Treatments

Car accident injuries are a major cause of pain and disability in the U.S., affecting tens of thousands of people each year. While some injuries are obvious right away, other injuries can take weeks or even months before their symptoms are fully apparent. And injuries involving the nerves can cause painful symptoms for years after an initial accident – sometimes for a lifetime.

Auto accidents occur suddenly. If you are hit from behind or have hit someone else, your head may quickly move forward and backward in a whip-like motion. As a result, the muscles, tendons, and vertebrae of your neck are strained.

Causes of chronic back pain range from sciatica (compression of the sciatic nerve), spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease to spinal subluxation (vertebral misalignment) and arthritis. To ensure you are receiving the appropriate back pain treatment, Dr. Edwards will evaluate your symptoms, determine the exact location of your pain, and examine your back, neck, and shoulders before developing a personalized, chiropractic treatment program.

A chiropractic orthopedist uses his knowledge of the body to effectively treat musculoskeletal injuries. While this is true of most chiropractors, a chiropractic orthopedist like Dr. Edwards has completed advanced classes to discover normal functions and dysfunctions of the bones, muscles, joints, soft tissues, organs, and tissues.

Even an ordinary tension headache can put a major dent in your day – but when you experience the all-too-familiar visual auras and other early warning signals of an approaching migraine, you may have to sacrifice that entire day or even longer. The severe pain and other debilitating problems associated with migraine attacks may incapacitate you for up to 72 hours at a time. Fortunately, you can fight back against migraines without relying on painkillers when you receive natural migraine treatment at Hoover Health & Wellness Center Inc.

We provide a wide range of treatment options for those with neck pain or other forms of debilitating pain. If your neck pain has lasted more than a few days, it’s probably not going to “just go away.”

A major factor in healing and wellness is proper food-based nutrition.

For natural sciatica relief, Dr. Edwards uses the strength of your body to heal your body. His goal is to position your body for this healing to occur and the main way he does this is through gentle spinal alignments. When your spine is aligned, your body functions better and works as a whole to heal a variety of conditions including sciatica. Since sciatica is a direct condition of spinal alignment, chiropractic care is the ideal treatment to heal your sciatica symptoms.

Providing you with advanced treatment options is always our goal at Hoover Health & Wellness Center Inc. and Dr. Edwards provides exceptional care to each one of his patients. One of the key services we offer is spinal decompression.

Of all the kinds of injuries you might sustain, a spinal injury can have perhaps the most devastating effect on your everyday life. Trauma to the nervous system's central hub can cause everything from pain and weakness to outright paralysis. The good news is that prompt, thorough treatment can help many patients regain function and sensation. Dr. Edwards can employ multiple therapeutic techniques to help you recover from your injury.

Dr. Edwards treats many types of injuries without prescribing drugs or recommending surgery. Injuries affecting your musculoskeletal system typically involve falls, auto accidents, impact injuries, and repetitive motion injuries. We will give you an in-depth diagnosis of your injury, identify the cause of pain and stiffness, and develop a personalized treatment program designed to facilitate recovery.
