What is Chiropractic
Care?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on
disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous
system, and the effects of these disorders on general
health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat
neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited
to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or
legs, and headaches.
Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors
or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on
approach to health care that includes patient examination,
diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic
skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and
rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional,
dietary and lifestyle counseling.
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors
of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation,” also
called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of
manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually
applying a controlled force into joints that have become
hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result
of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single
traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object,
or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an
awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended
period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo
physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation,
pain, and diminished function for the sufferer.
Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and
tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and
muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. However,
patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching
following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that
usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.
In many cases, such as lower back pain, chiropractic care
may be the primary method of treatment. When other medical
conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or
support medical treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal
aspects associated with the condition.
Doctors of chiropractic may assess patients through clinical
examination, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging and
other diagnostic interventions to determine when
chiropractic treatment is appropriate or when it is not
appropriate. Chiropractors will readily refer patients to
the appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care
is not suitable for the patient’s condition, or the
condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other
members of the health care team. (As it reads from the
American Chiropractic Association) |
