While repositioning a joint can obviously help the joint work better, the extent of chiropractic care's powers goes far beyond easing joint stiffness and pain. That's because many kinds of subluxation, or joint misalignment, also have an effect on nerves, muscles, and other parts of the body. Vertebral imbalances can lead to pinched nerves that cause communication failures in major physical systems, while poor weight distribution can contribute to soft tissue problems. Our Boca Raton chiropractor, Dr. Caruso, can use chiropractic adjustment techniques to treat conditions such as sciatica, neck pain, back pain, herniated discs, arm or leg pain, sports injuries, auto accident injuries, repetitive motion injuries, headaches, migraines, and even systemic issues such as poor immune response or hypertension.
