Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that is best known for helping the patient’s back and neck pain. Manual therapies are used to help manage back and neck pain and prevent injuries. These therapies and techniques may include spinal manipulation to maintain good alignment, stretching, mobilisation and massage, to correct problems and relieve pain.
Rather than prescribing drugs, chiropractors focus on the body’s ability to heal itself and believe that correct spinal adjustment and realignment improves the overall function of the body.
Chiropractors may also offer support and advice to their patients on matters such as diet, exercise, and lifestyle. A chiropractor will encourage you to take an active part in your rehabilitation, rather than relying on over-the-counter medicines.
As such, chiropractic care goes hand in hand with functional medicine, by providing a thorough understanding of the root causes of illness and helping you achieve whole-body health.
The principal reason why many people first visit a chiropractor is to obtain relief from pain. Reducing your pain is the first and most obvious chiropractic benefit.
However, chiropractors provide more than basic pain treatment. Chiropractic also improves joint mobility and function, which benefits overall health.
Chiropractic care can also reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches. Extra stress on the nervous system may prevent your body from functioning normally, causing headaches.Tension headaches often include neck, muscular and facial pain. Adjustments performed by your chiropractor will not only help with the current headaches you are experiencing, but will also reduce the risk of future headaches occurring, by preventing further stress and tension building up.
