Chiropractic Care
Dating back centuries, chiropractic medicine is a recognized tool for healing and pain relief, helping millions of people around the globe.
As a drug-free, non-surgical treatment option, chiropractic care uses specific spinal manipulation to help improve overall body motion. Expanding beyond the relief of back and neck pain, chiropractors have actually helped reduce and eliminate a variety of health issues and their symptoms through comprehensive spinal health care.
Chiropractic Medicine is a Tool for Healing and Pain Relief
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “manipulation,” also called a “chiropractic adjustment.” An adjustment can be performed on the spine or the extremities. The type(s) of adjustment techniques that are administered depend on individual patient needs.
The purpose of adjusting is to restore joint mobility and range of motion to a joint by manually applying a controlled force into a joint that has become restricted in its normal movement. Typically, adjusting involves applying a conservative and specific low-amplitude force to the area to allow for better movement.
Often used in conjunction with other services such as massage, acupuncture or physical therapy, regular chiropractic care has been recognized as a credible treatment plan for many ailments including myofascial pain syndrome, migraines, tension headaches, colic, sciatica, sports injuries and plantar fasciitis, to name just a few.
Loss of joint motion in a joint is typically a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injuries can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position for an extended period of time.
Once an injury occurs, the affected tissues may undergo physical and chemical changes that contribute to inflammation, pain, stiffness, and diminished function. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring movement to the affected joints and tissues while reducing biomechanical stress and tension.
