Automobile Accidents:
Dr. Craig is certified by the Spine Research Institute of San Diego in treating these challenging injuries. Our treatment goal is to make you feel better than you did before the accident happened! We have treated more automobile accident injuries than any other chiropractic office in the Oviedo area over the past ten years.
Lower Back Pain:
We help you get “back to health” using the most modern and gentle techniques. We proudly feature the Cox flexion-distraction table to painlessly treat tough lower back and disc conditions.
Neck Pain:
We restore flexibility and relax cervical muscles in the treatment of problem neck conditions. The Pierce-Stillwagon head piece gently and effectively restores spinal alignment and normalizes cervical curvature. This reduces stress and radiating nerve pain into the upper shoulders.
Headaches:
Great success has been achieved in the treatment of migraine and tension headaches. A unique “headache diary” is provided to the patient to chart progress leading in many cases to a complete recovery. Patients report that strong pharmaceutical drugs are no longer necessary after the correction has been made.
Sciatica:
Many people have problems with radiating or shooting pains originating in the lower back and traveling into one or both legs. This is often caused by irritation or compression of the body’s largest nerve, the sciatic nerve. Dr. Craig has had patients that first entered his office hobbling with canes and walkers that have finished their care plans with normal ability to walk without assistance.
Arm/Hand Pain/Numbness:
A common condition treated at The Craig Spinal Care Center in Oviedo is arm and hand pain often originating in the lower neck and descending into the arms, and in some cases, all the way down to the hands. Often a “tingling” or “burning” sensation is described by the patients. Effective treatments remove the cause of these problems, which are often found in the base of the neck. Increased strength, coordination, and flexibility is regained with no more pain.
Shoulder Pain/Stiffness:
The shoulder joint is a complex articulation capable of more types of movements than any other joint in the human body. Many people have problems with loss of movements and deep joint pain in this region. Great success has been achieved in a variety of shoulder conditions effecting the four tendons of the rotator cuff. In most cases, surgery has been successfully avoided as a result.
Stress Disorders:
Chronic stress causes the body to release a variety of stress hormones. These lead to extreme tight muscles and postural abnormalities combined with underlying pain syndromes. A combination of natural treatments have been successfully administered to reduce a variety of stress-related disorders for hundreds of Oviedo-area patients over the past ten years.
Fibromyalgia:
This chronic and intense neuromuscular disorder causes deep pain in the many muscle groups and leads to the formation of myofascial “trigger points”. These localized areas of inflammation respond favorably to chiropractic techniques and massage therapy. In many cases, complete resolution of all symptoms has been achieved.
Arthritis:
This is perhaps the most misdiagnosed medical condition of all. Arthritis in Latin simply means “inflammation of the joints”. Many patients were told by their medical doctors that there was absolutely no cure and no treatment. Over the years, hundreds of people from the Oviedo area were helped with this condition. Arthritis cannot be cured, but remarkable improvements can be made in many cases. A large number of patients report that they no longer needed to take strong pharmaceutical drugs as their condition had improved.
