When to Seek Care

Most people know that Chiropractic therapy is typically the best solution to treat back pain, but many don't understand how other pain conditions can be effectively treated as well. Most head, body and limb pain that is not attributed to specific disease is caused by irritated or pinched nerves originating from the spinal cord. Once a nerve is inflamed, pressed or otherwise irritated, it sends signals along its nerve paths that can create pain, from minor to debilitating, in distant areas. For example, an irritated nerve at the top of the spine can cause serious headaches and/or pain in one's jaw; an inflamed nerve at the base of the spine can create pain in the hips, legs and even the feet.

While it is natural to expect some loss of body function with age, many conditions are wrongly attributed to simply being part of getting older and are therefore left ignored, when in fact they can be successfully treated.

At Etheredge Chiropractic, our doctors are as concerned with preventing pain episodes as we are treating them, and we highly recommend seeking professional help for any pain condition that is either unexplained or does not improve within a day or two. Pain is not a disease, it is a messenger - if pain is telling you that something is wrong, seek treatment quickly, so that minor pain episodes don't become potentially chronic ones.

We offer every new patient a free, no obligation consultation with one of our doctors, so you can find out if Chiropractic treatment is right for you.

We welcome Workers' Comp and personal injury cases, and honor many insurance plans. To find out if yours is among them, simply give us a call at 352-365-1191 and we'll be happy to check for you. If your insurance plan doesn't cover Chiropractic care, we offer flexible payment options that will make seeking treatment easy.
