Your neck works hard to be able to support your head, which weighs around 12 pounds! The neck, or cervical spine, is flexible and can move in many different directions, which makes it possible for you to see your surroundings. Unfortunately, this mobility can also make the neck more susceptible to injury. Whether it be a motor vehicle accident , sports injury, or poor posture, neck pain is a common side effect. Conditions we treat At Custom Chiropractor, we treat a variety of neck pain conditions with varying causes. Some of these conditions include: Cervical sprain or strain Injury to the neck that occurs when the neck muscles and ligaments are stretched too far, too quickly, which can result in tears and muscle weakness Cervical radiculopathy Neck pain, if left untreated, can lead to pain, numbness, or tingling in other areas known as cervical radiculopathy. With cervical radiculopathy, symptoms may be experienced in the face, shoulder, arm, wrist and hand accompanied with stiffness and loss of mobility. Cervicogenic headaches Headaches that stem from the neck are called cervicogenic headaches. The joints of the cervical spine become restricted and prevent movement. They can be a side effect of neck pain that was left untreated. Degenerative Joint Disease DJD can be caused by the aging process, injury, or genetics. Degeneration of the cervical joints may lead to neck pain. Cervical Disc Herniations Disc herniations in the cervical spine cause movement of breakage of the disc and may lead to radiculopathy in the upper extremity. Herniations of the cervical spine that do not require surgery can be treated and managed by chiropractors. Dr. Wolfer is literally the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. I was an athlete in college and have dealt with back and neck pain for years ever since. Dr. Wolfer helped with soft tissue work in addition to adjustment, and I feel better than I have in a decade. You can tell she really cares about her patients’ well-being and is passionate about her work. I highly recommend Dr. Wolfer for chiropractic work! Alyson S. Dr. Sarah Schweter is such a wonderful Chiropractor and person. She is so knowledgeable, really listens to my concerns and does a thorough assessment. She uses a lot of soft tissue work and different techniques and provides stretches to work on at home. Highly recommend her as a very effective and caring chiropractor! Paula A. TECHNOLOGY CAN BE A SOURCE OF PAIN Recently, we have seen an increased amount of patients presenting with text, or tech, neck. Text neck is caused by improper posture while looking at your phone or working on the computer for long periods of time. This commonly affects musculature of the neck, upper thoracic spine and shoulders. By having your neck in a forward position while on the computer or texting, you increase the load your head creates on your neck. According to research, “every 2.5 cm the head moves forward, it gains 0.45 kg in weight” this can have serious implications on bodily function as vital lung capacity can be reduced up to 30%. With the increase in remote work positions, we have to adapt our bodies to technology. Some tips to avoid text neck is to maintain proper posture, take breaks often, use a standing desk, and change your position often, ideally every hour. Proper posture should include limiting forward head tilting, keeping phone and monitors at eye level, and avoiding rolling your shoulders forward. How can we help? Chiropractic adjustments have been proven to be an effective way of treating neck pain. For neck adjustments, chiropractors use a gentle, targeted approach to reduce the joint restrictions located in your neck. By doing so, this can improve mobility of the cervical spine while increasing function and decreasing pain and inflammation. Techniques we use Chiropractic adjustments – using their hands, a chiropractor can adjust the neck manually in a gentle manner to reduce restrictions located in the neck. Instrument-assisted adjustments ( Activator ) – an Activator can be used in place of manual adjustments to reduce restrictions. The Activator might be used due to patient preference or if a chiropractor believes this would benefit the patient. Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy ( Graston technique ) – Graston technique entails a metal tool with an emollient used along the neck musculature to reduce any adhesions in the area. Active Release Technique /Muscle Release Technique – A chiropractor will release musculature in the neck using their hands while having the patient activate a muscle group through its range of motion. This is to reduce tension and pain in the neck and gain mobility. Trigger point therapy – Chiropractors use their hands to perform trigger point massage to reduce any muscle knots or spasms located in that area. If you would like to learn more about chiropractic and massage therapy treatments for preventing or ongoing issues with neck pain please contact us or book online with one of our doctors or registered massage therapists.

