-
Back pain can develop from joint restriction, muscle tension, repetitive stress, injuries, or movement-related problems. At Foundations Health & Wellness, we evaluate how your spine, muscles, and movement patterns may be contributing to your symptoms. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft-tissue therapy, and corrective exercises to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function.
-
Neck pain is commonly associated with joint stiffness, muscle tension, prolonged sitting, repetitive stress, or previous injuries. Treatment is personalized based on the underlying mechanical factors contributing to your symptoms and may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft-tissue therapy, mobility work, and corrective exercises to improve movement and function.
-
Shoulder pain may be related to rotator cuff problems, tendon irritation, muscle tension, joint restriction, repetitive activity, or sports injuries. We evaluate the shoulder along with the neck, upper back, and surrounding muscles. Treatment may incorporate chiropractic care, dry needling, shockwave therapy, soft-tissue treatment, and corrective exercises depending on your condition.
-
Knee pain can develop from overuse, sports injuries, tendon irritation, joint problems, or movement dysfunction involving the hips, knees, ankles, and feet. We look beyond the painful area to identify factors that may be contributing to the problem. Treatment may include chiropractic care, shockwave therapy, soft-tissue treatment, mobility work, and strengthening exercises.
-
Plantar fasciitis commonly causes heel or arch pain that is worse with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest. Treatment may address the foot and ankle as well as contributing movement problems throughout the lower extremity. Care may include shockwave therapy, chiropractic care, soft-tissue treatment, mobility exercises, and strengthening.
-
Persistent elbow pain is often associated with repetitive gripping, lifting, sports, or irritation of the tendons surrounding the elbow. These problems can affect athletes as well as people who work with their hands. Treatment may include shockwave therapy, dry needling, soft-tissue treatment, joint mobility work, and progressive strengthening exercises.
-
Achilles tendon pain commonly develops from running, jumping, sudden increases in activity, or repetitive loading of the calf and ankle. Persistent tendon problems often require more than simply resting the area. Depending on your examination, treatment may include shockwave therapy, soft-tissue treatment, ankle mobility work, and progressive strengthening exercises.
-
Sciatica can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or discomfort that travels from the lower back or hip into the leg. Because several different problems can produce sciatica-like symptoms, identifying the source is important. Depending on your examination, treatment may include chiropractic care, dry needling, soft-tissue therapy, mobility work, and corrective exercises.
-
Hip pain can result from muscle tension, joint restriction, tendon irritation, repetitive activity, or movement problems involving the pelvis and lower extremity. We evaluate the hip along with the lower back, pelvis, knees, and surrounding muscles. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft-tissue therapy, mobility work, and corrective exercises.
-
Some headaches may be associated with neck stiffness, muscle tension, posture, or irritation involving the joints and muscles of the cervical spine. After determining whether your symptoms are appropriate for conservative care, treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft-tissue therapy, mobility exercises, and recommendations for contributing mechanical factors.
-
Sports injuries can affect muscles, joints, tendons, and movement patterns throughout the body. Whether your goal is returning to running, lifting, golf, pickleball, or another activity, treatment is tailored to your specific injury and goals. Care may combine chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, shockwave therapy, soft-tissue treatment, and corrective exercises.
-
Persistent muscle tightness and trigger points can contribute to pain, restricted movement, and difficulty performing everyday or athletic activities. We evaluate why the affected muscles may be overloaded rather than focusing only on the painful area. Treatment may include dry needling, soft-tissue therapy, chiropractic care, mobility work, and corrective exercises.
-
Jaw pain and TMJ symptoms may involve tension in the jaw muscles, restricted movement, clenching, or contributing dysfunction in the neck and surrounding structures. Treatment is based on your individual examination and may incorporate chiropractic care, dry needling, soft-tissue treatment, mobility work, and exercises designed to address contributing musculoskeletal factors.
-
Persistent tendon pain can develop when repetitive loading exceeds a tendon's ability to recover. Common areas include the shoulder, elbow, knee, Achilles tendon, and foot. Depending on the location and severity of the problem, treatment may include shockwave therapy, dry needling, soft-tissue treatment, mobility work, and progressive strengthening exercises.
-
Stiffness or restricted movement can result from joint limitations, muscle tension, previous injuries, repetitive activity, or movement habits. We evaluate how your joints and muscles work together to identify areas that may be contributing to the restriction. Treatment may combine chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft-tissue therapy, mobility exercises, and corrective movement strategies.
