​

​

Sports Injuries

Injuries are common amongst athlete’s and need to be addressed. Our mission is to go beyond fixing an injury; we want to educate our patients on how to prevent reinjuries. Helping our patients be self-sufficient is our top priority.

​

​

Low Back pain

Low back pain can come from various origins; we utilize our comprehensive approach to determine the source.  Low back pain can be debilitating, but it is important to understand there is always a solution to improve your quality of life.

​

​

Tendinitis

This is irritation/inflammation of a tendon due to overuse or repeated dysfunctional movements. The most common tendons affected are: achilles, patellar, and supraspinatus. Simply resting will not fix this problem; the area needs to slowly build up a tolerance for being loaded.

​

​

Women's Health Issues

Dr. Melissa Caulfield has advanced training in pre and post-partum pain and dysfunction. This includes, but is not limited to: pelvic floor weakness/instability, gastrointestinal problems,  c-section rehabilitation, and post-operative scarring.

​

​

Neck Pain

Neck pain is often the result of sitting for long periods of time, stress, and/or inactivity. Understanding ergonomics and how to do exercises throughout the day can drastically reduce symptoms in little to no time.

 

​

Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines can be caused by a number of factors, such as nutrition, muscle tension, hormonal imbalance, or irregular blood pressure. Taking a well detailed history can help discover the source of the problem.

 

​

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the fascia that connects the heel bone to the toes. This condition is associated with pin-pointed pain on the bottom of the foot, often towards the heel.

 

​

Vertebral Disc Derangement

This general term encompassing any disc abnormality (e.g. degeneration, herniation, bulge). Finding what movement the pain/radiation responds to is the key to regaining full function. Approximately 37% of ASYMPTOMATIC (no pain) individuals in their 20’s will demonstrate a disc issue on an MRI, and this number rises to 80% in asymptomatic individuals in their 50’s. These numbers prove that just because an MRI demonstrates a disc issue, it does not have to be painful. Conservative care measures must always be attempted before surgical intervention is recommended.

​

​

TMJ Dysfunction

This umbrella term encompasses any dysfunction of the muscles that connect to the jaw and the temporomandibular joint. TMJ is often the culprit of neck pain and headaches. A thorough exam is warranted to determine if the TMJ might be part of the problem.

​

 

Sciatica

Sciatica refers to back, hip, or leg pain as a result of the sciatic nerve being interrupted along its pathway from the lower back down the back of the leg. 90% of the time, true sciatica is caused by a herniated disc compressing a lumbar or sacral nerve root. This is often confused with piriformis syndrome, where the sciatic nerve is compressed by the piriformis muscle.