From there, the brain is in contact with the rest of your body through billions of nerves that make up your nervous system. Some nerves go straight to their destination point, but others mix with other nerves to form nerve networks called a ‘plexus.’ The brachial plexus is located anatomically at the anterior junction of your neck and upper extremity. It is made up of numerous nerves that branch out of the middle and upper back and supply information to the shoulders, arm, elbows, wrists, hands and fingers. The nerves that make up the brachial plexus may become irritated as they leave the spinal column. Things as serious as an accident or simply sitting at a desk with incorrect posture can irritate the nerves located in the brachial plexus. Symptoms from damage to the brachial plexus can differ depending on location of the trauma, but may include numbness into the arm and hand or decreased motor control in the upper extremity. In addition, it is not uncommon to experience headaches, facial pain, dizziness, thyroid or nasal problems as a result of brachial plexus nerve irritation. Common causes of pain to the shoulder, arm, wrist, or hand Rotator cuff injury Frozen Shoulder Brachial Plexopathy Tennis Elbow Tendonitis Neuritis and Bursitis Arthritis Carpal Tunnel Syndrome   Common symptoms of shoulder, arm, wrist, or hand pain are: Muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling Neck pain Neck stiffness Decreased range of motion in the neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist Hand pain You use your hands for almost everything. From cooking, to cleaning, to writing, and even brushing your teeth, so many of your daily activities are directly dependent on the health of the 29 bones and 34 muscles in each hand. Hand pain can occur from a variety of reasons ranging from old age, chronic damage from work related tasks, to injuries sustained from mechanical accidents. Injury to joints, nerves, bones, and tendons are approached very differently so it is important to evaluate the true source of pain. Contrast therapy which involves an alternating treatment of heat and ice is most commonly suggested for all hand injuries. At your appointment at Custom Chiropractor, we can determine the underlying cause and best treatment for your hand pain. Wrist Pain One very common condition we treat at CC is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome ( CTS ). The symptoms of CTS include tingling and numbness in the hand, fingers, wrist, shoulder, elbow and neck. The pain can be incredibly intense and has been reported to awaken patients at night due to extreme pain.This pain is often caused by chronic excess pressure at your wrist, which leads to inflammation. The compression of the median nerve causes the hand to “fall asleep” frequently and drop objects without warning. Your chiropractor is able to use chiropractic adjustments to the spine and upper extremity, soft tissue work, and exercises to reduce or eliminate your wrist pain. They can also provide ergonomic education for your work set up, sleeping position, and everyday tasks. Shoulder Pain Shoulder pain is another common complaint of patients at Custom Chiropractor. This highly mobile joint that can be injured in a variety of ways. SHOULDER ANATOMY: The shoulder is made up of three bones: the scapula, humerus and clavicle bones. Each of the bones articulates with each other in separate joints, the most significant of which is the ball-in socket joint connecting the humerus with the scapula. The glenohumeral joint gives the shoulder its range of free motion, however in doing so it sacrifices stability of the articulating bones. The bones overcome this somewhat by relying on surrounding muscles and tendons (also known as the rotator cuff) to stabilize the bones. Therefore, any damage or injury to any of the stabilizers can be extremely painful and severely restrict the shoulders range of motion. Schedule an appointment See all services Common causes of shoulder pain COMMON CAUSES OF SHOULDER PAIN POOR POSTURE: Continuous poor posture overworks the muscles in the upper back and causes an imbalance within the body leaving the shoulders hunched forward to compensate. Overtime, this strains the shoulder muscles and can lead to chronic shoulder pain. TRAUMA : Any damage to the rotator cuff tendons can lead to instability and reduce overall function of the shoulder. Trauma is a common cause of dislocation of the shoulder joint or fracture. DEGENERATION : Damage to the shoulder anatomy, through injury, accidents, or poor posture, can create degeneration. This causes the articular cartilage and other soft tissues to wear down. When this happens, this can create bone on bone articulations, which can be painful without their normal soft cushioning of cartilage, labrum, and ligaments. OVERUSE : Tendonitis is a common sports injury that arises from continued overuse of the shoulder tendons, which attach muscle to bone. Overtime, little tears within the tendon cause inflammation and tenderness within the region. Overextending your shoulder can stretch the muscle fiber too much and cause tears within the tissue. Damaged tissue cannot adequately support the shoulder and may leave restrictive scar tissue after it has been healed. ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS OR FROZEN SHOULDER : Stiffness within the shoulder joint can occur as the capsules surrounding the shoulder muscle tendons thicken and restrict their movement. Frozen shoulder has no known cause, though it is correlated with diabetes or prolonged cast usage following a severe injury.

