Understanding Chiropractic Care for Pain Management
Chiropractic care is a specialized healthcare discipline focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders related to the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. These disorders often impact overall health and are frequently associated with issues such as back pain, neck pain, joint discomfort in the arms or legs, and headaches. Chiropractic is widely recognized for its effectiveness in managing these neuromusculoskeletal complaints without the use of drugs or surgery.
How Does Chiropractic Care Work?
Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) use a hands-on, patient-centered approach to healthcare. Their practice includes thorough patient examinations, detailed diagnoses, and personalized treatment plans. Beyond their expertise in spinal adjustments, chiropractors are trained to recommend rehabilitative exercises and provide guidance on nutrition, diet, and lifestyle changes to promote holistic health and long-term wellness.
The Role of Spinal Manipulation in Pain Relief
One of the primary techniques utilized by chiropractors is spinal manipulation, also known as a chiropractic adjustment. This procedure involves the application of a controlled force to joints that have become restricted in their movement due to injury or strain. Joint restrictions, or “hypomobility,” often result from:
Acute injuries: such as improper lifting of heavy objects.
Chronic stressors: like poor posture during prolonged sitting or repetitive motion.
These injuries lead to changes in the affected tissues, causing inflammation, pain, and reduced function. Spinal manipulation works to restore joint mobility, relieving pain, reducing muscle tightness, and allowing the surrounding tissues to heal effectively.

Hailey Gundersen2024-11-15I have been seeing Dr. Berg since the middle of my second trimester and it has helped subside all lower back pain throughout my pregnancy. I’m now at 35 weeks and feeling great! Could not recommend his care more.
Angela Holland2024-07-12Great chiropractors. Amazing massage therapists.
Caitlin Schnaidt2024-06-07I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Berg and the entire teqm at Spaulding. I am pregnant and have been suffering from bad sciatica which made doing most basic things throughout the day extremely challenging. After starting to see Dr. Berg I am finally able to get through the day without being in a constant state of pain. He also sees my special needs toddler and we have seen great improvements in his physical movements and comfort level since beginning to see Dr. Berg. He is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, warm, and overall an amazing chiropractor. Everyone in the office is friendly, warm, and welcoming. I was very hesitant about starting to see a chiropractor while pregnant and have been nothing but pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the results of both my own, and my son's, experiences. If you're looking for a chiropractors office I highly recommend Dr. Berg and Spaulding chiropractic.

Meghan Hoffman2024-05-20I've been seeing Dr. Wyatt Berg throughout my entire eight months of pregnancy so far, and I can't recommend him enough! He is incredibly understanding and knowledgeable about the specific needs of pregnant women. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns and adjusts my treatments accordingly. His adjustments have helped to alleviate my lower back pain and improve my sleep. Most recently, my baby went from being in the breech position to head down after a couple of adjustments. Thanks to Dr. Berg's care, I’ve felt much more comfortable and mobile throughout my pregnancy. I highly recommend him to any pregnant women or any individual who is looking for a natural and effective way to manage aches and pains. Alisha Greenberg (Massage Therapist) and Teresa Grotkopp (Acupuncturist) I would also highly recommend. The cherry on top is that the office staff at Spaulding Chiropractic is always friendly and helpful.
Nigel Morton2024-05-20Dr. Berg truly cares about his craft and his patients. His care shows in the form results from appointment to appointment.
Cody Whiteley2024-05-09I took my 6 week old baby to see DR. Berg for hard to pass gas, excessive fussiness and instantly he was able to ease my baby. Over just a couple visits we noticed a huge difference and baby was much happier. We took him back again at 4 months because he was constipated - google told us it was normal to have inconsistent bowel movements around his age but it made him extremely fussy and uncomfortable. Within a couple hours after seeing DR Berg our baby began making regular bowel movements again and his mood improved drastically. My wife also saw Dr Berg after giving birth and having multiple complaints of pain and unusual sensations. He helped realign her pelvis, hips and relieve upper back/neck pain associated with breastfeeding/ holding baby. Dr Berg is incredibly knowledgeable, holistic and personable. He has a baby of his own so he is very gentle and intuitive. We cant recommend his expertise enough, he truly takes the time to listen, notice, and fix the problem or recommend resources or other specialists. To say the least, Chiropractic care with Dr Berg has been a game changer for both baby and momma. Fairbanks is truly lucky to have this high quality care.
Benefits of Chiropractic for Pain Management
Chiropractic care addresses the root causes of pain, rather than masking symptoms. By improving joint function and mobility, chiropractic adjustments not only provide immediate relief but also enhance the body’s natural healing process. Whether you’re dealing with acute pain or chronic discomfort, chiropractic offers a safe and effective solution to support your recovery and overall well-being.
Doctor of Chiropractic may assess patients through clinical examination, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging and other diagnostic interventions to determine when chiropractic treatment is appropriate or when it is not appropriate. Chiropractors will readily refer patients to the appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care is not suitable for the patients condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.
