Most people have heard of chiropractors and have some idea what they do. If you have chronic pain that typical medical intervention hasn’t helped with but you’re afraid to see a Frisco chiropractor because of what you think treatment entails, it’s time to look a little deeper into chiropractic. Many people think that chiropractic is only about “cracking” or adjusting a patient’s spine and that there is significant pain and risk involved with that procedure. In reality, chiropractors do a lot more to alleviate pain and suffering than just chiropractic adjustments.
In fact, they have a host of weapons in their arsenals to treat patients because each patient is different and one may require a specific treatment that another one may not. Chiropractic adjustments are most commonly used to relieve back pain (especially low back pain), neck pain and headaches and allow for the movement of a joint beyond its usual range of motion to allow it to return to its proper place. A Frisco chiropractor makes adjustments based on the idea that your body has a natural ability to heal itself. Adjustments are usually pain-free and carry very little risk of side effects or injury.
In addition to adjustments, chiropractors can use massage therapy, which increases blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body. It can soften and relax injured muscles and increase range of motion. It can relieve pain from migraines and from low back pain and even labor pains. Back pain can also be relieved with spinal decompression treatment, which is motorized traction that forces a gentle stretching of the spine, taking pressure away from the disks.
Many chiropractors are also trained in acupuncture. Although Chinese medicine uses acupuncture as a way to balance life forces, chiropractors and other practitioners of Western medicine use acupuncture to stimulate nerves and muscles in such a way that the body’s natural painkillers can be released to alleviate pain. Dental pain, migraines and other headaches, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, low back pain, menstrual cramps, pain from osteoporosis and nausea from chemotherapy can all be greatly relieved by acupuncture.
In addition to these treatments, a Frisco chiropractor can advise patients on nutrition and weight loss and methods of pain management for pain that isn’t related to an injury or misalignment.
