Conditions We Treat
at Kinach Chiropractic in Excelsior

Low Back Pain

Low back pain is the most common reason people visit a chiropractor, affecting up to 80% of adults—especially between ages 50–55. While most cases fully recover, chiropractic care can speed up healing by addressing the root cause, often linked to poor core control and repetitive lifting or twisting. Dr. Andrew focuses on identifying the source of your pain, treating it effectively, and helping you prevent it from coming back.

Herniated Discs

Ever wonder what really causes a herniated disc? As we age, the cushioning discs in our spine can stiffen and break down, allowing the soft center to push outward and irritate nearby nerves. This pressure can lead to inflammation and radiating pain down the arm or leg—but understanding why it happens is the first step to real relief.

Neck Pain

Neck pain is the second most common reason people seek out chiropractic care—and for good reason. From headaches and TMJ issues to posture problems or disc herniations causing arm tingling, not all neck pain is created equal. That’s why at Kinach Chiropractic, we dig into the true source of your discomfort to create a treatment plan that actually works.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain doesn’t always mean the same thing, and shoulder impingement, caused when your rotator cuff gets pinched between your arm and shoulder blade, can seriously limit your motion and cause chronic irritation. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Andrew does more than mask the pain—he pinpoints what movement dysfunctions are at play, adjusts your shoulder, neck, and upper back, and custom-builds a rehab plan to restore mobility and prevent recurrence. Curious how freeing up your shoulder could change your game—or your daily life?

Hip Pain

Hip pain can stem from a wide range of causes, from tight hip flexors and muscle imbalances to joint stiffness or discomfort in the front, side, or back of your hip, especially if your muscles aren’t working together the way they should. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach takes the time to thoroughly assess what’s really behind your hip pain, then combines precise adjustments, targeted muscle work, and corrective exercises to help restore proper movement and lasting comfort. Curious how a tailored chiropractic approach could get your hips moving pain-free again?

TMJ Pain

If you're dealing with jaw pain that won't quit, TMJ could be the hidden culprit, and at Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Andrew addresses it in a surprisingly holistic way. By loosening tight muscles in your neck, face, and jaw, easing TMJ-related tension, and restoring proper movement, he tackles the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Want to see how unlocking your jaw's full range of motion can free you from persistent pain?

Headache

Headaches can feel like pressure, throbbing, or sharp pain—and no two are exactly alike. That’s why identifying the type of headache you’re dealing with is key to finding lasting relief. From tension and migraines to dehydration or neck-related pain, understanding the cause is the first step toward the right treatment.

Sciatica

Think your low back pain is sciatica? Not so fast — while they can be connected, sciatica has its own unique causes and symptoms, like tingling or numbness that travels down your leg. At Kinach Chiropractic, we dig deeper to find out exactly what's irritating your sciatic nerve so you get real relief — not just a temporary fix.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Feeling tingling, numbness, or weakness down your arm or hand? That could be Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, when nerves or blood vessels get compressed between your collarbone and first rib. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Andrew pinpoints tight muscles and posture issues, then uses targeted adjustments, manual muscle therapy, and corrective exercises to release the pressure and restore ease of movement. Want to discover how unlocking your upper body's flow can bring lasting relief?

Frozen Shoulder

Ever feel like your shoulder has locked down on you? That’s frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)—a gradually stiffening joint that becomes painful and restrictive over time but is highly treatable. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Andrew uses a tailored blend of adjustments, manual muscle work, and gentle range-of-motion exercises—stage by stage—to thaw your shoulder and help you regain confidence and ease in your movement. Want to break free from that icy grip and get back to pain‑free living?

Auto Injuries

Auto injuries can leave more than just aches and bruises, they often cause hidden tension, misalignments, and lingering pain that show up days or weeks later. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach carefully assesses your spine, joints, and muscles to relieve pain, restore motion, and help your body recover fully. Curious how targeted chiropractic care can get you back to feeling like yourself after a car accident?

Arthritis

Arthritis isn’t just “wear and tear”, it’s a condition that can quietly limit your movement, strength, and quality of life if not addressed properly. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach focuses on improving joint mobility, reducing stiffness, and strengthening the muscles that support your joints so you can keep moving with confidence. Want to learn how the right approach can help you stay active despite arthritis?

Plantar Fasciitis

That sharp heel or arch pain when you take your first steps could be plantar fasciitis, and it’s often a sign that your foot, ankle, or calf isn’t handling load the way it should. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach looks beyond the foot itself, using hands-on care and targeted movement strategies to relieve pain and restore proper mechanics. Curious why plantar fasciitis keeps coming back and how to finally break the cycle?

Ankle Sprain

An ankle sprain is more than a rolled ankle, it can leave behind stiffness, weakness, and instability that quietly increase your risk of re-injury. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach focuses on restoring proper joint motion, muscle balance, and confidence in your movement so your ankle truly heals, not just feels better. Want to know why untreated ankle sprains can affect your knee, hip, and even your back?

Patellar Tendinitis

That sharp pain just below your kneecap could be patellar tendinitis, often caused by repetitive jumping, running, or loading the knee without proper support. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach looks beyond the tendon itself, addressing strength deficits, movement mechanics, and muscle imbalances to help calm irritation and rebuild resilience. Curious why rest alone rarely fixes jumper’s knee for the long term?

Knee Pain

Knee pain isn’t always just a knee problem, it’s often the result of poor movement patterns, muscle imbalances, or joint stress above or below the knee. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach takes a whole-body approach to uncover what’s really causing your pain and creates a plan to restore strength, stability, and confidence in your movement. Want to find out why treating the root cause is the key to lasting knee relief?

Runner's Knee

That ache around or behind your kneecap might be runner’s knee, and it’s often less about the knee itself and more about how your hips, quads, and ankles are moving together. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach identifies the movement faults and muscle imbalances causing the irritation, then uses hands-on care and corrective exercises to keep you running pain-free. Want to know why resting alone rarely fixes runner’s knee for good?

Hamstring Strain

A hamstring strain isn’t just a pulled muscle, it’s often a warning sign that your body isn’t moving or loading correctly. At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Kinach looks beyond the strain itself, using hands-on muscle work, joint care, and targeted rehab to help you heal faster and reduce the risk of re-injury. Curious why hamstring injuries keep coming back and how to stop that cycle for good?

IT Band Pain

That tight, nagging pain along the outside of your thigh or knee could be IT band pain, and it’s often a sign that something else in your movement chain isn’t working right.

Want to learn why treating the root cause makes all the difference in lasting relief?

Concussion

Concussions aren’t just a sports injury; they can happen to anyone after a sudden jolt, fall, or car accident. While the brain takes center stage, lingering symptoms are often tied to muscle issues in the neck and shoulders. Understanding the full picture of a concussion, like in high-profile cases with NFL and NHL athletes, is key to real recovery, and not just a quick return to activity.

Whiplash

Whiplash might seem like a simple neck strain, but its effects can linger long after the accident or impact.

At Kinach Chiropractic, Dr. Andrew uses proven, sport-specific techniques to help you recover faster and feel like yourself again.

Rib Pain

Struggling with pain when breathing deeply, twisting, or reaching overhead? It could be due to restricted rib movement from muscle spasms around your back or rib cage.
