What We Treat | Our Chiropractic Services
Lower back pain is a warning sign that your body needs attention. It may result from poor posture, muscle strain, disc problems, or stress, and emotional tension can make the discomfort feel even more severe.
Relying only on pain relievers may provide short-term relief, but it doesn’t address the underlying cause. It’s like removing the battery from a smoke detector—you silence the alarm but leave the problem unresolved.
Kids may feel “growing pains,” a sore back after sports, or neck/shoulder aches from screens and backpacks—sometimes it shows up as restlessness or poor sleep.
Parents often see: Posture changes, sports strains, backpack/screen-time aches.
Chiropractic care we use: Light, age-appropriate chiropractic, playful mobility, and easy home tips.
A sharp catch in the back or an electric line down the leg; coughing, sneezing, or bending can spike it—numbness or weakness may follow.
Feels like: Sharp back pain, pain down the leg, tingling or weakness.
Chiropractic relief plan: Non-surgical decompression, precise chiropractic care, MLS® laser, stabilizing rehab.
Pins and needles, burning, or a “sleepy” hand/foot can make fine tasks clumsy and disturb sleep—often a sign your nerves need more space.
Common patterns: Hand/arm or leg/foot tingling, grip weakness, foot “falls asleep.”
Chiropractic factors: neck/low-back nerve irritation or tunnel tightness at wrist/ankle.
Chiropractic steps that help: Targeted chiropractic adjustments, ergonomic fixes, and decompression when pressure is present.
A dull ache under the kneecap, a sharp catch on stairs, stiffness after sitting, or swelling with clicks/pops—knee pain makes every step cautious.
Chiropractic factors: Patellar tracking issues, overuse, hip/ankle mechanics, muscle imbalance.
Chiropractic techniques that work: Joint mobilization, soft-tissue care, MLS® laser for swelling, and corrective strength/balance training.
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine using the Hill DT Decompression Table to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This allows discs to rehydrate, reduces inflammation, and restores mobility—without surgery or medication.
What conditions does it treat?
- Herniated & bulging discs
- Sciatica – calms inflammation along the sciatic nerve
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
- Pinched nerves
- Chronic neck & back pain
Burning or shooting pain traveling from the back or hip down the leg—often worse with sitting or long drives—with tingling in the foot that won’t quit.
Typical signs: Leg pain, numbness, weakness after sitting or lifting.
Chiropractic factors: Disc bulge, joint irritation, tight piriformis.
Chiropractic techniques that work: Decompression to ease nerve pressure, specific chiropractic adjustments, targeted stretching, and core support.
A tired, achy back after standing, one shoulder higher than the other, or clothes that don’t hang evenly—curves can affect comfort and confidence.
Clues you may notice: Uneven shoulders/hips, visible curve, back fatigue.
Chiropractic support: Specific chiropractic techniques, mobility for tight spots, posture-breathing work, and a simple home plan to build balanced strength.
A heavy, tight neck after screens or sleep, crunching with turns, or headaches that creep from the base of your skull into the eye or shoulder.
You may feel: Stiffness, sharp pain with turning, and an ache in the shoulder/arm.
Chiropractic gentle fixes: Cervical chiropractic adjustments, traction when helpful, MLS® laser, and posture resets you can weave into short breaks.
Neck stiffness that builds over a day or two, headaches at the skull base, dizziness, and soreness between the shoulder blades after a bump or crash.
Common after-effects: Neck pain, headaches, dizziness, and limited motion.
Chiropractic recovery path: Phase-based chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy, MLS® laser, and graded rehab to restore confidence in movement.
Band-like pressure around the head, one-sided throbbing behind the eye, nausea, or light/sound sensitivity—often fed by neck and shoulder tension.
Patterns we see: Band-like pressure, one-sided neck-to-eye pain, sensory sensitivity.
Chiropractic factors: stiff cervical joints, trigger points, posture, and daily strain.
Chiropractic relief steps: Precise chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, gentle mobility, and simple stress/screen-time strategies to reduce flare-ups.
Laser therapy uses safe, therapeutic light wavelengths to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and promote healing. At Bergtold Chiropractic, we use the FDA-cleared MLS Laser, which combines two wavelengths for faster, more consistent results.
