Finding a good and experienced chiropractor in Chicago Illinois can be a tough job. We know there are many to choose from in the Chicago area but we feel that here, at Advanced Spine & Sports Care, we set the standard for chiropractic care and beyond. In the below paragraph we have described what chiropractic is and throughout this website you will see that Advanced Spine & Sports Care treats many types of pain and includes extensive exercise rehabilitation with our many modalities.
Most People think that you go to a chiropractor just for back pain, but Dr. Jason Ingham treats many types of pain and includes many technologies to treat pain and keep his patients on track for a healthy lifestyle. Chiropractors in general treat 'subluxations' or misalignment of the spine. When spinal irritation to the nerves is reduced, nerve function is restored, and the body typically returns to a more optimal state, resulting in improved health.
Chiropractors use the spinal adjustment as the main method of spinal correction. A spinal adjustment is a precise, manually delivered, gentle force into a stuck or misaligned joint. Adjustments improve range-of-motion (flexibility) and can result in a sensation of well being due to improved nerve and vascular (circulatory) function.

We Offer Chiropractic Adjustments.
Let's look at an adjustment of the neck.
Why an adjustment is done.
Chiropractors can correct subluxations through a manual adjustments and soft tissue techniques. During the actual adjustment a popping sound may be heard as the vertabrea are re-aligned. The realigned vertebrea relives the pressure on the sorrounding nerves and soft tissue, providing relief of pain in the area.
We Offer Auto Injury Care.
Whiplash can occur days after the accident.

We Offer Cervical Spinal Decompression for Chronic Neck Pain
We treat your chronic neck pain.
Cervical Spinal Decompression
Cervical Spinal Decompression provides relief to chronic neck pain sufferers by painlessly reducing the pressure within spinal discs. The vertebrae of the spine are slowly forced apart during Spinal Decompression therapy. As the vertebrae are separated pressure is slowly reduced within the disc (intradiscal pressure) until a negative vacuum is formed. This vacuum pulls the body's own natural element into the wounded area and has even been shown to reduce the size of an existing disc bulge or disc herniation. Significant disc bulge reduction removes pressure off the spinal nerves and drastically reduces pain and disability.

We Treat Sciatia Pain Down Your Legs
This video will explain what sciatica pain is and why it hurts.
Sciatia Pain Down Your Legs
Sciatica is a shooting pain that begins in the lower back, radiates into the buttock and down the back of one leg. The pain is often caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve from a herniated disc, bone spurs or muscle strain (Fig. 1). You play an important role in the prevention, treatment, and recovery of leg pain. It typically improves with rest, physical therapy, and other self-care measures. Chronic pain may be helped with Spinal Decompression.

Cervical Disc Degeneration
This video will describe what cervical disc degeneration is and how it causes pain.
Cervical Disc Degeneration
Cervical degenerative disc disease is a common cause of neck pain and radiating arm pain. It develops when one or more of the cushioning discs in the cervical spine starts to break down due to wear and tear. Cervical degenerative disc disease is diagnosed when a damaged disc in the spine becomes symptomatic. Spinal decompression may help stop the pain from cervical disc degeneration.

Cervical Disc Herniation
This video will describe what cervical disc herniation is and how it causes pain.
Cervical Disc Herniation
A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like center of your disc ruptures out through a tear in the tough disc wall. The gel material is irritating to your spinal nerves, causing something like a chemical irritation. The pain is a result of spinal nerve inflammation and swelling caused by the pressure of the herniated disc. Spinal decompression may relive the pain caused and avoid painful and costly surgery.

Cervical Disc Misalignment
This video will describe what cervical disc misalignment is and how it causes pain.
Cervical Disc Misalignment
When a misalignment of the upper cervical spine occurs, the central nervous system can be stressed in a variety of ways that can cause negative health consequences. The chiropractic profession is founded on the principle of spinal misalignments or subluxations compromising the functioning of the nervous system. When the nervous system is compromised, the ability of the body to self regulate and self heal is also compromised because the nervous system is the master coordinating system in our bodies. Misalignments of the upper cervical spine effect the spinal cord, and therefore the central nervous system directly and that is why it is so critical to be specific and gentle when trying to correct these misalignments and why, if left uncorrected, many health problems linger.

Facet Syndrome
This video will describe what facet syndrome is and how it causes pain.
Facet Syndrome
Pain stemming from the facet joints is termed “facet syndrome.” The facet joints become inflamed and may cause pain, soreness and stiffness. Patients often report increased pain with extension or prolonged periods of inactivity like sitting or standing too long. Changing positions often improves pain. Facet syndrome pain may feel worse in the morning and improve after moving around as the day progresses. However, for those who work sitting all day with poor posture, they may experience pain throughout the day.

Herniated or Slipped Disc
This video will describe what a herniated or slipped disc is and how it causes pain.
Herniated or Slipped Disc
This condition occurs when the soft center of a spinal disk pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. Some herniated discs cause no symptoms. Others can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg. Not every disc needs intervention. Spinal decompression may relive the pain caused and avoid painful and costly surgery.

Whiplash
This video will describe what whiplash is and how it causes pain, even days after a car accident.
Whiplash after a car accident
If you have been involved in a car accident, whiplash injuries need to be taken very seriously. Because symptoms of a whiplash injury can take weeks or months to manifest, it is easy to be fooled into thinking that you are not as injured as you really are. Too often people don't seek treatment following a car accident because they don't feel hurt. By far, the most common injury to the neck is a whiplash injury.Whiplash is caused by a sudden movement of the head, either backward, forward, or sideways, that results in the damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues in the neck and upper back.

The Amazing Human Spine
Learn about the human spine and how each vertebre affect your bodily functions
The Amazing Human Spine
The vertebrae in the human vertebral column are divided into different regions, which correspond to the curves of the spinal column. The articulating vertebrae are named according to their region of the spine. Vertebrae in these regions are essentially alike, with minor variation. These regions are called the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacrum and coccyx. There are seven cervical vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae and five lumbar vertebrae. The number of vertebrae in a region can vary but overall the number remains the same. The number of those in the cervical region however is only rarely changed.[4] The vertebrae of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spines are independent bones, and generally quite similar. The vertebrae of the sacrum and coccyx are usually fused and unable to move independently. Two special vertebrae are the atlas and axis, on which the head rests. Anatomy of a vertebra
A typical vertebra consists of two parts: the vertebral body and the vertebral arch. The vertebral arch is posterior, meaning it faces the back of a person. Together, these enclose the vertebral foramen, which contains the spinal cord. Because the spinal cord ends in the lumbar spine, and the sacrum and coccyx are fused, they do not contain a central foramen. The vertebral arch is formed by a pair of pedicles and a pair of laminae, and supports seven processes, four articular, two transverse, and one spinous, the latter also being known as the neural spine. Two transverse processes and one spinous process are posterior to (behind) the vertebral body. The spinous process comes out the back, one transverse process comes out the left, and one on the right. The spinous processes of the cervical and lumbar regions can be felt through the skin.
Above and below each vertebra are joints called facet joints. These restrict the range of movement possible, and are joined by a thin portion of the neural arch called the pars interarticularis. In between each pair of vertebrae are two small holes called intervertebral foramina. The spinal nerves leave the spinal cord through these holes.
