“UAPs” – Unidentified Aches and Pains

So often, new patients tell us they went to their doctor with a particular ailment or discomfort, only to hear (after a series of tests) that there's no reason they should feel that way! Are you just imagining things? Probably not – perhaps you simply need to come to Complete Wellness to identify the cause!

Nervousness and Irritability

Do you get annoyed easily? Do you suffer frequently from short temper, anxiety, irritability, inattentiveness or moodiness? Many people would have us believe that these traits are all in our heads, and that we simply don't respond well to stress. In fact, an irritation to your nerve system may be physically lowering your agitation threshold. Complete Wellness can help make that determination.

Fatigue

Many of us tend to wear our tiredness as a badge of honor – we're far too busy to get enough sleep! But when you feel like you can never get enough sleep to feel energized, and a nap always sounds like a great idea, you may suffer from chronic fatigue. The irony is that with fatigue, lack of sleep isn't always the main issue – it's possible that your body isn't functioning properly, causing an "energy leak" in your system. Complete Wellness can put you back on track.

 

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is a surprisingly common complaint that doesn't sound serious until you've suffered from it yourself; it can often prevent you from sleeping on your side, lifting your arm over your head or even putting on your shirt. The causes can range from whiplash and bursitis to injuries to the soft tissues, and the muscles, tendons and ligaments they contain. Let Complete Wellness help you eliminate the pain.

Joint Pain

Experiencing pain in more than one joint for an extended period of time isn't something you have to live with. We will help you determine the cause of your pain, and what we can do to treat it.

Chronic Sinusitis

Chronic sinusitis (sometimes referred to as chronic rhinosinusitis) occurs when the cavities around the nasal passages (sinuses) become congested with mucus, inflamed or swollen. It can also come from infection. The unpleasant results can include face pain, headache, fatigue or low-level dizziness. If you think you may have chronic sinusitis, we can help.

 

Poor Posture

As a child, you probably had a parent or teacher admonish you to "sit up straight!" Well, they were right! Whether the result of trauma or bad habits, poor posture can lead to neck, back and shoulder pain; fatigue; muscle strain and other disorders. By treating your poor posture, Complete Wellness can increase your energy, improve your appearance and "straighten you out"...and we'll be nicer about it than your parents and teachers.

Headaches and Migraines

Do you find yourself popping an ibuprofen pill or tablet of aspirin two or more times a week to rid yourself of a headache? The relief can feel great, but the truth is you're only masking the pain temporarily. Complete Wellness can identify the root cause and help remove it.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Anyone who has suffered from hand or wrist discomfort knows how painful it can be. Often, the pain comes from a pinched nerve in the wrist, referred to as carpal tunnel syndrome. A number of factors can contribute to this ailment, including the anatomy of your wrist, underlying health problems or even the way you position your hands and wrist when you type. Fortunately, Complete Wellness' specialists can help you eliminate the pain and restore normal use of your wrists and hands.

 

Pins and Needles

We talk about sitting on pins and needles when we eagerly await something...but no one eagerly waits the literal medical condition of pins and needles, a sensation of uncomfortable tingling, usually felt in the hands or feet; sometimes, we say our hands or feet have "fallen asleep." These tingling sensations can be symptomatic of nerve damage, a pinched nerve, nervous system disorders, or awkward postures that compress the nerves. Regardless of the cause, we can help the horrible feeling go away.

Digestive Issues

Chronic constipation; irritable bowel syndrome; excessive gas; reflux; the feeling that your system isn't quite right...these things and more can be signs of digestive issues we can treat.

Back and Neck Pain Syndromes

Many people believe back and neck pain is a normal part of life that we simply need to "live with." Not so! That pain in your neck or back may be the result of a pinched nerve, muscle spasm or contraction, and caused by any number of factors ranging from poor posture to stress. Whatever the cause of your neck or back pain, we can help you identify the root cause and treat it.

 

Plantar Fasciitis

Do you have ongoing pain on the bottom of your foot – particularly when your foot touches the floor first thing in the morning? Do you tend to limp when you take your first few steps following an extensive period of sitting or lying down? You may suffer from plantar fasciitis (Fash-EYE-tis), a painful and chronic inflammation of the connective tissue on the bottom of your foot. Complete Wellness knows how to address this pain successfully through aggressive treatment.