Ankle pain is prevalent when running, but sometimes it is not enough to make a determined runner stop. There are many triggers for ankle pain, so understanding the specific cause is crucial in dealing with the symptoms. Movement at your foot and ankle influences your whole body. Ambulation – whether walking or running – places repetitive strain on your joints with varying levels of impact. Common symptoms of ankle pain manifest in different ways, but let’s first refresh your ankles’ physiology: t ogether with your toes and hips, ankles enable the body to carry your weight on most occasions. The stabilization of your bones and the resilience of your Achilles tendon enables you to push your toes forward and upwards in the next stage of the ankle, recognized as plantarflexion. The ankle also operates together with your feet to allow pronation, inward foot movement, to accommodate to the surface and absorb shock. The ankle is an incredibly mobile joint that plays an important role in gait and weight distribution. By having this great mobility and range of motion, this joint is both capable of adjusting to irregular twist movements and great at stabilizing — activating various muscles around the joint to facilitate motion when you need robust pivoting assistance. Muscles in and around the ankle push your body forward and retain power when running. The pressure on the ankle joints rises when you boost your velocity, rendering it more susceptible to accidents.   What causes ankle pain when running? Maybe you’ve suddenly increased your mileage or running frequency and your body hasn’t been ready for the increased workload. You may not have had an opportunity to stretch between workouts. You may not have exercised or activated other significant structures like the glutes. Whatever the trigger, reducing the stress on your joints momentarily is essential and allows your body to recover. If your pain persists for more than three days or limits your ability to return to running after a week, it is better to seek specific advice from a medical practitioner.   Chiropractic Ankle Pain Treatment Running with an ankle injury may lead to more injuries elsewhere in the body, particularly the lower extremity. Pausing your running course while you are out there and feel the first signs of an injury might be tough to do, for a lot of reasons. However, continuing to exercise before the joint is rehabilitated can contribute to more damage. A chiropractor will ask what movement resulted in the ankle being overused and painful. It can be distinct for each individual, but generally, overuse injuries happen when more stress is placed on the bone. No athlete should simply run – make sure you incorporate a healthy workout regimen that ends with stretching, and a bunch of reinforcement for the feet, shoulders, knees, and heart monitoring. Be proactive by reinforcing your ankle with heel lifts, single-leg strength activities and knee reinforcement so your legs have the power and flexibility to lower the strain on your ankles and enhance your general running shape and endurance. Ankle pain is a bummer, and on their running routine, no runner likes to stop. But, for long-term progress, it is sometimes essential to stop for a bit. Paying attention to your ankle and building a well-rounded running schedule is the best thing you can do to avoid injuries. If you have ankle pain and you’re unsure where it is coming from, it’s always good to ask and receive medical attention from a physical therapy doctor or a chiropractor who can evaluate and diagnose your symptoms and develop the correct treatment plan for your injury.

