What We Treat at Slovin Chiropractic Center: The 10 Most Common Pain Conditions
At Slovin Chiropractic Center in Norwalk, Connecticut, we see people who are in pain — sometimes from a recent injury, sometimes from years of wear and tear. Here’s the truth: we don’t know if we can help you until we’ve examined you.
Everybody is different. Two people can have the same diagnosis and completely different underlying causes. That’s why the first step is always a detailed exam — not assumptions, not promises.
What we can share is this: over the years, these are the most common pain conditions we’ve seen in our clinic and have helped many patients recover from through conservative, evidence-based chiropractic care.
1. Headaches & Migraines
Tension headaches and migraines often start in the neck or upper back. Postural strain, tight muscles, or joint misalignment can trigger pain that radiates into the head.
We look for the structural or muscular causes and, when appropriate, use gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue work, and posture retraining to restore balance and motion.
If symptoms point to something more serious, we collaborate with neurologists or other medical professionals.
2. Neck Pain
Neck pain is one of the most frequent reasons patients visit our office. It can develop from stress, desk work, poor posture, or previous injury.
We evaluate whether the pain is joint, muscle, or nerve related. When chiropractic care is appropriate, we use precise cervical adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and tailored exercises to restore mobility and reduce strain.
3. Whiplash
Even a minor car accident can cause long-lasting neck and shoulder pain.
We start with a full exam and imaging if needed to assess the extent of the injury. Our approach may include gentle mobilization, targeted adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and progressive rehabilitation exercises to restore function and alignment safely. We begin with a comprehensive exam and imaging, if necessary, to determine the extent of the injury.
4. Shoulder Pain
Shoulder discomfort often stems from more than just the shoulder itself. Imbalances in the neck or upper back can affect how the shoulder moves.
We identify the underlying mechanical issues and restore proper motion through chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilization, and corrective exercises.
If imaging or orthopedic input is necessary, we coordinate it promptly to ensure a complete care plan.
5. Arm Pain & Nerve Symptoms
Pain, tingling, or numbness in the arm is often a sign of nerve irritation in the neck or shoulder region.
We perform focused testing to identify the affected nerve area and develop a treatment plan that may include specific adjustments, muscle release, and guided exercises.
When appropriate, we co-manage with neurologists to ensure the best outcomes for nerve-related cases.
6. Back Pain
Back pain is the most common issue we evaluate — and one of the most misunderstood.
We don’t assume the cause; we find it. That could be a restricted joint, a muscular imbalance, a disc issue, or posture-related strain.
Once we identify the root cause of the problem, we use chiropractic adjustments, movement training, and stability exercises to restore natural motion and reduce pain.
7. Disc Problems
Herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs can create pain, stiffness, or nerve irritation.
Our goal is to determine whether conservative care is the right fit. When it is, we use gentle chiropractic techniques, movement correction, and rehabilitation exercises to help the disc heal and improve spinal function.
We also partner with medical specialists when imaging or co-management is appropriate.
8. Leg Pain & Sciatica
Leg pain and sciatica often result from irritation of the nerves in the lower back or pelvis. This irritation can develop from misalignment, muscle tension, or poor posture that places stress on the sciatic nerve.
At Slovin Chiropractic Center, we begin by identifying the root cause of the problem. Once we know where the nerve is being affected, we use specific chiropractic adjustments to restore healthy motion to the spine and pelvis.
We then teach stability and corrective exercises to strengthen the muscles that protect those areas and prevent nerve irritation. Because daily habits play a major role, we also review your posture and ergonomics—how you sit, stand, and move—to help you maintain long-term relief and prevent recurrence.
Our goal is to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and build a stronger, more resilient foundation for your body’s movement.
9. Sports Injuries
We care for athletes and active people dealing with sprains, strains, and repetitive-motion injuries.
Our process begins with a movement assessment to identify where mechanics are breaking down. When chiropractic care is appropriate, we restore proper joint motion, relieve tension, and teach movement patterns that enhance performance and reduce the risk of future injury.
10. Automobile Accident Injuries
Car accidents can cause complex spinal and soft-tissue injuries that impact the entire body.
We conduct a detailed examination to identify any underlying joint or nerve issues, then build a plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, muscle therapy, and progressive rehabilitation. We regularly coordinate with imaging centers, physicians, and physical therapists to ensure full and safe recovery.
