Different Types of Chiropractic Care

 

Just as there are different types of doctors, there are

different types of chiropractic care. You can visit a

chiropractor when you have back or neck pain, but you can

also visit a chiropractor just to stay well. Chiropractors

are concerned with the health of the whole body, not just

the spine.

 

Subluxation is a condition when the vertebrae of the spine

get misaligned, thereby causing nerve irritation. This

misalignment can be anywhere along the whole spine and not

just in the lower back. Chiropractic care is all about

setting right the subluxations. This misalignment of the

vertebrae puts pressure on nerves leading to and from the

brain. A chiropractor helps to put the misaligned

vertebrae back in their place by using highly skilled

adjustments, gently.

 

Some chiropractors are ~straight~ chiropractors. This means

they deal only with the location and removal of

subluxations. Their philosophy is that once subluxations

are remedied the body will naturally revitalize itself.

Other chiropractors are called ~mixers~ because their

practice and philosophy is that in addition to manual

adjustments and treatments, chiropractic care can be

combined, by the chiropractor, with other forms of

healthcare, such as physical therapy, exercise programs and

nutrition.

 

After an initial examination and discussion about any other

medical conditions you may have, the chiropractor will

decide on a method of treatment. There are three main kinds

of chiropractic care:

 

Relief Chiropractic Care

 

This treatment is one of the most effective ones good for

immediate cure. In this treatment the patient has immediate

relief from his pain and discomfort. The chiropractor

decides your level of damage and on the basis of it spans

out the frequency of your sittings.

 

Chiropractic Care- Corrective

 

As compared to Relief Chiropractic Care the Corrective

Chiropractic Care is more of a long term treatment in which

the results appear only after a period of time. This kind

of treatment is mainly taken for those patients who are

suffering from spinal problems that have taken place over a

long time. Very often, the patient going for long time

without medical attention.

 

Chiropractic Care - Maintenance

 

This kind of chiropractic care is needed for patients with

permanent spinal weakness and need constant check ups.

Other patients who have had relief from earlier ailments,

but see the chiropractor for regular check ups to ensure

their future health and comfort. Usually this kind of

treatment requires a visit every 2 to 6 weeks.

 

Chiropractic care means the health of the whole body.

Spinal problems are treated by the internal healing system

in the body. Chiropractic treatments are a way of ensuring

that every part of body is functioning as it should.

 

Chiropractic care is a popular and recommended form of

alternative medicine. The treatment is based on the premise

that all ailments occur because of some blockage in the

nervous system due to problems in your bones, ligaments,

tendons, joints, muscles, vertebrae etc. Chiropractors do

not use or recommend surgery or drugs, but they do refer

patients to medical practitioners when ever required.

 

Chiropractic care is safe and natural helping the body to

drawupon its own restorative capabilities to heal. It

teaches patients how to take control of their own health

and avoid chronic pain. It also can help prevent problems

before they start or get worse.