Plantar fasciitis is responsible for most heel and foot pain among young athletes and people who stand long periods of time. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning. Once your foot limbers up, the pain of plantar fasciitis normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or after getting up from a seated position. Plantar fasciitis is particularly common in runners. In addition, people who are overweight and those who wear shoes with inadequate support are at risk of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis typically causes a stabbing pain in the bottom of your foot near the heel. The pain is usually worse with the first few steps after awakening, although it can also be triggered by long periods of standing or getting up from a seated position. Under normal circumstances, your plantar fascia acts like a shock-absorbing bowstring, supporting the arch in your foot. If tension on that bowstring becomes too great, it can create small tears in the fascia. Risk Factors Age : There are more reported instances in people 40-60 years old. Certain activities : Long-distance running, ballistic jumping activities, ballet dancing, aerobics can put a lot of stress on the fascia lying on the bottom of the heel. Foot shape: People with flat-feet, high arches, or even abnormal walking patterns have unevenly distributed weight and thus put more stress on the plantar fascia. Obesity: People who are obese can put extra stress on their plantar fascia leading to more wear and tear as time goes on. Occupation: Teachers, nurses, and people who tend to be on their feet for a large portion of the day can put a lot of excess stress on their plantar fascia. Complications of Plantar Fasciitis Chronic heel pain : Ignoring plantar fasciitis can lead to long term damage that may impact ability to complete regular activities Other chronic issues: Compensating for your heel pain can lead to increased stress on other areas of the body and may lead to chronic back pain, leg pain, and neck pain. Plantar Fasciitis is a condition that can be mostly treated conservatively but, the longer the patient ignores the symptoms there is a higher chance that the condition would turn into a chronic inflammatory process. Most cases can be treated with the correct treatment plan; the goal of the treatment should be to avoid surgery or injections. How can a chiropractor help with Plantar Fascitis? The chiropractors here at Custom Chiropractor can help with your plantar fasciitis, heel, and foot pain. By utilizing chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy including Graston technique and Active Release technique, and prescribing exercises that can help you strengthen the plantar fascia and surrounding muscles, our chiropractors can reduce pain and help you return to your normal life.

What does a new patient visit at Custom Chiropractor look like? At Custom Chiropractor we have a patient-centric approach. We address a lot more than just the region, joint or muscle that is causing the pain. We look at your entire body to make sure that your bones and muscles move together in a pain-free way through posture and gait assessment. Our chiropractors incorporate many different soft tissue modalities to address both the musculature and the joints and utilize individualized rehabilitative exercises designed to increase function. Who do we treat? Everyone is welcomed and benefit from our treatments. We treat men and women of all ages, including children and pregnant women; regardless of their activity level or lifestyle. We are happy to help through all stages of life and will discuss your concerns and goals at the first visit. New patient intake forms Once the appointment is booked – either through our website or our front desk staff – we send intake digital forms to be filled out prior to the initial visit. You may also come in 20 minutes before your appointment to fill out the paperwork in-office. The intake form has specific questions about your chief complaint, as well as any relevant health history to help us determine the best clinical diagnosis and treatment plan for you. New patient consultation, assessment and treatment The initial visit takes an hour to review intake forms, assess the problem, and begin treatment. First, the chiropractor reviews your intake form and asks specific questions about your chief complaint and health history. The assessment will include neurological and orthopedic exams to figure out the root cause of the problem. After discussing the diagnosis with you, your treatment will begin. If further imaging is required, the chiropractor will refer you directly to the closest facility and guide you through the process. See all services Our Team Much more than a quick adjustment The treatment is much more than just an adjustment. In fact, an adjustment is only a small part of your treatment. The chiropractors focus on the musculature that is tight and tender using a variety of techniques such as Active Release Technique , Hypervolt percussion, cupping , Graston and Trigger point massage . At the end of treatment, the chiropractor will have mobilized the joints that are