Chiropractic care is a study of medicine that diagnoses and treats misalignments that occur in the joints of your body. However, these misaligned joints can often lead to other issues in your body that can cause you discomfort or pain. Chiropractic care typically utilizes spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). This consists of various techniques that are typically done manually with the chiropractors hands. The basis of chiropractic care revolves around the ideology that a well-aligned body and spine, will allow the rest of the body to heal itself without the use of surgery or medications.
Chiropractic care can help those who suffer with;
- Neck Pain
If you experience a stiff neck or general neck pain, a chiropractor may be able to help you. Examining the joints in the neck to determine which ones are locked or tense will allow the chiropractor to conduct the correct neck adjustment technique to ease the pressure.
- Back Pain
Lower back pain, as a part of the musculoskeletal system, is typically the core focus of chiropractic care. Several chiropractic adjustment techniques can help reduce the pain you may be experiencing. This treatment has been proven to be very effective as many patients feel a drastic difference in their pain and mobility after chiropractic treatments. This can also be useful for problems such as a lumbar herniated disc.
- Pregnancy
Experiencing the symptoms of pregnancy can often be uncomfortable and uneasy. However, chiropractic care can ease some of those symptoms such as controlling nausea, reducing labor times or even relieving the pain in your back. This is important as your body is changing and adds pressure on your spine to carry the weight of a baby. A chiropractor near you can help ease the symptoms of pregnancy.
- Headaches
Studies have shown that chiropractic care can help decrease the occurrence and severity of tension headaches. It is also known that headaches often develop due to poor posture, which places pressure on the spine. Thus, easing that pressure can ultimately reduce tension headaches.
- Sciatica:
Sciatica is caused by the compression of nerves. Thus, the manipulation of the muscles allows the spine to realign itself, which can ease the tension or pressure that is compressing the sciatic nerve. This can help reduce numbness, inflammation, leg spasms and pain.
