Problems chiropractic targets Chiropractic targets many medical problems; some of these problems include but are not limited to: back pain, neck pain, headaches, stress, sciatic nerve pain, injuries, etc. Stress There are three types of stress that affect our daily living and health. They are the following: physical, emotional, and chemical stresses. Physical Stress: Involves actual physical activity or harm, such as whiplash, tripping and falling, repetitive motions, or lack of sleep. Emotional Stress: Involves feelings, such as depression, fear, grief, and anger. Chemical Stress: Involves lack of nutrition, sugar, refined carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, drugs, alcohol, and even pollen. Back Pain Back pain is the leading cause of disability for Americans under the age of 45. Back pain can be due to many aspects of daily living such as; falls, car accidents, sport strains, heavy lifting, repetitive work and poor posture to name a few. All of these can trigger disturbances in the vertebrae, which serves as the channel for thousands of highly sensitive nerves, which can cause the nervous system to malfunction, producing symptoms ranging from sharp pain to numbness.
