A pinched nerve can cause numbness, tingling, sharp or burning pain, and sometimes weakness. These symptoms happen when surrounding tissue places pressure on a nerve, which can affect how signals travel through that area. In many cases, symptoms may start in the neck or back and travel into the shoulder, arm, hand, hip, or leg.

Preventive health is not only about reacting to pain after it starts. It is also about supporting how your body moves, functions, and recovers over time.

Back and neck pain can interfere with every part of your life. When discomfort stems from disc issues, nerve compression, or chronic spinal stress, traditional treatments may not always provide lasting relief.  At Dalton Chiropractic, we offer spinal decompression as a safe, conservative approach to reducing pressure on the spine and helping patients return to comfortable, active living.

Arthritis is often associated with aging, but it can affect people much earlier than expected. Many young adults experience joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation without realizing that arthritis could be the underlying cause.

Sciatica can turn even simple daily activities into painful challenges. Characterized by pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg, sciatica often worsens due to common habits many people don’t realize are contributing to their discomfort. The good news is that small changes combined with the right chiropractic care can make a significant difference in relieving pain and preventing flare-ups.

Nerve compression - often referred to as a “pinched nerve” - occurs when surrounding tissues such as bones, muscles, or tendons apply excessive pressure on a nerve. This pressure can interfere with the nerve’s ability to function properly, leading to discomfort, tingling, or even loss of sensation.

If you’re struggling with persistent back or neck pain, you know how much it can interfere with your daily life. Whether it’s caused by a herniated disc, sciatica, or degenerative disc disease, the discomfort can make even simple tasks challenging. One effective, non-surgical treatment that’s helping many patients find relief is spinal decompression therapy.

Migraines can be debilitating, affecting work, family life, and overall well-being. While medication may provide temporary relief, many people continue to experience recurring headaches without ever addressing the root cause. One factor often overlooked in migraine care is neck alignment. At Dalton Chiropractic, we help patients understand how spinal health and posture may be linked to chronic headaches and migraines.

Athletes at every stage are always looking for ways to improve performance, recover faster, and prevent injuries. One question that often comes up is: is chiropractic care safe for athletes of all levels? The short answer is yes, when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor, chiropractic care can be a safe and effective option for athletes looking to stay at the top of their game.

Whiplash is a common injury, often caused by car accidents, sports activities, or sudden jolts that force your neck to move back and forth rapidly. This abrupt motion can strain or damage the soft tissues in your neck, leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and even dizziness. If you’re dealing with whiplash, one of the first questions you probably have is: “How long will it take to recover, especially if I seek chiropractic care?”
