Life is full of repetitive movements and unexpected stresses that can slowly pull your body out of tune. The individuals who seek comprehensive chiropractic care at our Dover office often describe a collection of feelings and limitations that have become their "new normal." It might be the persistent stiffness in the neck and upper back that’s a constant reminder of long hours spent at a computer. For others, it’s a nagging ache in the lower back that makes simple pleasures, like gardening or taking a walk around Willand Pond, feel more like a chore. Many people in Dover describe a recurring tension headache that builds throughout the day, making it difficult to be present with family in the evenings. Sometimes, the issue is less about overt pain and more about a feeling of being physically restricted, as if your body’s emergency brake is partially engaged, preventing you from moving with the freedom you once had. At Thrive Family Chiropractic, we listen to these experiences because they are the real-world symptoms of underlying functional issues. We frequently support individuals who are dealing with:
- A persistent feeling of tightness or restricted movement in their spine.
- Radiating discomfort that travels from the back or hip into the leg.
- Chronic tension in the shoulders and neck area.
- A noticeable decline in flexibility or balance.
- General fatigue and a sense of not being able to fully recover from physical activity.
