Conditions We Treat in Fredericton

Our Approach

At Fredericton Family Chiropractic, Dr. Scott Brayall and the team provide evidence-based care for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. We use a combination of chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation strategies — including specialized tools like the Activator and Arthrostim — tailored to each patient’s needs.

Our goal is to help you reduce pain, restore mobility, and get back to the activities that matter most. We treat patients of all ages in Fredericton, Oromocto, CFB Gagetown, and surrounding communities — from students and desk workers to athletes and veterans.

Below are some of the most common conditions we help with. If you do not see yours listed, contact our clinic — our team will let you know if we can help.

Common Conditions We Treat

Neck Pain

Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people walk through our door. For many patients in Fredericton, it develops gradually — from long hours at a desk, prolonged screen use, or the kind of postural strain that builds over semesters at UNB or STU. For others, it comes on suddenly after an accident or a poor night’s sleep. Whatever the cause, targeted chiropractic care and soft tissue treatment can help restore range of motion and reduce tension before it becomes a chronic problem.

Low Back Pain

Low back pain is the leading reason people visit a chiropractor — and it can come from almost anywhere. A lifting injury at work, years of sitting, poor movement patterns, or disc irritation can all play a role. Many of our patients put up with back pain far longer than they need to before getting assessed. The sooner we identify what is driving the pain, the faster we can start working on restoring normal movement and getting you back to your daily routine.

Mid Back Pain

Mid back pain often sneaks up on people. It tends to build gradually from postural strain, prolonged sitting, or repetitive activity — and many patients are surprised when it starts limiting how they move, sleep, or work. Treatment may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and practical strategies to reduce strain on the thoracic spine going forward.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can develop from muscle strain, joint irritation, repetitive overhead movements, or athletic activity. It is one of the more frustrating conditions patients deal with because it affects so many everyday tasks — reaching, carrying, sleeping comfortably. Chiropractic and soft tissue therapies can help restore normal movement patterns and reduce discomfort in the shoulder complex.

Whiplash and Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

Car accidents — even lower-speed ones — frequently cause injuries like whiplash, neck pain, headaches, and back pain. Symptoms do not always show up right away, which is why early assessment matters. If you have been in an accident in Fredericton or Oromocto, getting checked sooner rather than later can make a real difference in how your recovery goes.

Concussion

Dr. Scott Brayall has advanced training in concussion assessment and functional neurology. If you are dealing with persistent symptoms following a concussion — brain fog, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, sensitivity to light — targeted rehabilitation strategies can support neurological recovery and help you get back to feeling like yourself.

Sciatica

Sciatica — that sharp, radiating pain down the leg — happens when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated, often from spinal joint dysfunction or muscular tension in the low back and hip. It can range from a dull ache to something that stops you in your tracks. Chiropractic care focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause so the nerve irritation can settle down.

Sports Injuries

Whether you are a competitive athlete or someone who stays active on weekends, muscle strains, joint irritation, and mobility restrictions are part of the deal. Our clinic provides care aimed at supporting recovery, improving movement, and helping you return to your sport safely — not just resting until the pain goes away.

TMJ and Jaw Pain

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction can cause jaw pain, headaches, clicking, and facial tension. It is more common than most people realize, and in some cases chiropractic treatment can help address the muscular and joint factors contributing to the problem.

Postural Issues

Postural strain is increasingly common — especially for people who sit for long periods at work or school. Dr. Scott Brayall takes a structured approach to postural correction, focusing on measurable improvements in spinal alignment over time. If you have been told you have poor posture but have never had a clear plan to address it, this may be worth looking into.
