When might you need a chiropractor?

You might need to see a chiropractor if you’ve experienced:

– Chronic pain in muscles or joints

– Sharp and shooting pains

– Frequent headaches or migraines

– Strains, bad posture or misaligned spine.

But what is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on the spine, the joints and the musculoskeletal aspects of the body and their connection with the nervous system. Chiropractic is focused on restoring, preserving, and optimizing health through natural hands-on methods or the use of hand-held instruments.

In fact, the treatments will help you achieve a state of optimal health by working with your spine and using a gentle, non-invasive approach that doesn’t involve drugs or surgery.

How will a chiropractor treat my condition or problem?

Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to reduce pain and improve mobility and function. The one system that most people associate with chiropractic is hand-delivered manipulation of the spine. Some chiropractors call this an ‘adjustment’.

Also, a chiropractor will help you identify the cause of your problem, not just treat your symptoms of pain. You’ll be fully informed of what’s happening in your body and how we’re able to help you, so you won’t experience repeat problems.

They may also use other techniques and/or modalities like heat, ice, massage, specific exercises, ultrasound and acupuncture. They may also give lifestyle, ergonomic and dietary advice.
