What exactly do chiropractors do?
Here at Midwest Physical Therapy, in Bloomer, WI, we embrace the knowledge that chiropractic care isn’t just about making the pain disappear; we believe in identifying the underlying causes influencing your overall health and well-being.
Chiropractic care is about understanding and learning the cause of pain to improve your overall quality of life. We work diligently to ensure that our services are of the best quality. We focus on educating our patients about the chiropractic care that they are about to receive.
Chiropractors professionally approach patient care, starting with a detailed health history, a comprehensive physical examination, and ordering any test necessary to develop a working diagnosis. Next, we create a treatment focusing on alleviating pain, restoring function, and preventing future problems from arising.
The manual treatment methods used by chiropractors range from stretching and sustained pressure to specific joint manipulations. Practitioners use their hands or devices to apply a quick and controlled thrust. The manipulations aim to improve joint motion, alleviate pain, and restore function. Manipulations are most commonly done on the spine, but other parts of the body may also be treated in this way.
We believe in providing natural solutions with every diagnosis so that you can restore and maintain your level of health. In addition to pain relief and improvements in joint mobility and function, chiropractic care may also help improve your overall health with the following benefits:
- Increase energy
- Decreases inflammation
- Immune booster
- Assist in a healthier pregnancy
- Lower blood pressure
Chiropractic care has been shown to help improve lower back and neck pain, especially for acute pain episodes. In addition, research has shown chiropractic care help improve the following:
Headaches: Spinal manipulation may effectively treat tension headaches, migraines, and headaches that originate in your neck.
Reduces reliance on opioid pain relievers: Too often, people suffering from chronic pain are given opioids rather than identifying the root cause of their pain. Chronic pain sufferers who attended chiropractic care had less pain and used fewer medications for relief.
Scoliosis: Chiropractic care may help improve the Cobb angle (i.e., side-to-side deformity) in children with scoliosis.
Posture: Research has shown that chiropractic treatments may help correct poor posture, primarily when related to too much sitting. Poor postural habits may contribute to hyper-kyphosis (aka hunchback posture), which can often be improved with manipulation therapy and exercises.
Athletic performance: Spinal adjustments may improve your athletic performance by improving joint mobility, reducing pain, and increasing strength.
Chiropractic treatment is often a cheaper alternative to conventional medical treatments for spinal disorders, and studies have reported high levels of satisfaction with chiropractic treatment.
