Chiropractic adjustments can provide pain relief and help prevent pain from recurring. Chiropractic care seeks to balance the systems in the body to enable the correction of structure and enhance the bodies function.
Traumatic Injury
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve symptoms caused by various traumatic events such as car accidents and falls. Chiropractors utilise an array of adjustments and in many cases, improves general comfort and reduces inflammation caused by traumatic events. Through the use of techniques such as electric muscle stimulation and precise adjustment, most patients can experience substantial relief in less than a month. Headaches associated with traumatic injury are also dramatically reduced.
Preventative Adjustments
If a patient does not have a specific complaint, the chiropractor will perform physical exam and ask questions regarding the diet, exercise routine and daily activities of the patient. All of these variables play a role in the structural health of the human body. During preventative adjustments, the chiropractor will work on any potential problems and adjust the spine and extremities if necessary. Patients can usually feel an immediate release of tension and improvement in motion.
Relieving Chronic Pain
Although chiropractic adjustments cannot always completely solve chronic pain, it can usually provide a significant reduction of symptoms through regular care. In some cases, a combination of medical and chiropractic adjustments may be used to further improve chronic pain.
