blood vessels from functioning efficiently. Upper cervical chiropractors restore proper structural balance to the upper neck to decrease this irritation and improve the communication through the upper neck region. Along with 4 years of chiropractic college, upper cervical doctors receive additional post-graduate training in order to specialize in this area. This includes advanced studies in anatomy, neurology, biomechanics, radiology, instrumentation and the corrective procedures specific to the upper cervical spine. Dr. Porter has attended many upper cervical seminars and has trained in multiple upper cervical techniques in order to provide the best Upper Cervical care to Arab AL.

herniated disc Madison AL

Herniated Disc Arab AL

One of the most unique structures of the human body is the spinal disc. Also called intervertebral discs, they are composed of an inner gel-like center surrounded by cartilage. They are built to absorb impact within the spine and increase spinal mobility. After decades of use, the discs wear out, lose fluid, and make the body more susceptible to injury. If you think you may have a protruding disc or herniated disc, contact us today to set up an appointment. Chiropractic care can provide both short-term pain relief and long-term recovery from disc injuries.

Sciatica Arab AL

The sciatic nerve runs along the lower back down into both legs. When the sciatic nerve becomes compressed, pain can usually be felt on one side of the body. This pain is called Sciatica. Chiropractic treatment can not only relieve sciatic pain but in some cases can prevent surgery. Schedule an appointment today to begin treating your pain and preventing further damage!
