Have you ever been to your medical doctor complaining of pain, and he spends just a few minutes with you asking about your symptoms and then sends you home with a prescription?
We’ve all experienced that, but the experience in a chiropractor’s office is very different.
Chiropractors specialize in uncovering and then treating the source of your pain, whether it’s low back pain, stiff neck or general neck pain, headaches, sciatica and sports injuries. Statistics show that 97% of back discomfort is caused by a mechanical problem in your spine. Therefore, chiropractic doctors, focus on treating the causes of these mechanical problems through chiropractic adjustments.
Watch this video to learn about what happens during chiropractic treatment and to see an example of a chiropractic adjustment.
Chiropractor Services Performed by Your Spine Doctor include:
-
A Consultation – to determine your history
-
A Physical and Neurological Exam, measuring your reflexes and mobility
-
X-rays – taken to determine bone health and to look for postural changes that might be contributing to the symptoms you’re experiencing
-
Report of Findings – where the doctor explains what may have happened to cause your discomfort and develops a chiropractic treatment plan to alleviate your pain and restore normal motion. This treatment will most-likely include a chiropractic adjustment.
Chiropractic adjustments consists of light impulses on the joints, freeing them up and allowing them to move more normally. This movement does not hurt. It simply restores motion – similar to the movement in your joints when you crack your knuckles.
