Chiropractors practice a drug-free, manual approach to health care that includes patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. In particular, chiropractors assess patients for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, extremities, and their effect on the nervous system. The chiropractors at Back 2 Health Rehabilitation Centre implement the Diversified Chiropractic Technique. They provide comprehensive care and use a combination of chiropractic adjustments, modalities, myofascial release therapy, acupuncture and/or exercise prescription to help you achieve optimal health.
Chiropractors treat problems related to the musculoskeletal system. You do not always have to be in pain to consult a chiropractor. You may be interested in prevention, wanting to learn more about your body, or improving your quality of life. These are all good reasons to consider consulting a chiropractor.
Chiropractors are highly skilled in the hands-on art of spinal adjustment. An adjustment involves applying a specific force in a precise direction to a joint that is causing pain. The purpose of the adjustment is to help restore motion or mobility, often relieving pain.
Treatment may include manipulation of joints, with the goal of decreasing discomfort by improving movement and function within that joint. When a joint is adjusted, there is a natural change in the internal pressure of that joint. This change results in the release of gas normally dissolved in the fluid, which lubricates the joint. The release of this gas may produce a "popping" sound similar to that produced when you open a can of soda.
Research continues to support the safety and efficacy of chiropractic treatment. Chiropractors are holistic practitioners, which means that we do not prescribe medication or perform surgery. As each patient is unique, each treatment and each adjustment is unique as well. Everyone is different, and we make sure that your treatment plan is structured specifically to suit your needs to get you Back 2 Health!
