What is a Chiropractor?
Accidents are unfortunately part of our everyday life, they definitely are not planned nor wanted. Yet the aftermath has to be dealt with. These accidents can happen at work, in traffic, or even at home as an ordinary slip and fall accident.
The majority of the injuries caused in those situations can successfully be treated by chiropractors. Chiropractors focus on nervous and musculoskeletal pain and their main task is to help patients regain mobility and live pain-free.
The most common conditions which a chiropractic adjustment could improve are neck pain, headache and low back pain.
Chiropractors must first diagnose a patient through a pair of neurological, orthopedic and physical tests based on the patient’s symptoms, posture, and mobility.
A treatment plan is then drawn up which includes a number of therapies to be performed, in order to heal injuries and allow the patient full recovery.
The plan implies certain medical restrictions and obligations over a certain period of time after which results, i.e. an improvement in the condition, can be expected.
It is very important to mention that a patient has to collaborate in order to make sure the therapy is successful. Therapies are diagnosed individually and sometimes include additional exercises or resting at home.
What Conditions Does a Chiropractor Treat?
The frequency and the length of treatment depend on various factors. Long-term conditions are characteristic for severe injuries or conditions which appear in a combination with some other health issue.
Except for spinal manipulation, chiropractors can also help with:
