What Is Chiropractic Care?
A doctor of chiropractic (DC) is a highly trained healthcare professional with specialized knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, conditions, and injuries that affect the musculoskeletal system. These include both acute injuries and chronic conditions. Our chiropractors use advanced modalities to help our patients heal, such as cold laser therapy, whole-body vibration, and spinal disc decompression.
A chiropractor can treat patients of all ages who may have a diverse spectrum of medical issues. Although chiropractic care is perhaps best known for its effectiveness in treating back pain, chiropractors can actually treat many different problems, ranging from migraines to sports injuries. In addition, these healthcare professionals are trained to provide lifestyle, ergonomic, and dietary counseling to help patients attain better overall health.
What Are the Benefits of Chiropractic Care?
The benefits of chiropractic care are numerous. First and foremost, chiropractic services are highly effective at resolving pain and related medical complaints. It’s not uncommon for patients to experience immediate pain relief upon receiving a spinal adjustment. Depending on your particular health issues, multiple appointments may be needed to fully treat your condition, and you can look forward to feeling progressively better after each visit.
Other benefits of chiropractic care include the following:
- Holistic – Although it’s commonly believed that chiropractors primarily treat back pain, they actually take a holistic approach to healthcare. A chiropractor will consider the entirety of your health—not just your symptoms.
- Addresses Underlying Causes – Chiropractic care doesn’t just mask symptoms. Instead, chiropractors work to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms, and by addressing those root causes, they can effectively resolve the symptoms.
- Customized – Chiropractors never take a “one size fits all” approach. Each treatment plan at EIH is fully customized to suit the patient’s needs, preferences, and health history.
- Noninvasive – Chiropractic care can often allow patients to avoid invasive procedures such as surgery and injections. For patients who have undergone surgery, a chiropractor can design a custom rehabilitation plan to support post-surgical healing.
- Drug-Free – Medications can cause undesirable side effects, particularly when used for long periods of time. Chiropractic care is drug-free.
- Versatile – Chiropractic services are capable of treating a wide range of health complaints that stem from musculoskeletal/nervous system dysfunctions.
- Safe – Chiropractic services have a long track record of safety. It’s even safe to receive care during pregnancy, as these professionals are specially trained to provide care to expecting moms.
