Supporting your body’s foundation.
YYour spine supports every movement, nerve signal, and posture you hold throughout the day. When alignment or mobility is compromised, it can cause pain, stiffness, or dysfunction that affects your overall health. Chiropractic care restores spinal balance, relieves tension, and promotes long-term mobility.
Head & Neck Pain
Definition:
Neck and back pain are among the most common musculoskeletal complaints, often caused by poor posture, repetitive strain, disc issues, or stress-related muscle tension.
Symptoms:
- Stiffness or limited range of motion
- Sharp or dull aching pain
- Muscle tightness, headaches, or shoulder tension
Treatment Approach:
Dr. Kareem focuses on restoring joint motion and relieving pressure through gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and posture correction. Patients may also receive home exercise recommendations to improve strength and prevent recurrence.
Stiffness & Scoliosis
Definition:
Spinal stiffness often results from prolonged inactivity, posture imbalance, or degenerative changes. Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause uneven tension, fatigue, or discomfort.
Symptoms:
- Limited flexibility or difficulty bending
- Muscle tightness along one side of the back
- Shoulder or hip imbalance
Treatment Approach:
Using a combination of spinal adjustments, stretching protocols, and postural retraining, Dr. Kareem helps improve range of motion and reduce muscle tension. In scoliosis cases, care focuses on maintaining mobility and minimizing discomfort.
Sciatica
Definition:
Sciatica is nerve pain that travels along the sciatic nerve — from the lower back through the hips, glutes, and down one or both legs — often caused by disc herniation or spinal misalignment.
Symptoms:
- Sharp or burning pain radiating down the leg
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the lower extremities
- Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or standing
Treatment Approach:
Chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve by improving spinal and pelvic alignment. Complementary care may include soft tissue therapy, stretching, and ergonomic guidance to prevent recurrence.
Radiculopathy
Definition:
Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve root is compressed or irritated, leading to pain, weakness, or tingling radiating from the spine to the arms or legs.
Symptoms:
- Shooting or radiating pain
- Numbness or muscle weakness
- Reduced coordination in affected limbs
Treatment Approach:
Dr. Kareem uses spinal decompression and adjustment techniques to reduce nerve compression, restore proper alignment, and relieve inflammation. Exercises and mobility work are added to support long-term recovery.
