At Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Portsmouth, Virginia, we provide gentle, effective care to help patients find lasting relief from pain and improve their overall well-being. Using advanced techniques like the Cox® Flexion-Distraction Method, soft-tissue therapy, Shockwave and acupuncture, we treat a wide range of spinal, muscular, and joint conditions. Whether your discomfort stems from posture, injury, or everyday stress, our goal is to restore balance, improve mobility, and support long-term healing.
Neck Pain
Neck discomfort often develops from tension, whiplash, or poor ergonomics. Gentle chiropractic care helps restore motion to restricted joints, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain.
Tension Headaches
These headaches are commonly caused by tight muscles and joint dysfunction in the neck and upper back. Chiropractic treatment relieves muscle tension and improves joint motion, helping reduce frequency and intensity.
Migraine Headaches
Migraines can be debilitating and are often linked to nerve irritation or muscle stress. We take a holistic approach to identify triggers, support the nervous system, and reduce migraine severity and frequency.
Arm Pain
Nerve irritation in the neck or shoulder can cause pain, tingling, or weakness in the arm. Specific chiropractic adjustments and soft-tissue therapy help reduce nerve pressure and restore natural function.
Low Back Pain
Low back pain can result from posture issues, lifting injuries, or disc problems. Our treatments focus on correcting joint dysfunction, relieving nerve pressure, and reducing inflammation for lasting relief.
Mid-Back Pain
Pain between the shoulder blades or along the spine often stems from muscle strain or restricted joint movement. Chiropractic adjustments and posture correction improve flexibility and reduce discomfort.
Disc Herniations
A herniated disc occurs when disc material presses on a spinal nerve, often causing sharp or radiating pain. The Cox® Flexion-Distraction Technique gently decompresses the spine to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Disc Bulges
A disc bulge, though less severe than a herniation, can still irritate nearby nerves. Gentle decompression and targeted care relieve pressure and restore spinal mobility.
Rib Pain
Rib or chest wall pain often develops from restricted rib joint motion or muscle strain. Chiropractic adjustments can restore rib mobility, making breathing and movement more comfortable.
Leg Pain / Sciatica
Pain radiating down the leg—commonly called sciatica—can result from nerve compression in the lower back. Chiropractic adjustments and Cox® Distraction Therapy help reduce pressure on the affected nerves and restore mobility.
Tennis Elbow
This overuse injury causes pain along the outer part of the elbow. Chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy, and acupuncture work together to reduce inflammation, improve motion, and promote healing.
Golfer’s Elbow
A similar condition affecting the inner elbow, golfer’s elbow results from repetitive strain. Treatment focuses on restoring normal joint movement, reducing inflammation, and supporting tendon repair.
