Chiropractic Therapy

Chiropractic is mainly used as a replacement for the relief of pain for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissues, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Most of the time, it can be used in combination with conventional medical treatment.

An integrative therapy by nature, chiropractic care focuses on the spine and is all about aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure, which can go out of whack in injury, illness or dysfunction. The aim is to diagnose and identify joints that are misaligned as without that we are vulnerable to long term problems and injury. We can also take longer to recover. With proper alignment the body has a much better chance of healing without surgery or medication. It can also produce a strong calming effect and make mental focus easier.

A chiropractor will assess the mechanical function of the joints in the extremities and the state of your spine. If the bones are not moving properly or are not in their normal position, irritation or nerve pain can often result. This is what a chiropractor can detect. Treatments involve adjustment or manipulation techniques to restore function

HOW IT WORKS

During chiropractic care, a chiropractor first studies the medical history, performs a physical examination, and can use lab tests or diagnostic imaging in order to figure out if the treatment is the best for you.

The treatment plan used during chiropractic care may involve one or more manual adjustments in which the physician manipulates the joints, by making use of a controlled, sudden force in other to improve range and quality of motion. Many chiropractors also include nutritional advice and exercise/rehabilitation into the treatment plan. The purpose of chiropractic care is to restore function and prevent injury, as well as relieve back pain.
