Reasons to Seek Out Chiropractic Services
Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that is primarily focused on disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional drugs or surgical procedures when treating spinal conditions. People usually seek out Chiropractic services to alleviate pain from:
- Neck and back conditions.
- Severe headaches.
- Discomfort from pregnancy.
- Whiplash and other auto accident injuries.
- Repetitive strain injuries.
- Work or sports injuries.
- Limited range of motion in the neck, back, shoulders or limbs.
Types of Chiropractic Treatments
The two most common Chiropractic treatments are manipulation treatment and soft tissue treatment.
- Manipulation treatment – Centers on the manipulation of a spinal joint that has become restricted in movement. It helps improve both range and efficiency of motion on the treated area, which reduces pain and muscle tightness and allows the tissue of the affected area to heal.
- Soft tissue treatment – It is focused on disorders involving the muscles and tendons and is usually administered in the form of massage or stretching.
Chiropractors will often combine these treatments with others such as, heat or ice treatment, exercise designed for rehabilitation, dietary supplementation and electrical stimulation.
