Chiropractic Treatment Methods
In order to treat such a wide range of issues, chiropractors utilize various methods and techniques. These can vary to some degree between chiropractors, and the types used depend on the individual patient’s specific needs. The following are just a few commonly used methods.
- Adjustments and manipulation: These techniques are used to restore alignment to the spine and extremities. Proper alignment reduces pain, pressure on nerves and discs, tension, inflammation, and more.
- Soft tissue techniques: Sometimes, injuries occur directly to the soft tissues. Other times, soft tissue injuries are the result of misalignment. In either case, techniques like hydromassage, electrical stimulation, and therapeutic ultrasound therapy can help relieve pain and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
- Rehabilitation exercises: When an injury occurs, a comprehensive approach must be taken to achieve optimal healing. Exercises that help stretch and strengthen the damaged area speed up recovery and help prevent the injury from reoccurring.
- Custom foot orthotics: Whether you suffer from foot pain or a structural issue within your foot is causing pain elsewhere in the body, custom orthotics can be the key to relief. These devices are designed specifically for your foot, providing support and correction for any issues.
