What does a Chiropractic Therapy?
Understanding what chiropractors do is pretty simple: think of aches, pains, creaks and strains.
If you’ve got a problem that involves your musculoskeletal system, a chiropractor can offer alternative methods of treatment.
Chiropractors do not prescribe medication; this allows them to think outside the box. A chiropractor may prescribe:
- Soft-tissue therapy: To relax tight muscles, relieve spasm and release tension in the fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle).
- Adjustments: To gently realign joints and increase range of motion.
- Joint bracing/taping (e.g., Kinesio taping): To support sprained joints or muscles as they heal.
- Exercises and stretches: To restore and maintain mobility and range of motion.
- Referrals to integrative medicine experts: For guidance on diet and nutrition to reduce inflammation and promote weight loss.
Chiropractic Adjustments
- A chiropractic adjustment, also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, is a common therapeutic treatment for lower back pain.
-
A chiropractic adjustment refers to a chiropractor applying manipulation to the vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally.
- The objective of this chiropractic treatment is to reduce the subluxation, with the goals of increasing range of motion, reducing nerve irritability and improving function.
- The spine is the switchboard of the nervous system. It is responsible for sending out messages from the brain to the body so when it goes awry, your body malfunctions.
- When your spine is misaligned, the whole system is out of balance.
The warning signs that you NEED a chiropractic adjustment are the following:
- Chronic pain
- Limited range of motion
- Pain after an accident
- Weakness
- Pinched nerve
- Active, athletic lifestyle
