Chiropractic Care

If back, neck, or other joint pains, such as shoulder or knee pain, are preventing you from enjoying your normal activities, chances are Dr. Robert Nichols, Dr. Stephan Mavissakalian, and Dr. Curtis Riffle of Advanced Orthopedics & Physical Therapy in Cleveland and Euclid, Ohio can help you reclaim your active lifestyle.

If you suffer from any of the following conditions, chiropractic care can help detect the cause of your pain and release pressure on the affected nerve(s) to eliminate the pain and restore joint function.

• Neck and back pain
• Herniated disc
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Sciatica
• Muscle spasms
• Restricted motion
• Scoliosis and other congenital spine disorders
• Spondylolisthesis
• Headaches
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Other joint pain

When combined with other treatments such as physical therapy, massage therapy, or acupuncture, chiropractic care is even more effective.

How Does Chiropractic Work?

Nerves from the spinal cord transport nerve impulses throughout your body. These nerves can become pinched due to misalignments of the spinal vertebrae or damage to the surrounding tissue. When this happens, your body does not function as efficiently and optimally as it should, and your overall health suffers.

Our doctors correct these misalignments by gently adjusting the position of the vertebrae of the spine, which relieves pressure on the nerve (nerve impingement), restores the nerve’s ability to transmit signals to the brain more freely, and enables your body to function at its highest level possible. Adjustment and treatment procedures are customized to fit the patient’s needs.
