What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a healthcare profession that concentrates on the musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders and their impact on overall health. It is commonly used to address neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back discomfort, neck pain, joint pain in the arms or legs, and headaches.

​

Chiropractic physicians, also known as chiropractors, adopt a drug-free, hands-on healthcare approach that encompasses patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment. They possess extensive diagnostic abilities and are trained to suggest therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling.

​

A common therapeutic procedure performed by chiropractic physicians is “spinal manipulation,” also referred to as “chiropractic adjustment.” The aim of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – due to 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 with poor spinal posture for an extended period. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, discomfort, and diminished function. Manipulation or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues restores mobility, thereby alleviating discomfort and muscle tightness, and promoting tissue healing.

​

Chiropractic adjustments seldom cause discomfort. However, patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (similar to some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.

​

In many instances, such as lower back discomfort, chiropractic care may be the primary method of treatment. When other medical conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical treatment by addressing the musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition.
