Common Conditions and Symptoms
People See Us For
BACK PAIN
Chronic or sudden back pain can happen when there’s too much pressure on the joints in your spine or the nerves around them. This pressure can build up from old injuries, but also from everyday things — like sitting too long at a desk, driving for hours, or bending over again and again at work.
​
When your spine doesn’t move properly, the joints can get stiff and sore, and the nerves nearby can become irritated. This can lead to pain, tight muscles, and even tingling or numbness in your back, hips, or legs.
​
Gentle adjustments take pressure off nerves and help your spine move the way it’s supposed to — so you can feel better and get back to doing the things you enjoy.
Common Symptoms: Muscle tightness/tension, limited movement (stiffness), and shooting, grabbing, dull-aching pains in the lower or upper back. Pain in between the shoulder blades and the mid-back
HEADACHES & MIGRAINES
Nerve pressure existing within the upper cervical spine is a major contributor to headaches. By reducing spinal misalignments via adjustments, we help relieve headache frequency and intensity.
Common Symptoms: Throbbing, aching or sharp head pain, pain around the eyes, light sensitivity, nausea, and tension in the shoulders or neck.
NECK PAIN
Spending lots of time sitting at a desk or looking down at a phone can lead to poor posture. When we stay in these positions for too long, the joints in our neck can become stiff and stop moving the way they should. This can cause irritation and swelling in the area, which is called inflammation.
​
Over time, this stiffness and inflammation can lead to neck pain and tightness. It might even cause the pain to travel down into your shoulders, arms, or hands. Some people also get headaches or notice their muscles feeling weaker.
​
At Cherrett Chiropractic, we gently unlock stiff joints so your body can move better, feel better, and heal naturally.
Common Symptoms: Stiffness, soreness, tightness around the neck and shoulders, tingling/ pins and needles down the arms.
SCIATICA
Sciatica results when the sciatic nerve in the low back becomes pinched, leading to leg pain, numbness and tingling down the leg(s), and muscle sometimes weakness.
Common Symptoms: Sharp shooting stabbing pain or numbness and tingling referring down the leg(s). May also be accompanied by frequent leg cramps, cold feet and weaknessor heaviness of the leg(s).
NERVOUS SYSTEM IMBALANCE
An unhealthy nervous system can affect everything from digestion to immune function. We aim to correct misalignments that interfere with nerve signals, helping your body return to balance.
Common Symptoms: Digestive issues, frequent fatigue, poor concentration, sleep disturbances, poor stress management (overwhelm), and anxiety.
POOR POSTURE
Sitting at a desk, working in arkward positions for long periods of time (e.g barbering, hairdressing, tattooing) are major contributing factors to poor posture. Over time, this can negatively impact the nervous system, causing symptoms like headaches, digestive issues, and impaired concentration.

DISC INJURIES (DISC BULGES/HERNIATED DISCS)
Herniated or bulging discs cause pressure on spinal nerves, often leading to pain and inflammation.
Common Symptoms: Sharp pain in the back or neck, numbness, tingling in the arms or legs, and weakness. Walking hunched over. Pain when coughing or sneezing