restricted. This is done in order to get the tissues and joints moving normally again using techniques such as diversified adjustments or instrument- assisted adjustments such as the Activator. We strongly believe that our patients have the best success and results if they do their “homework” as prescribed. Stretching, increasing water intake or adding specific exercises to your daily routine will help you avoid re-injury. Restoring muscle strength will reduce compensatory patterns and overuse injuries. If the problem is not musculoskeletal, the chiropractor will refer you out to another health care professional and guide you through the process. At any point of the visit and after, we are happy to answer any questions you may have. Frequently Asked Questions Can I use my insurance? FSA or HSA? Even though we are out of network chiropractors , we work with all PPO plans. Once we receive your insurance information, we check your out of network benefits to see what coverage you have. At Custom Chiropractor, we deal with your insurance directly; meaning that we send all of the bills to them. We can also supply a superbill for your record. Alternatively, you can also use an HSA or FSA. What is a superbill? A superbill is a detailed receipt of services that includes all diagnostic and procedure codes. This bill is used for patients to submit to their insurance companies themselves for direct reimbursement within the patient’s insurance benefit plan. What is an adjustment? Will it hurt? As chiropractors, we focus on the musculoskeletal system looking at muscle tightness and joint movement. An adjustment is a high velocity low amplitude thrust applied to a specific vertebra, intended to increase joint movement. An audible sound (the “pop”) may accompany the adjustment. The cavitation/ sound is caused by the release of the same gas released when you crack your knuckles. There is no pain involved with the adjustment but some patients may experience soreness the day following the treatment. Should I wear specific clothes for the first visit? It’s best to wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in and allows for accessibility of the focused treatment area. For example, if you have shoulder pain, you may consider wearing a tank top; with knee pain, shorts are a good option. What if I need to change or cancel my appointment? At Custom Chiropractor, we want to make sure that every patient has the opportunity to be treated promptly. In order for that to happen, we adhere to a strict cancellation policy. Please let us know if you are unable to make your appointment 24 hours before the scheduled time, and we are happy to reschedule. There is a fee for late cancellations and no shows.

Conditions can have various etiologies which changes the structures involved. Structures involved in knee pain: Osseous – impacting the bones such as such femur, tibia, fibula or patella Ligamentous – impacting the supporting ligaments, meniscus or cartilage of the knee Muscular – impacting the surrounding musculature Neurological – impacting the nerves innervating the knee joint   The right diagnosis is key to effective knee pain treatment Our practitioners go through an initial consultation and examination consisting of a comprehensive medical background, underlying etiology of condition, and conduct a rigorous clinical and biomechanical analysis to make an accurate diagnosis. Without seeing the bigger picture in detail, there cannot be an accurate diagnosis, which ensures procedures for knee pain treatment will be efficient. 3 steps in providing adequate knee pain treatments: Reduce joint inflammation and pain using Kinesio Tape , and doing soft tissue work. Optimize joint function by advanced extremity chiropractic manipulation, manual muscle release and deep tissue massage to impacted areas of the knee and adjacent joints to enhance flexibility, boost function and relieve pain. Recover and rehabilitate lost functions, strength and stability through exercises to get back to normal and prevent future injuries. What causes knee pain? Knee pain is an extremely common disorder, and it can affect daily activities. There are various causes of knee pain, which include overuse, injury, aging and medical conditions such as arthritis or bursitis. Knee Arthritis The condition in which the natural cushion between the joints and the cartilage decreases is called Osteoarthritis . When this happens, the bone in each joint rub against each other more closely with fewer shock-absorbing qualities than the cartilage usually has. The rubbing results in pain, swelling, rigidity, reduced movement ability, and bone spur formation. Osteoarthritis most commonly impacts weight bearing joints, such as the knee and hip. Knee Bursitis This is a very common condition for people who have to remain continuously on their knees like roofers, runners, plumbers, etc. Bursae become swollen or inflamed, leading to bursitis, as they are subjected to constant friction over a boney area. Bursa are the small, filled, fluid sacs that coat outside the knee joint. A sudden knee blow will potentially seriously damage the bursae. How our practitioners can help