Chiropractic Care Q&A
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is a licensed form of health care practice that focuses on using manual (hands-on) therapy to boost the body’s innate healing abilities. It’s a time-honored approach that provides a natural path to healing.
A central focus within chiropractic care is the alignment of your spine. Many people go through their days and nights with significant spinal misalignment but have no idea that this might be the source of their pain, joint issues, and overall poor quality of life.
Chiropractic care can correct common misalignment issues. It also offers advantages in the area of general wellness. That’s why so many pro athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and everyday folks make chiropractic care part of their ongoing wellness routines.
What are the benefits of chiropractic care?
Creating and supporting optimal spinal alignment is a primary benefit of chiropractic care. However, the team at Alderwood Back & Neck Pain Clinic can also help with issues that stem from other joints.
When you’re in pain, you likely find yourself limiting your daily activities in an effort to avoid flare-ups or make matters worse. In reality, however, being sedentary usually only exacerbates the problems, and can even lead to new health and wellness issues.
Chiropractic care allows you to restore normal mobility and boost your energy levels, without causing new joint issues or worsening existing pain or swelling.
What kinds of treatments are available within chiropractic care?
Alderwood Back & Neck Pain Clinic offers a wide range of chiropractic treatments. The process begins with a thorough intake assessment to learn more about how well your body is currently functioning, as well as what you hope to achieve from treatment.
X-ray imaging might be part of the process, and a physical exam is also a good starting point. Be prepared to share the details of your personal and family health history, as well as information about when you began experiencing pain and how that pain manifests on a daily basis.
Spinal manipulation is one of the most common types of chiropractic care. This hands-on treatment uses carefully controlled pressure to manipulate the joints within your spine, correcting misalignment and restoring optimal spinal function.
Additional treatments available from Alderwood Back & Neck Pain Clinic include:
- Cryotherapy
- Corrective exercises
- Rehabilitative exercises
- Massage therapy
- Hydrotherapy massage beds
