What do Chiropractors do?

Chiropractors use hands-on treatments like spinal manipulation and soft-tissue massage to help align the body's muscles, joints, ligaments and bones. A well-aligned body will then be able to better heal tissue damage, and release tension and stress in muscles which causes pain and headaches.
Chiropractic care is primarily used as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.

Join manipulation is used to restore mobility where there has been tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling or sports injury, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support.

Muscle and joint problems may then heal without surgery or medication – but it is recommended that you work with both your doctor and chiropractor to get the best results if you require medication.

What Does A Chiropractor do for Back Pain?

The first thing your chiropractor will do is take a medical history and do a physical examination to diagnose the problem and determine if chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your back pain.

They will then recommend a treatment plan which may include manual adjustments of the joints, using a controlled, sudden force to improve range and quality of motion.

Your chiropractor may also prescribe specially designed rehabilitation exercises to help restore muscle and joint function, and prevent further injuries.

What Are the Benefits and Risks of Chiropractic Care?

Spinal manipulation and chiropractic care is generally considered a safe, effective treatment for acute low back pain, and upper back pain.

This is the type of sudden injury that results from moving furniture or getting tackled. Acute back pain, which is more common than chronic pain, lasts no more than six weeks and typically gets better on its own.

Research has also shown chiropractic to be helpful in treating neck pain and headaches. In addition, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia may respond to the moderate pressure used both by chiropractors and practitioners of deep tissue massage.
