Description

Chiropractors primarily specialize in manual and manipulative therapies with an emphasis on spinal manipulation. The medicinal use of spinal manipulation can be traced back over 3000 years to ancient Chinese writings. Hippocrates, the “father of medicine” used manipulative techniques,[1] as did the ancient Egyptians and many other cultures. A modern re-emphasis on manipulative therapy occurred in the late 19th century in North America with the emergence of the osteopathic medicine and chiropractic medicine. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments, the theory being that proper alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Manipulation is used to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support. Chiropractors primarily use a manual and conservative approach towards neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Interventions are typically multi-modal and can include: 1. Personalized exercise program. 2. Massage/Soft tissue Therapy. 3. Hot/Cold pack, modalities to relieve pain/ swelling, improve movement and function 4. Work/occupational retraining and return to work planning. 5. Environmental changes, postural and ergonomic education. 6. Post fracture/surgery rehabilitation for all age groups. 7. Muscle Pain, Nerve Pain release Program
