Core One Physical Therapy offers personalized chiropractic care to improve physical function and relieve pain. Chiropractic care is a healthcare discipline that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine. Chiropractors use a hands-on approach to manipulate and adjust the spine and other joints in the body to improve function, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being.
Many people may not be aware of chiropractic care as a form of treatment. However, research has shown that chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive, and effective way to address a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, from neck and back pain to headaches and joint problems.
If you are interested in exploring chiropractic care, here is what you need to know:
What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is based on the understanding that proper alignment of the spine and other joints in the body is essential for good health. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to assess and adjust the musculoskeletal system, including spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, and exercise therapy.
Spinal Manipulation
Spinal manipulation, also known as spinal adjustment, involves the use of controlled force to manipulate the joints of the spine, helping to restore proper alignment and function. The goal of spinal manipulation is to reduce pain and inflammation, improve range of motion, and enhance overall function.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapy involves the use of massage, stretching, and other techniques to address issues with the muscles and other soft tissues in the body. Soft tissue therapy can help reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility, and enhance circulation, all of which can contribute to improved musculoskeletal health.
Exercise Therapy
Exercise therapy involves the use of specific exercises to help improve strength, flexibility, and function. Chiropractors may prescribe exercises to help clients address specific issues, such as low back pain, neck pain, or joint problems.
Mobilization
This technique involves gentler, more controlled movements to manipulate the joints and improve function. It is often used for people who are unable to tolerate more forceful techniques.
Instrument-assisted therapy
This technique involves the use of specialized tools to apply force or pressure to specific areas of the body. It can be helpful for people who are unable to tolerate manual manipulation or who have specific areas of pain or tension.
Lifestyle counseling
Chiropractors may also provide advice on lifestyle changes that can help improve overall health and well-being, such as diet and exercise recommendations.
Risks
Like any medical treatment, chiropractic care does carry some risks. However, the risks associated with chiropractic care are generally minimal and rare. Some potential risks include:
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Discomfort or soreness in the treated area
- Risk of stroke (extremely rare)
Before beginning chiropractic care, it is important to discuss any potential risks with your healthcare provider.
