Selected Problems:

Upper cervical nerve pressure
The problem occurs when the top two vertebrae: C1-atlas or axis-C2 shift to the side. This causes a compressive force on the brain stem, which may adversely affect the nerves all the way down the body. Specifically, it could cause problems as diverse as headaches, loss of coordination, breathing difficulties, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and others.

Upper cervical work directly affects the central nervous systems and is the exclusive realm of Doctor of Chiropractic. This is where chiropractic miracles occur such as helping diabetes, improving mental disorders, stabilizing blood pressure, eliminating allergies, and a host of others. Any disorder of the body that includes the system organs can benefit by the Doctor of Chiropractic.

This is the subject that many Medical Doctors, Heilpraktikers, Krankengymnasts etc. unhappy with their treatments, prefer to talk about Chiropractors as only "Back-Pain-Doctors".
Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is held entirely by soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons and muscles. We see a variety of strains, sprains, tears, and dislocations and in general, a build up of scar tissue over the years as the joint is repeatedly damaged and the healing process continues.

Doctor of Chiropractic will analyze the shoulder, diagnose the problem and reset the shoulder properly in its natural position and work out the adhesive scar tissue. He will also analyze the entire body, especially the neck to determine if there are any affected nerves inhibiting the body's natural tendency to heal.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
It may be characterized as a pain, numbness or tingling in the wrist and hands. As the patient uses the wrist over and over, inflammation and scar tissue may build up and the condition becomes chronic.
The symptoms may be controlled and possibly corrected with chiropractic adjusting of the carpal bones of the hand.
Hips

The hip is put together as a "ball and socket" type of joint. The hip can be site of painful arthritises such as rheumatoid and degenerative. It may have a congenital problem such as hip dyspalsie.

Chiropractic care in the hip region targets increasing ranges of motion and resetting the joint into its proper anatomical position. Chiropractic adjustments of the pelvic area, spine and adjacent joints of the extremities adds benefit to almost any condition, where there is neurological connection to the hip area.
Knees
Doctor of Chiropractic should be consulted whenever a problem exists in one of the extremities. Knee is a typical example of the joint, whose condition depends directly on the condition of the spine and harmonious functioning in joints of the entire locomotion-system.
