Oskaloosa Chiropractic specializes in treating pain and orthopedic conditions without the use of drugs or surgery. In particular, we treat the following conditions:
Back pain
Back pain is one of the most common orthopedic conditions in the United States, affecting 31 million people every day. Whether you suffer from upper, middle or lower back pain, chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive treatment option that focuses on identifying the root cause of your symptoms to relieve pain and improve function.
Neck pain
The neck can easily become a source of pain due to muscle strain or other serious injuries. In fact, many people experience some degree of neck pain at least once in their lifetime. While most neck pain is acute, you may also experience chronic neck pain, which can often be an indication of a more serious condition. Our chiropractors provide conservative treatment for patients seeking neck pain relief.
Leg pain and knee problems
Most leg pain and knee problems are caused by basic everyday use, as well as overuse injuries. Some types of leg pain can even be traced to problems in your lower spine. Depending on your condition, chiropractic care may be an option to help restore lost range of motion, improve flexibility and endurance, and increase muscle tone and strength.
Shoulder injuries
Shoulder injuries are frequently caused by athletic activity that involve repetitive overhead motion, such as pitching, swimming and weightlifting. However, injuries can also occur during everyday activities like yard work, cleaning and getting dressed. Common shoulder injuries include rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability and shoulder arthritis. Dr. Nolting offers conservative treatment options for patients with shoulder injuries and can often rule out more serious medical conditions before surgery or other invasive procedures.
Foot and ankle pain
The foot is a very complex structure made up of many bones and joints that are configured to bear the weight of your entire body. We help restore normal movement and alignment to the joints of the foot and ankle to decrease stress on the joints and improve function. This is accomplished through a number of ways, including chiropractic adjustments, manipulation and rehabilitative or corrective exercises.
Herniated discs
When people say they have a “slipped” or “ruptured” disc in their neck or back, they are usually referring to a disc derangement or herniated disc – a common cause of lower back pain, neck pain, arm pain and leg pain. Dr. Nolting can alleviate pain associated with a herniated disc or disc derangement through a variety of non-invasive treatment methods, including spinal manipulation, Myofascial Release, joint mobilization, rehabilitative or corrective exercise, and end range loading.
Pinched Nerves
A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve. This can cause pain, tingling, numbness or even weakness in many areas of the body, including the neck, back, shoulder and leg. Often times, pinched nerves can be treated with rest and other conservative treatment. Soft tissue therapy and chiropractic adjustments can help rule out the need for medication or surgery.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder involving widespread pain and sensitivity throughout the body. Symptoms sometimes begin after physical trauma, surgery or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time. We are trained neuromusculoskeletal specialists who treat pressure points, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches and musculoskeletal injuries without the use of drugs or surgery. It’s often difficult for patients to find solutions for all of their symptoms, but recent studies show that chiropractic adjustments, combined with a soft tissue technique called ischemic compression, can help relieve pain in fibromyalgia patients.
In addition to the conditions mentioned above, our Dr. Nolting treats tension headaches and migraines, running and sports injuries, as well as pregnancy related pain.
Seek treatment if you experience any of the signs or symptoms below:
Recurring pain or pain that persists beyond a few days (even if it has a history of settling on its own)
Inability to move or carry objects
Injury that causes deformity of the joints
Pain that occurs at night or while resting
Swelling or significant bruising
Signs of an infection, including fever, redness, warmth or swelling
