Non-Surgical And Drugless Treatment With Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic CareChiropractic (chiros and practikos are Greek words meaning done by hand) care is a health care profession that is used to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of spine and musculoskeletal system.

Chiropractic care is based on the premise (basis) of dysfunction of spinal joint and in many different conditions of diminished health and can interfere with the nervous system.

Chiropractors use the term vertebral subluxation and concentrates mostly on the musculoskeletal components of spinal injury.

Subluxation is a medicine directly used for joints and associated nerves.

Chiropractic care will help in the following conditions such as headaches, back pain, jaw pain, neck pain, scoliosis, stress, hip pain, pinched nerves, joint pain and shoulder pain.

  • Chiropractic care reduces the cost of treating back pain.
  • Chiropractic care reduces hospitalizations among back pain patients.
  • Chiropractic care reduces back surgeries.
  • Chiropractic care reduces cost of medical imaging such as x-ray or MRI.

Chiropractic care is holistic, stressing the overall health and wellness. It recognizes many factors like diet, exercise, rest, environment and heredity that affect health. Chiropractic care recommends changes in life style such as eating habits, exercise and sleeping habits.

Chiropractors face difficulties in musculoskeletal structures. They adjust spinal column manually. For adjusting these structures, they use water, light, massage, ultra sound, electric, acupuncture and heat therapy.

They also use tapes, straps and braces. They will advice patients about nutrition, exercise and stress management tips. They will not prescribe any drugs or surgical treatments.

You should be careful that neck manipulation will cause major problems because it leads to damage of vertebral artery. If you have already diagnosed with other medical practitioner, then again you should not consult chiropractor.
