What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractors use practical manipulation of the spinal cord and other alternative treatments. The idea is that, proper alignment of the body’s bone structure, particularly the spine, will allow the body to heal itself eliminating the need for surgery or medication. Careful manipulation is used to restore once lost mobility to bones and joints that have been restricted by tissue damage as a result of an accident or even just moving in a particular way.
Patients that have suffered a fall, or repetitive stress, which is usually work related, such as sitting without proper back support have benefited immensely from visiting a chiropractor to undergo Chiropractic Care.

What is involved in chiropractic back care?
Your chiropractor should first of all enquire about your medical history to get an idea of what troubles you may have had in the past. Then they should carry out a physical examination, depending on your symptoms and level of pain they may need to use diagnostic equipment to see if chiropractic care is suitable for the pain that you are suffering from.
Treatment plans can include a variety of physical adjustments whereby the chiropractor manipulated the areas of discomfort, be it the bones or the joints, using a very technical and controlled form of force to improve mobility and ease of use. The best chiropractors often include dieting and exercise advice as part of the ‘get well’ program. Overall, the main aim of this type of care is to provide restored use of parts of the body whilst ensuring no further injury takes place as well as the initially sought-after pain relief.