with knee pain treatments? Most knee problems can be treated without operation, with the exception of a few which require surgery or even complete replacement. You can trust us with a variety of knee injury issues, whether it’s a car accident or chronic pain after overuse. A practitioner will examine all the anatomical components of the knee joint in detail before providing any knee pain treatments. In addition to the knee joint, the lower back, pelvis, spine, ankle, and foot need to be examined because of their close relationship to the knee, and vice versa. In order to relieve knee pain, chiropractors may target other areas to optimize long-term recovery. The knee joint is a complex structure made of multiple parts that rely on each other to bear heavy weights and provide stability for the whole body. Knee pain treatments offered in our clinic are based on decreasing inflammation and building stability by strengthening the muscles around the knee. Working with a chiropractor will lower the risk of further escalations of an injury and may help avoid future ones.     ” A few months ago, I started seeing Sarah for persistent knee pain after running and general posture issues. Prior to coming to SCCC, I’ve done physical therapy and personal training as well, but nothing was as effective as sessions with Sarah. What I thought was knee pain was really issues with my quadriceps. Sarah effectively reliefs the pain and has strengthened the muscle. She’s very good at teaching me the stretches to fix the problems on my own as well (even though I skip doing them sometimes). In general, I find getting working on here an extremely comfortable and relaxing experience. I appreciate how everyone gets to know you, your habits and goals, and checks in to make sure you’re making progress. Honestly, I feel better leaving here than I do after paying 2/3x for a massage elsewhere. “ Matt H.   Contact us or schedule an appointment online to see one of our practitioners.

Chronic low back pain; lasting longer than 12 weeks. Causes of low back pain: There are a lot of different things that can cause low back pain; ranging from spinal degeneration and sport injuries, to nerve impingements or segmental instability. Identifying and treating the correct source of low back pain is an effective way to ensure the best treatment and full recovery. As chiropractors, we treat neuromusculoskeletal dysfunctions, which includes muscle strains, ligament sprains, traumatic sport injuries, spinal segmental instability as well as intervertebral disc disorders, spinal stenosis, herniated discs and sciatica. Skeletal abnormalities such as scoliosis can cause muscle imbalances that can also be managed by chiropractors. Risk factors for low back pain: Work related: sedentary office setting versus hard, manual labor Fitness levels: inactivity versus powerlifting Age-related: osteoarthritis, Genetics: underlying conditions such as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or Ankylosing Spondylitis Psychological factors: stress, depression, anxiety When is the best time to see a chiropractor for low back pain? It’s best to seek chiropractic care for low back pain in the acute state but even in the subacute and chronic state, chiropractic care can give patients a pain free life. The earlier you take action, the better and more cost effective the outcome. Our approach for low back pain treatment and management At Custom Chiropractor, we have a hands-on approach to treatment that differentiates us from other clinics. We use a combination of lumbar traction, active release technique , cupping , Graston technique, heat or cold therapy and specific chiropractic adjustments to treat low back pain. The chiropractic adjustment is used to restore motion between two segments of the spine which leads to better joint function. After the treatment, we prescribe specific stretches and exercises for our patients to help ease the low back pain at home. I came in with the most severe back pain I had in my life, and was met with extraordinary amount of compassion and care. Sarah is really really good at what she does, very skilled and very caring! When I need a chiropractor again, without doubt this is where I will return. Mick H. I had one of the best chiropractor experiences with the very professional and caring Dr. Ledia Mati. Ledia was very personable, I was able to connect with her on a human level, and she had the touch of magic. After she completed a thorough examination, she proceeded with treatment which included muscle work, adjustments, cupping and stretching. I was sent home with some exercises they were easy to follow as they were displayed in an app called Physitrack – Dr Mati walked me through the app and showed me how I could navigate through it. Overall highly recommend this office and their amazing Dr and staff. I look forward to going in for my next treatment and I highly recommend you take yourself or your loved ones there. Elena G. I was nervous because I’m the type that gets squeamish when someone cracks their knuckles or pops their fingers. But Sarah made me feel safe and I trusted her. Now I’m looking forward to my next visit.
