Doctors of Chiropractic / Chiropractors practice are well trained to do patient examination, diagnosis, treatment, therapeutic exercises and nutritional and lifestyle consulting. They use a broad spectrum of methods to help determine if chiropractic is the right treatment for you. Some of these methods include; clinical examination, laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging. If further advanced testing is required, the chiropractor will refer you to the appropriate specialist
Manual Spinal Manipulation:
It is the main treatment provided by chiropractors. It is also called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint motions by manually applying a controlled force into joints that are restricted. Such restriction in movement can be due to trauma, repetitive stress, and abnormal posture. Adjustments can help decrease pain, improve range of motion and improve joint and muscle proprioception. These in turn will help heal the tissue and prevent abnormal adhesions.
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes any discomfort. A patient may report mild soreness or aching following treatment (like doing exercise for the first time). This usually will go away spontaneously in few hours.
Other Forms of Manipulation:
