Common Conditions We Treat at Bay Injury & Rehab

What It Is:
 Between each vertebra are discs that absorb shock and allow movement. Trauma, lifting, or repetitive strain can cause these discs to bulge or herniate, pressing on nearby nerves.

Symptoms May Include:

• Neck or back pain
• Numbness, pain, or tingling down arms or legs
• Muscle weakness

Our Approach:
 We utilize McKenzie Method Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT), chiropractic therapy, physical therapy, spinal decompression therapy, massage therapy, and self care postural and movement education to reduce pressure, restore function, and relieve symptoms — often avoiding injections or surgery.

What It Is:
 Over time, natural “wear and tear” affects the discs and joints in your spine — a process accelerated by injury, weight, poor posture, or repetitive strain.

Symptoms:

• Stiffness or aching in the spine
• Reduced mobility
• Radiating pain or discomfort

Our Approach:
 We focus on improving joint mechanics, posture, and strength to slow degeneration and maintain mobility. Chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy and lifestyle guidance help protect your spine long-term.

What It Is:
 The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back down each leg. When compressed by a disc injury or tight muscles, it can cause pain, tingling, or weakness.

Common Causes:

• Disc herniation
• Muscle tension in the lower back or hips
• Poor posture or sitting habits

Our Approach:
 We perform a detailed assessment to pinpoint the source of irritation and use gentle spinal adjustments, MDT therapy, massage therapy, physical therapy, spinal decompression traction, postural and movement education, and strengthening to relieve pressure and restore mobility.

What It Is:
 The neck supports your head and protects vital nerves — making it vulnerable to stress, injury, or postural strain. Whiplash from auto accidents is a frequent cause.

Symptoms:

• Neck stiffness or pain radiating into the shoulders
• Headaches or dizziness
• Tingling or numbness in arms

Our Approach:
 We combine chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage, and ergonomic coaching to restore mobility and reduce tension. Early care after an injury helps prevent chronic pain.

Common Causes:

• Nerve irritation in the neck
• Rotator cuff or tendon injuries
• Bursitis, tendonitis, or joint degeneration
• Repetitive strain or poor posture

Our Approach:
 After ruling out cardiac or medical causes, we identify whether pain originates in the neck, shoulder, or arm. Treatment may include targeted physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and strengthening exercises for long-term relief.

What It Is:
 Headaches can arise from tension, posture, muscle imbalance, or nerve irritation in the neck and shoulders.

Common Types:

• Tension headaches
• Migraine
• Sinus or cluster headaches

Our Approach:
 We identify triggers and address the mechanical causes through spinal adjustments, physical therapy, massage, stretching, and posture correction. Many patients experience noticeable improvement in both frequency and intensity.

What It Is:
 Athletic injuries can affect muscles, tendons, and joints — from weekend workouts to competitive sports.

Common Types:

• Sprains and strains
• Tendonitis (e.g., tennis or golfer’s elbow)

Our Approach:

We provide evaluation, soft-tissue therapy, and functional rehab to get you moving safely again. We also guide you in prevention, warm-up, and technique to reduce recurrence.
