Chiropratic Medicine
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession whose purpose is to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving health.
While Doctors of Chiropractic are best known for their manual adjustment techniques, the chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, stressing the patient’s overall health and wellness. Chiropractors recognize that many factors affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, environment, and heredity. They provide natural, drugless, non-surgical treatments and rely on the body’s inherent recuperative abilities.
Common conditions treated by Chiropractic:
· Low back pain and stiffness
· Neck pain and stiffness
· Sciatica / lower limb pain
· Shoulder / upper limb pain
· Carpel tunnel syndrome
· Headache (migraine, tension. cluster)
· Sport or work related injuries
· Fibromyalgia chiropractic care
· Stress related conditions
Chiropractors encourage their patients to be active in their own care and may recommend changes in lifestyle. For example, they may suggest changes in a patient’s eating, exercise, and sleeping habits in order to optimize their health. When appropriate, chiropractors consult with and refer patients to other health practitioners.
