In the center of your body is your spinal column, made of many small interlocking bones that protect your spine. In this same region are nerves that travel from your spine around your entire body, all the way to the ends of your fingers and toes.
Chiropractors are experienced in non-invasive techniques that realign the spine when it becomes misaligned. This can resolve a wide variety of health problems, like chronic back pain, headaches, and pains in the arms and legs. A chiropractic treatment plan can provide immediate relief, as well as a long term solution to prevent recurring problems.
While you may know that chiropractors help with back pain, you may be unfamiliar with the many ways a chiropractor can help you achieve optimal health.
Evaluation
After taking your health history into account, your chiropractor will perform a physical examination. Your chiropractor may feel your spine, joints, and examine your range of motion.
Assessment
A chiropractic exam will be thorough and may include X-rays, orthopedic tests, and neurological tests.
Spinal Exam
To determine what parts of your spine would require chiropractic treatment, your chiropractor will likely use a palpation technique to find what areas of your spine's mobility are restricted.
X-Rays
Many healthcare providers employ the use of x-rays for diagnostic purposes, including chiropractors. They are useful in helping identify the source of a problem, its potential severity, and potentially guiding the course of treatment.
The History of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care actually got its start in a story that tells of just how much of an impact spinal health can have on a person’s life. Daniel David Palmer performed the first chiropractic adjustment in history in 1895. His patient was a janitor with a hearing problem. After the non-invasive spinal adjustment, the janitor, named Harvey Lillard, found that his hearing had improved.
This makes sense when you consider how many nerves and small bones are in the neck. When a bone comes out of alignment, irritating or compressing a nerve, a whole host of symptoms can occur.
Since this first event, chiropractic care has come a long way. Today, chiropractors help patients find real solutions for migraines, vertigo, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, muscle strains, injuries from work or accidents, and a wide assortment of physical ailments.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?
Chiropractors see patients with a slight twinge in their neck and others who have lost their full range of mobility. Wherever you are in your health journey, they will evaluate your situation and create a personalized plan that works for you.
Once a chiropractor is able to uncover a diagnosis they will develop a treatment plan. Using non-invasive techniques, a chiropractor will adjust the spine to immediately alleviate symptoms, as part of a long term recovery plan. These adjustments involve gentle chiropractic techniques that are safe and natural.
