Did you know that there are many ailments and conditions that respond well to chiropractic care? Sciatica, headaches, auto accident injuries, neck and low back pain are just a few conditions that Dr. Ressler, Oviedo’s best chiropractor can treat using conservative and gentle chiropractic care techniques!
Back pain affects 80% of the population and is usually the number one ailment associated with chiropractic care. Back pain affects many people of all ages and is often the result of a strain/sprain. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor, tells his patients to “watch your body mechanics when playing sports or lifting heavy weights. This is because improper performance of these activities can result in a sprain or strain.” Strains/sprains are when the ligaments that hold your bones/joints together become torn or overstretched. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: pain, radiating pain into the legs, swelling and limited range of motion. Returning the joints back to the normal position will restore the joint integrity and stop the pain.
Neck pain is another popular reason why people seek help from a chiropractor. Neck or back pain can feel like a burning, sharp or dull sensation. Some people may also feel numbness and tingling down the arms. Did you know that pain in your neck or back doesn’t necessarily have be a result from injury? Patients sometimes will schedule an appointment with Oviedo Injury and Wellness Center because they wake up with pain from “sleeping wrong” or poor work posture (sitting at desk wrong). Headaches may also be caused from neck pain and are another common condition treated with chiropractic care. Headaches produced from a neck misalignment often cause pain in the back of the head or temples. This is one way you can tell the difference between a headache caused from a misalignment in the neck versus a cluster headache or migraine. Dr. Ressler uses a spring-loaded instrument called an “activator” to alleviate neck and back pain. The activator sends a gentle force into the joint and moves it back into place. It is pain free and involves no harsh twisting or cracking of the neck or low back.
Patients that have been involved in an auto accident may have injury called a “herniated disc.” Herniated discs usually occur in the neck or low back. Symptoms may vary but are usually pain along with numbness and tingling. It is very important to see a medical professional that is specifically trained to treat herniations, such as a chiropractor. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor uses a special table called a “flexion distraction” table that is specifically designed to treat disc injuries and prevent surgery.
Whiplash is an injury commonly sustained from a rear-end auto accident. One important factor to consider with a whiplash injury is that whether it was a minor or a major accident. This type of injury may not be felt for days or even weeks after the accident. A new law in Florida gives you only 14 days from the accident to be evaluated. If you do not receive an evaluation within the 14-day rule, you will lose all your medical coverage for treatment related to your accident. Unfortunately, some people do not feel that they have been injured because the accident was minor. They wait until after the14 day mark to make an appointment because they start to feel symptoms after a few weeks. By this time, it is too late, and they will have to pay out of pocket for the medical care they need. If you or a loved one has been involved in an auto accident, don’t wait until it’s too late!

As people age, they may develop a condition called “degenerative disc disease.” This occurs when the discs that act as the cushions between the vertebrae in your spine break down from overuse or misuse. Degenerative disc disease causes the discs to become dehydrated and thin out. Therefore, the degenerated discs lose their flexibility and ability to absorb shock. This inhibits your range of motion and may lead to injury from physical activity. Therefore, people from all ages can benefit from chiropractic care. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo’s chiropractor can give you recommendations of lifestyle modifications and specific stretches to help you achieve better range of motion and prevent future injury.
Have you heard the term “Sciatica?” This term is used when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated/compressed. The irritated sciatic nerve starts to produce pain that may be moderate to severe. Often pain from sciatica tends to be sharp and radiates down one leg. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor uses a special table called a “flexion distraction table” to treat this condition. It is designed to treat disc injuries and prevent surgery.
