The Science of Chiropractic Care

Patients who seek out chiropractic care do so for a variety of reasons: they are seeking help with alleviating back or leg pain caused by an injury or trauma, avoiding and reducing headaches and migraines, reducing the symptoms of carpal tunnel, and a variety of other issues.

By aligning the spine and correcting issues with posture, balance, and correcting their proprioception, which affects issues within the inner ear and affects our spatial awareness, chiropractors can help reduce joint pain and soreness in the surrounding muscle and tissue.

Because chiropractic care is non-invasive, it is often seen as a preferred alternative to medication or invasive surgery. It can help many patients find solace from their joint and muscle pain.

What is Chiropractic Care?

Health care professionals who practice chiropractic care focus on the neuromusculoskeletal system of the body, and work to help patients eliminate pain, treat and prevent injuries and disorders of the muscles, bones, and nerves.

Each patient’s case is different, as our spines are all shaped differently, and our bodies react to various outside stimuli in a variety of ways, so it’s important to understand that every chiropractic treatment is designed specifically for each patient.

In recent years, many chiropractic professionals have turned to incorporating techniques including nutritional counseling, lifestyle modification, orthotics, and exercise and physical rehabilitation programs in conjunction with chiropractic spinal and joint manipulation for the best results.
