You may have many questions about Chiropractic and about Chiropractors. We have answered some of the most common questions here.
What is Chiropractic and how does it work?
Chiropractic is a natural, gentle, drug-free healing art that recognizes the body’s self-healing abilities.
Chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the spine, joints and muscles. The term Chiropractic is derived from the classical Greek words ‘chiero’ – hand and ‘praktos’ – to use and means treatment by hand or manipulation.
What do Chiropractors do?
Chiropractors specialize in the detection, correction and prevention of muscle and joint problems, relieving pain and improving health.
Improper motion of spinal bones can cause nerve irritation from stretching, rubbing and pinching of the nerve’s tissue. This is why Chiropractors work primarily with the spine, to remove interference that may be causing pain and or impairing normal function.
Visiting a Chiropractor
On a patient’s first visit, the Chiropractor will take a thorough case history and carry out a full neurological and orthopaedic examination.
Once these examinations are complete, the Chiropractor carries out a detailed analysis of how the individual bones, joints and muscles move, to identify the specific problem.
Treatment consists of gently unlocking the stiff joints with skilled manipulation by hand, known as adjustments as well as exercise and work on muscles.
There are many Chiropractic adjustment techniques. Quick, comfortable adjustments are used with just the right amount of pressure to restore proper function and mobility to joints.
