The bones in your back, called the vertebrae, work together in a very specific way. When everything is working well, your spine is strong, flexible and aligned. The stress of daily living, poor posture, sports injuries or accidents can cause the bones in the spine to shift out of alignment, which may cause pain or alter your range of motion.
Chiropractors understand how to relieve this pain, discomfort, and reduced mobility wherever it may be in your body. Although Chiropractors are often thought of as “back doctors”, they are trained to assess and treat any joint or muscle complaint in the body. They also educate their patients on ways to improve posture, strengthen core stability, and prevent future re-injuries.
Classic chiropractic treatments involve the mobilization and manipulation of joints in the spine and extremities. Practitioners apply a specific amount of force with the hand, in a precise direction, to free a restricted and painful joint. Research indicates conservative chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
