Who are Chiropractors?
Chiropractors are licensed and skilled healthcare professionals who are trained to carry out spinal adjustments or joint manipulations and correct posture and joints position. Chiropractors treat conditions affecting our nervous system, joints dysfunction or bone alignments. Chiropractors aim to restore proper alignment and movement of joints.
What are benefits of chiropractic care?
Chiropractic adjustments offer myriad benefits for individuals experiencing musculoskeletal conditions. Some of the benefits of chiropractic adjustment and manipulations are:
While focussing on restoring the joints alignment, chiropractic treatment improves joint mobility and range of motion, allowing patients to move freely.
Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce inflammation in the body and provide relief to the patients.Improved posture: Chiropractic care can help improve posture and alignment, which can reduce the risk of future injuries and provide relief from chronic pain.
Chiropractic adjustments can help athletes improve their performance by reducing pain, improving mobility, and increasing overall body function.
Chiropractic care can help improve sleep quality because of alleviated pain and inflammation.
By promoting proper alignment and function of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, chiropractic care can help improve overall health and well-being.
During the initial visit, we take a health history and perform a physical examination, with a special emphasis on the spine. Other examinations or tests such as x-rays may also be performed. If chiropractic treatment is considered appropriate, a treatment plan will be developed.
During follow up visits, we may perform one or more of the many different types of adjustments and other manual therapies used in chiropractic care. Given mainly to the spine, a chiropractic adjustment involves using the hands or a device to apply a controlled, rapid force to a joint. The goal is to increase the range and quality of motion in the area being treated and to aid in restoring health. Joint mobilization is another type of manual therapy that may be used.
At ProHealth Oshawa Physiotherapy, we may combine the use of spinal adjustments and other manual therapies with several other treatments and approaches such as:
- Heat and ice
- Electrical stimulation
- Relaxation techniques
- Rehabilitative and general exercise
- Counselling about diet, weight loss, and other lifestyle factors
- Dietary supplements
The Safety of Chiropractic Manipulations
- Side effects from spinal manipulation can include temporary headaches, tiredness, or discomfort in the parts of the body that were treated.
- There have been rare reports of serious complications such as stroke, cauda equina syndrome (a condition involving pinched nerves in the lower part of the spinal canal), and worsening of herniated discs, although cause and effect are unclear.
- Safety remains an important focus of our care. As such, we regularly participate in continuing education programs to stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and clinical research.
