Chiropractic treatment focuses on the idea that many types of physical disorders can be caused by problems with the musculoskeletal system, the bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments that hold it all together and make it function. They especially concentrate on the spine. Your spine supports the weight of your whole body and contains the nerves that serve your entire body. When things are wrong with the spine, the effects can often be felt in other areas of your body. Your chiropractor is trained in manipulating the spine, correcting the alignment of the vertebrae so that it carries that load in the way it’s supposed to, relieving the potential cause of the pain. It can be a relaxing and soothing process that often provides rapid relief. They may also recommend exercises to strengthen the muscles along with changes in diet, posture, and work habits. Chiropractic treatment focuses on improving the health of the whole body. Most patients we see report significant discomfort alleviation within a few hours of their first session. However, longer-lasting relief will normally require you to communicate openly and follow your chiropractor’s recommendations for exercises and lifestyle changes for some time.
