In today’s world, the Western lifestyle of poor posture, sedentary jobs, and fast food has created a modern epidemic: spinal pain. Every year thousands of people see their doctors complaining of symptoms like neck pain, headaches, back pain, and even sciatica pain. Some patients have even been told they need risky surgery because they “have a pinched nerve” or other vague language referring to the spinal column. Inevitably the offending agent turns out to be mechanical — too much stress — in the form of bad posture from texting on smartphones and sitting in chairs that don’t support the spine well. When most people think of chiropractic treatment, they think of back pain and headaches. But those are just a couple of the many symptoms Evolve Chiropractic of Downers Grove can help patients overcome. Research shows that the most common reasons people visit a chiropractor in Downers Grove are for pain and muscle stiffness or tension.
