Q: What conditions do chiropractors treat?
A: Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) care for patients of all ages, with a variety of health conditions. DCs are especially well known for their expertise in caring for patients with back pain, neck pain and headaches…particularly with their highly skilled manipulations or chiropractic adjustments. They also care for patients with a wide range of injuries and disorders of the muscoloskeletal system, involving the muscles, ligaments and joints. These painful conditions often involve or impact the nervous system, which can cause referred pain and dysfunction distant to the region of injury. The benefits of chiropractic care extend to general health issues, as well, since our body structure affects our overall function. DCs also counsel patients on diet, nutrition, exercise, healthy habits, and occupational and lifestyle modification.
Q: How do I select a doctor of chiropractic?
A: One of the best ways to locate a doctor of chiropractic (DC) near you by using Find a Doctor. You can also select a DC is by getting a referral from a friend, family ember, colleague, or another health care provider.
Q: Is chiropractic treatment safe?
A: Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relief following chiropractic treatment, but some may experience mild soreness, stiffness or aching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. Current research shows that minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation typically fades away within 24 hours.
Neck pain and some types of headaches are treated through precise cervical manipulation. Cervical manipulation, often called a neck adjustment, works to improve joint mobility in the neck, restoring range of motion and reducing muscle spasm, which helps relieve pressure and tension. Neck manipulation, when performed by a skilled and well-educated professional such as a doctor of chiropractic, is a remarkably safe procedure.
Chiropractic is derived from the Greek phrase that means “done by hand”. In simple words, Chiropractic means treatment that is performed by hand. Chiropractic is a holistic health practice that provides non-invasive and non-surgical, safe and natural pain relief from subluxation, back pain, car accident injuries, chronic pain, chronic pain, herniated disc, migraine headaches, neck pain, sciatica and sports injuries.
Massage therapy is good for the nervous system and it is usually done before Chiropractic treatments are given. Physical and mental stress can make the body stiff. Massage promotes blood flow, which relieves headache and relaxes the body. It also makes Chiropractic adjustments more effective as it allows your Chiropractor to easily re-align your spine. Massage therapy is useful for treating people that are under constant physical and/or mental stress.
Spinal decompression lengthens and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressures within the discs, as well as re-aligns the spine to relieve painful symptoms associated with conditions such as herniated disc (bulging spine or slipped disc) and spinal stenosis. Read More >>
Sports injury rehabilitation helps restore joint functions, alleviate pain and re-establish mobility after sustaining sports-related injuries. Sports injuries can result in misalignment of bones and joints, which can cause inflammation or trauma to the body. This can affect the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, resulting in discomfort or pain, decrease in performance, and eventually long-term health problems if not tended to immediately.
