FAQs on Chiropractic Services:

Why Would I Need to See a Chiropractor For Care?

Chiropractors specialize in addressing aches and pains caused by musculoskeletal issues. Specifically, they strive to diagnose and correct biomechanical disturbances (specifically subluxation - a structural or functional impairment of a vertebra) and nervous system blockages.

These impairments and/or blockages often create irritating symptoms such as inflammation, tension, pain, numbness, muscle spasms, and joint mobility restrictions. Impairments and/or blockages may have an impact on the body as a whole. For example, the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system in your body. If there is a misalignment (subluxation) in the spine, it could interfere with the function of the nervous system. Therefore, correction of the misalignment (subluxation) allows nerves and their signals to flow freely from the brain to the rest of the body.

What is the Methodology Behind Chiropractic Care?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Specifically: when a vertebra becomes misaligned (subluxated) due to external or internal pressure, a chiropractor can restore the alignment by applying an opposite pressure in the appropriate manner.

How Does a Chiropractor Treat Patients?

Through manual adjustments/manipulations of a person’s spine and joints, chiropractors can influence the body’s nervous system and natural defense mechanisms in order to alleviate pain, relieve pressure on the nerves, improve general health, and even promote the body’s natural healing capabilities. Because of its effectiveness in treating back/neck problems, headaches, extremity dysfunction, and other injuries and traumas, chiropractic treatment is highly sought after.

What are the Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor?

Without addressing an underlying cause, pain caused by musculoskeletal problems will not typically decrease on its own. But chiropractic care can help address alignment problems and/or muscle injuries, rather than leaving patients to cope with their pain via medication. Chiropractic care may also help patients avoid unnecessary surgery, depending on the nature of their pain and/or injury.
