Chiropractors treat a wide variety of conditions. Treating low back or neck pain are the conditions most often associated with Chiropractors. I like to categorize the conditions that respond very well to chiropractic and the second would be those conditions that might be helped by chiropractic.
The “might be helped” category are conditions where I have personally seen sustained, although subjective, improvement due to manipulation. The only explanation I can tender for the improvements seen in these cases is that the theory of information flow interruption to and from the nervous system may apply to these individuals. Manipulation does not work in all of these cases. If fact, it is very hit or miss. Obviously, other factors are involved but it would not be inappropriate to try a short course of manipulation in these cases.
The conditions listed below seem to respond well to chiropractic treatments (Note: The Bolded conditions seem to respond very well):
| Carpal Tunnel | Disc Herniations | Extremity numbness |
| Fibromyalgia | Frozen shoulder | Headaches |
| Hip pain | Knee pain | Leg pain |
| Low back pain | Mid-back pain | Neck pain |
| Plantar Fascitis | Rib pain | Rotator Cuff pain |
| Sciatic pain | Scoliosis | Shoulder pain |
| Sternal pain | Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow | Whiplash pain |
The conditions listed below are those that may be helped but not cured by chiropractic:
| ADHD/ADD | Asthma | Chronic cough |
| Chronic sinusitis | Constipation | Infantile colic |
| IBS |
