What should I know about chiropractic care?
Chiropractors specialize in problems with your musculoskeletal and nervous systems, focusing on your spine and its impact on your overall health. In addition to providing structural support and flexible movement, your spine has the remarkable job of protecting millions of nerves traveling through the spinal cord.
When vertebrae are out of alignment or subluxated, they compress nerves and blood vessels. Pinched nerves cause inflammation and pain in your back or neck. But nerve problems at the spinal cord also cause pain and other symptoms in the part of your body served by the affected nerves.
As chiropractic care corrects spinal subluxations, your blood flow increases and pressure on the nerve is relieved. This allows your body to use its natural healing ability to improve your overall health.
What health conditions does chiropractic care treat?
Chiropractors specialize in many techniques that treat a wide range of health conditions. These are only a few examples of what chiropractic care treats:
- Whiplash
- Herniated or bulging disc
- Osteoarthritis
- Headaches
- Neuropathy
- Traumatic injuries
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Muscle and ligament injuries
- Degenerative disc disease
Chiropractic care effectively treats the underlying cause of most acute and chronic pain conditions.
