What Can a Chiropractor Treat?

February 28, 2020

There are a lot of misunderstandings when it comes to chiropractic care. The World Federation of Chiropractic defines the practice as “a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments, including spinal adjustments and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.“

Chiropractic medicine is practiced by licensed health professionals and is based on the belief that the body can heal itself. It is primarily a treatment for pain relief and preventive measures to avoid further injuries from occurring. The type of practices chiropractors are allowed to provide in the United States vary according to where the practice is located.

Chiropractors examine and diagnose patients and then devise a plan for treating symptoms. In addition to therapeutic exercises and adjustments that are rehabilitative in nature, a chiropractor may also make dietary and nutritional suggestions to improve wellbeing.

What to Expect During Your First Chiropractic Appointment?

You will submit a health history summary and go through a physical exam in your first visit to a chiropractor. The chiropractor will consult with you regarding your symptoms and health conditions. Based on this information, the doctor may also decide to order internal images of your body to give an accurate diagnosis. The diagnostic images will confirm whether or not your condition or injury can be treated properly with chiropractic treatments.

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, the chiropractor will devise a treatment plan specifically to address your health issues. Treatments could include manual adjustments, which involve the manipulation of affected joints. The purpose is to improve your range of motion through calculated and forceful adjustments to your musculoskeletal components. Part of your treatment plan will include counseling about nutrition and exercise, which are critical to restoring functionality and improving your wellbeing.

The following are just a few issues chiropractors treat.

Back Pain

Back pain may be the first issue that jumps to mind when considering what chiropractors treat. However, it is but one of many physical conditions treated by a chiropractor. A chiropractor is equipped to address a variety of different back pain causes, including sciatica and lower back pain caused by injuries.

Migraines

Chiropractors treat migraines, tension headaches, and headaches that begin it he neck and radiate upward using spinal manipulation.

Pediatric Adjustments

Children can also receive chiropractic adjustments. In fact, they represent a large demographic who visit chiropractors each year. Treatments can help ease symptoms of asthma and allergies. Adjustments can also help improve posture and relieve aches and pains.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that creates pain within the musculoskeletal system. In addition to the widespread pain that accompanies fibromyalgia, fatigue and issues with sleep, memory, and mood can also develop. Chiropractors use ischemic compression to target soft tissue for deep tissue massage, which alleviates fibromyalgia symptoms.
