Audubon Park, Spokane Chiropractic Short Term Care
At Audubon Park Chiropractic in Spokane, our mantra is to offer short term chiropractic care designed to get you out of pain fast and effectively. Because of this we never offer long term treatment plans.
Our Spokane chiropractic team will treat you based on your condition and your needs and when you are pain free or happy with your pain levels, that’s it, you don’t need to come back unless you want to for maintenance or to keep on top of things.
Spokane chiropractic care treats a multitude of conditions throughout the body. The term chiropractic comes from two Greek words, chiro meaning by hand, and prctic being practical. Put together, you have the concept of practicing by hand.
The father of chiropractic, Daniel David Palmer, was an avid proponent of alternative medicine and believed the body was capable of healing itself with the right conditions. One of the most influential stories in the starting of chiropractic was when Palmer adjusted a man who had impaired hearing and a palpable lump on his back.
The adjustment caused the deafness to improve significantly leading belief that the spine had a great deal to do with improving health and wellbeing.
For today, chiropractic has been studied and researched extensively and is well known to being one of the best ways to help and improve back pain conditions through decompression of the spine, releasing nerves, restoring function and improving range of motion.
Indeed, to become a doctor of chiropractic takes significantly more study time than being a general medical doctor.
Dr Jim Snyder and Dr Michelle Snyder our Spokane Chiropractic doctors, have both studied and practiced for many years in becoming the doctors they are today.

Spokane Chiropractic Treats the Following Conditions and More:
So what is Audubon Park, Spokane chiropractic care good for?
Back Pain
The primary treatment that chiropractors treat for is back pain, with the majority of focus being on the low back. The condition is extremely common, stats show that some 80% of people will have back pain of some form within their lives, and some 50% experiencing a minimum of ten episodes over the course of life.
Moreover, over 149 million work days are lost because of back pain, costing businesses some $200 billion per year.
Some causes of back pain are as follows:
- Lifestyle
- Repetitive work
- Lack of exercise
- Traumas
- Accident
- Driving
- Poor posture
There are countless other reasons why it happens.

Pain occurs because the back becomes inflammed. Generally, this inflammation is caused by improper function. So an area in the back has become injured, you aren’t able to move as well as normal and then adhesions begin to form to protect the injury. As you try and move, these adhesions generate friction which increases inflammation and before long, you’re in a downward spiral into chronic pain.
This is where our Spokane chiropractic care comes in. Chiropractic care helps break up these adhesions through a series of adjustments. The joints are returned to proper positions, any muscles and trigger points are helped and proper function resumes. This ultimately reduces inflammation and thus pain.
All conservatively, all without medication and drugs with harmful side effects and all perfectly natural and efficient. That’s our mantra here at Audubon Park Chiropractic, to treat you drug free and as naturally as possible.
If you have suffered from back pain, call us today or simply walk in. We are here to help.
Neck Pain
Neck pain is the second most common complaint that chiropractors see and treat. Neck pain, like back pain, is caused by factors such as repetitive strains, poor posture, accident injury (whiplash) and so on.
It can permeate in both directions, causing pain the the upper back and shoulders, or go up and generate headaches. It can also cause problems, pain and numbness into the arms and hands.
Once again, Spokane chiropractic care can help treat and resolve many of these issues. We have many techniques and instruments that can be used to treat neck pain, to improve function and to reduce pain.
We can “crack” the neck that allows pressure built up between the joints to pop and relieve pressure. If you don’t like that idea, we have other modalities that give the same results but more conservatively.
We will never do anything you are not comfortable with. So if you are suffering with neck pain, come in and see us. We can help you. It’s what we do here at Audubon Park Chiropractic.

Back Pain

Neck Pain
Accident Injury
Did you know that the force of an impact even as slow as 6mph can generate whiplash in a body? And some 30% of whiplash victims find that their pain becomes chronic within months of an accident if not treated properly?
Whiplash is an often misunderstood injury and it’s not uncommon to see patients who had an accident years before still suffering. The best advice is to come in and see us as soon as you can after an accident for whiplash symptoms to be treated quickly and properly.
We understand that many times in an accident you have other injuries that may be more serious and need priority. It may be that you don’t even think whiplash will even become an issue and the pain will eventually improve. In some cases it does.

However, the time to be treated is within a week of your accident, even if it is only a minor one. You see, what happens, when in an impact, your seat belt does its job and prevents you flying through the windshield. The problem is it hold your body but not your head. Your head follows forward as your body stops, and then is thrust backwards in a whip like manner.
This tears many micro fibers in your neck muscles and this is the pain you feel. If left untreated, these fibers will repair, but they will do so randomly and your range of stretch is reduced and eventually your muscles are tight and tense and this causes compression of the joints which leads to improper function, inflammation and pain.
What a chiropractor will do is to help the fibers to heal properly by adjusting the neck area and allowing proper function of the neck while healing takes place. The fibers will heal at the proper lengths meaning you will not suffer any future problems.
There’s another reason why you should be treated soon after an accident and that is to document all your injuries for insurance purposes. Along with other documents like your accident report, a thorough health examination and treatment documentation is essential for making a successful claim on insurance.
If you ignore one part of this process and your find yourself struggling 6 months down the line, if your injury wasn’t documented in the early stages, then insurance is unlikely to pay out. You will therefore feel pain in your neck and your wallet.
If you’ve been involved in an accident, come and see us as soon as you can so we can help you out of pain and provide you with the appropriate documentation for insurance purposes.
Headaches
Headaches are something else chiropractic care can treat. Depending on what the cause of the pain is, chiropractic can absolutely help.
