Migraines affect more than a billion people worldwide, causing significant, often debilitating pain that can last hours or days. If you suffer from migraines, including throbbing or pulsing pain on one side of your head, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, chiropractic care can help alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, the doctors at Chiropractic Life Center also advise you on lifestyle issues, including ways to avoid your migraine triggers through exercise, nutrition, and managing stress.
Sciatica is leg pain that ranges in severity from a feeling similar to a bad leg cramp to unbearable pain that shoots up and down your leg and makes standing or sitting nearly impossible. If you suffer from these symptoms, expert chiropractic care can help to make sure that sciatica doesn’t interfere with your everyday life any longer.
Also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, a herniated disc is a relatively common condition that occurs along your backbone when one of the rubbery cushions, known as discs, between the individual bones that make up your spine moves out of position and presses on adjacent nerves. If you suffer from pain, numbness or weakness in one of your arms or legs due to a herniated disc, we offer a number of noninvasive treatment options.
More and more jobs require working at a desk on a computer for long periods of time. When you work in a poorly designed workspace, your body suffers, particularly if you work on a computer. Often the negative effects don’t get felt immediately. That’s why Drs. Leo and Courtney Meltvedt can work with you on ways you can avoid developing problems with your back, neck, shoulders, hands, and wrists. Should you find yourself in pain due to poor ergonomic conditions, we can help retrain the spine and body to be a normal position and show you the proper way to do neck wall traction through the use of the Pettibon System, as well as with stabilization techniques and strengthening exercises.
If you have an injury, work-related or otherwise, Drs. Leo and Courtney Meltvedt use motion X-rays to diagnose and treat you appropriately.

CTS is, more likely than not, Double Crush. Double Crush is a condition where more than one insult is being experienced by the nerves of the arm. These points in the neck, ribcage, shoulder, biceps, elbow, forearm and wrist must be assessed to correct and alleviate CTS. Any one or combination of these areas can lead to CTS symptoms. Instead of getting cut or stuck in a brace, get checked, sometimes the fix is as easy as a few adjustments!
