Guide to the Basics of Chiropractic Care
If you’re suffering from neck or back pain, you likely already know that a trip to the chiropractor can prove beneficial. Did you know, though, that you can receive so much more than neck and back pain relief? Below, Dr. Jean-Louis and the team at Advanced Chiropractic of Conyers in Conyers, GA, explain the field of chiropractic care, some of the highly effective techniques it employs, and more.
The Purpose and Goals of Chiropractic Treatment
The chiropractic field endeavors to restore the human body to optimal health and wellness by empowering the body to heal. This is accomplished by removing the various restrictions and correcting alignment and balance issues that block the natural healing processes and impact the nervous system.
Conditions, Injuries, and Symptoms a Chiropractor Can Treat
As the goal is to restore the body to health and pain-free living, chiropractors can help people heal from a wide range of issues, including but not limited to:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Headaches
- Muscle tension
- Auto injuries
- Sports injuries
- Hip and knee pain
- Numbness, tingling, and weakness in the extremities
Additionally, chiropractic techniques help restore nerve function. Your nerves are responsible for everything from your ability to move to organ function. By removing pressure from the nerves and improving nerve function, chiropractic patients enjoy better general health and relief from various health issues and symptoms.
Types of Techniques Used
Chiropractors typically employ a combination of techniques, based on the patient’s unique needs. The following are some examples.
- Adjustments to restore alignment throughout the body
- Spinal decompression to relieve pressure on the discs and nerves
- Cold laser therapy to penetrate the soft tissues, break up tension and scar tissue, and stimulate tissue repair
- Therapeutic exercise to stretch and strengthen troubled areas or correct specific issues, such as posture
- Electrical stimulation to create contractions in the muscles that increase blood flow, relieve tension, and release muscle spasms
- Trigger point therapy to break up trigger points or tender, painful knots that restrict movement and often cause pressure on the soft tissues
- Massage therapy to relieve tension, restore range of motion, and improve blood flow
Techniques such as these are intended to remove the source of your pain and empower the body to heal naturally.
