Wrist Pain

One of the most common reasons patients come see us in Greenbelt, MD is forwrist pain. This is because wrist pain can be caused by so many different things, ranging from medical conditions and injuries to simply using the hands or wrists regularly for work or sports.

 

At Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, we start with minimally invasive treatments for wrist pain, such as cortisone injections, exercise, massage, and encouraging more rest. Surgery is only recommended in severe cases. The treatment also depends on the cause of the wrist pain, as well as the severity.

 

Some of the common causes of wrist pain include:

• Overexertion or overuse
• Tendonitis
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Arthritis
•  Sprain
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Ganglion cyst
• Fractures

Patients should visit us for wrist pain if they are having trouble carrying objects, see a deformity of their joint, cannot flex or straighten the wrist joint, have pain that is worse at night, experience numbness, tingling, or burning, or notice swelling, warmth, redness, or inflammation in the wrist area.

Knee Pain

Knee Pain

Because the legs are used in everyday life and the knee is such a complex joint, we see a lot of patients here at Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation complaining of knee pain. While it can be more common in middle aged and senior adults, knee pain occurs at any age, and for many different reasons.

 

Knee pain also varies in severity from mild annoyance to severe and debilitating pain. Some pain in the knees is experienced only while doing certain activities, such as running or bending, while other patients have chronic and consistent pain in their knees.

 

Some things that might cause knee pain include vehicle accidents, work-related injuries, falling and having fractures, overuse or exertion, improper alignment, flat feet and lack of stability, disease, or genetic weakness of the knees. Some patients also find that they start getting pain in their knee from an old sports injury occurring 15-20 years prior.

 

Treatments for knee pain at Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation start with finding the cause of the pain and treating that cause. It may be cortisone injections, therapeutic exercise and physical therapy, massage, or encouraging a change in their diet, such as increasing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods.

 

You don’t have to live with knee pain. Contact our chiropractor Dr. Brian Bezak in Greenbelt, MD to discuss your knee pain treatment options.

Headaches

Headaches and migraines affect many individuals on a regular basis.

Spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercise, stress release technique and other treatments can all amount to significant reduction, if not total elimination of chronic headaches and migraines.

Knee Pain

You knees are particularly susceptible to overuse and injury.  They are the largest joint in the body and are responsible for your mobility.  When you experience pain in your knees it can severely affect your ability to comfortably carry out your daily activities.  I always stress that patients should not choose painkillers over treating the root cause of their pain.  Like neck, back, and shoulder pain, you should address the underlying cause of the pain in your knee.  Knee pain and discomfort can be due to sprains or strains from work related injuries, sports, or everyday activities.  They can also be caused by tears in ligaments or even breaks or fractures.

 

After I help you find the root cause of your pain, there are many services available at my office to help you find relief.  For a complete list of the services I offer, visit my website and call my office to schedule an appointment.  I look forward to helping you find relief!

• ·         Habitual activities at home


• ·         Dislocation from trauma


• ·         Pinched nerves


• ·         A fracture in your collar or the surrounding area

If you are having trouble determining the cause of your shoulder pain, visit me at my office and I can help you find the cause of your discomfort.  Through natural and healing chiropractic services I can help you find a solution that best suits your needs.

Automobile Accident Injuries – Muscles & Joints

If you have ever been in an automobile accident, you know that it’s a very stressful and often traumatizing experience.  Even in minor accidents or close-calls you can result in considerable stress and pressure that affects your soft tissue.  It’s not always easy to identify the problem when it actually occurs, as soft tissue trauma isn’t always apparent and pain and discomfort may not surface until days or weeks later.  For this reason, if you have recently been in an accident, it’s important to visit for an examination.

At my practice I am able to help patients that are experiencing whiplash by treating them with a variety on non-invasive, comprehensive chiropractic treatments. For a complete list of how we can help you recover from an automobile accident, visit our website: http://www.bezakchiroandrehab.com/auto-accidents/

Neck and Back Pain

Neck and back pain can be extremely uncomfortable and frustrating.  While your first instinct may be to turn to over-the-counter pain killers, medications are just a way to find temporary relief.  After the painkiller wears off you are left with the same discomfort, in addition to potential side effects from the drugs.  Chiropractic care makes it possible for patients to find natural and lasting pain relief. 

 

By finding the root cause of your pain you are able to better treat your symptoms.  Neck and back pain is often caused by muscle strain and trauma.  While it is best to visit my office to determine what form of treatment is best for your specific case, I often use electric muscle stimulation, ultrasound, trigger point therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and stretching among other chiropractic services.  If you are experiencing any neck or back pain, visit my office for help with genuine healing rather than treatment of the symptom.
