Injuries & Conditions

Work Injury

Work-related injuries can occur suddenly or develop over time from repetitive motion, heavy lifting, or prolonged sitting. Common symptoms include back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness, headaches, and muscle strain. At Gentle Chiropractic in Port St. Lucie, we provide personalized, non-invasive care to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help patients safely return to work and daily activities.

Slip and Fall Injury

Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries to the spine, joints, and soft tissues, even if symptoms don’t appear immediately. These injuries often result in back pain, neck pain, sprains, or nerve irritation. Our gentle chiropractic approach focuses on identifying hidden injuries, reducing inflammation, and promoting natural healing to prevent long-term complications.

Sports Injury

Sports injuries affect athletes of all ages and activity levels, from weekend warriors to competitive players. Strains, sprains, joint injuries, and spinal misalignments can limit performance and increase the risk of re-injury. Gentle Chiropractic offers customized treatment plans to relieve pain, improve flexibility, and support a safe, efficient recovery so patients can return to the activities they love.

Personal Injury

Personal injuries from accidents such as car crashes or falls can lead to chronic pain if not treated properly. These injuries often impact the spine, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Our Port St. Lucie chiropractic team provides gentle, effective care designed to reduce pain, support healing, and document injuries appropriately while focusing on long-term wellness.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a common neck injury often caused by auto accidents, particularly rear-end collisions. It occurs when the head is suddenly forced forward and backward, straining muscles, ligaments, and joints. Symptoms may include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and shoulder discomfort. Gentle Chiropractic uses safe, targeted techniques to restore movement, reduce inflammation, and support full recovery.

Disc Injury

Flexion/Distraction and DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression

Disc injuries, including bulging or herniated discs, can cause back pain, neck pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates into the arms or legs. At Gentle Chiropractic, we offer advanced treatments such as Flexion/Distraction therapy and DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression to relieve pressure on the spine, reduce nerve irritation, and promote disc healing—without surgery or medication.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine that can affect posture, mobility, and overall comfort. While it often develops during childhood or adolescence, adults may also experience pain and stiffness related to spinal curvature. Our gentle chiropractic care focuses on improving spinal alignment, increasing flexibility, and helping patients manage symptoms for a better quality of life.

Degenerative Conditions

Degenerative conditions such as arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and spinal joint wear can develop naturally with age or from past injuries. These conditions often cause stiffness, chronic pain, and reduced mobility. Gentle Chiropractic utilizes flexion/distraction therapy to gently decompress the spine, improve motion, and reduce discomfort—helping patients stay active and comfortable as they age.
