What are chiropractors?
A chiropractor is a healthcare provider who diagnoses, treats and helps prevent neuromusculoskeletal problems. Issues related to nerves, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. They focus on the spine and use hands-on techniques to improve function and reduce pain.
What do chiropractors treat?
Chiropractors treat common issues like headaches, neck and back pain, joint pain, and sciatica. They help people who have been in car accidents, suffered sports injuries, or other traumatic injuries. They also care for those who experience prolonged sitting or standing due to their jobs.
What is chiropractic adjustment?
An adjustment is a high velocity low amplitude thrust to a specific spinal segment. The purpose of the adjustment is to move a specific joint that is restricted. Spinal restrictions can cause a decrease in range of motion and an increase in pain. The adjustment helps to restore proper joint range of motion and in turn decreases pain.
Do Chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments typically don’t cause discomfort. However, some patients might feel mild soreness the following day. This slight discomfort is similar to what you might feel after a new workout, and it usually fades away within 24-48 hours. This temporary soreness is a normal part of the body’s natural healing process as it adjusts to the treatment. Overall, chiropractic care is designed to help you feel better and improve your mobility.
