What is a chiropractor?
A chiropractor is someone who provides their patients chiropractic services. These alternatives health services focus on disorders that have to do with the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. Some of the more common chiropractic services a chiropractor will provide for their patients include treating any back pain, neck pain, joint pain and headaches. Instead of using treatment options that address health issues by treating the problem at hand, a chiropractor is a health professional who focuses on understanding why the patient has the health issue in the first place.
What is spinal adjustment and manipulation?
Chiropractors are health professionals who do not prescribe drugs for their patients as they believe that a hands on holistic approach is the ideal way to treat their patients. A manipulation of the spine is one of the most common procedures a chiropractor will perform. This holistic procedure is done with a goal of restoring any and all mobility to the joints that can be impaired due to a variety of health issues. When a chiropractor manipulates the spine, what they are doing is putting the spine back into its natural alignment. A properly aligned spine allows for a full range of motion and flexibility, which allows the body to function with a lower risk of injury, pain or illness.
Additional chiropractic services
Additional chiropractic services include providing patients with a nutritional eating plan, a personalized exercise plan for good health and overall lifestyle counseling. If necessary, a chiropractor will provide the proper recommendations for their patients if they are in need of additional health-related services, like therapeutic and rehabilitative services.
