What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Improper spinal alignment can affect the function of the nervous system and lead to pain and other health problems.
How does chiropractic work?
The primary technique used by chiropractors is chiropractic adjustments. Adjustments are controlled maneuvers and manipulations performed on the joints, especially those of the spine. The goal of adjustments is to correct spinal misalignments and improve the functioning of the nervous system.
What are the benefits of chiropractic treatment?
Chiropractic treatment can offer multiple benefits for people with chronic back pain, including:
What to expect during a chiropractic consultation?
During your first consultation, your chiropractor will ask you questions about your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle. He or she will also perform a physical exam to evaluate your spine and range of motion. He or she may also order diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or MRIs.
Is chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic is generally safe, as long as it is performed by a qualified chiropractor. That said, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks, such as temporary pain or discomfort in the area where the adjustment was performed. It is worth discussing these risks with your chiropractor before beginning treatment.
How do you know if chiropractic is right for you?
If you are experiencing chronic back pain that has not responded to other treatments, chiropractic may be a very valid option for you. A chiropractor can evaluate your condition and determine if a chiropractic session may be beneficial for you.
