Chiropractic Treatment FAQ

Chiropractors can work wonders on everything from bad backs to even seemingly unrelated conditions, such as headaches. However, knowing when the right time to see a chiropractor isn’t always obvious.

Chiropractic treatment isn’t always the first thing people consider after they’re injured or feeling discomfort – but it can be just the thing they need to reduce pain and start living a more comfortable life.

If you’re unsure if chiropractic treatment is right for you, here are a few FAQs that may help you make your decision.

What conditions can chiropractic treatment help?

Chiropractic treatment goes beyond just the spine. It can also be a great treatment for headaches, sciatica, whiplash, leg pain, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries.

What should I expect at my first chiropractic appointment?

If you’ve never been to a chiropractor before, you probably are unsure of what your first appointment will be like. However, your chiropractor will typically run a series of tests to help evaluate your posture, series of motion, and what may be causing your pain or discomfort.

How does my chiropractor give a diagnosis?

After running tests, your chiropractor will typically give a diagnosis. They will also recommend some lifestyle changes, exercises, or treatment options that they believe will help cure your condition.

What kind of treatment can I expect?

Chiropractors may suggest a variety of treatments. Typically, they will recommend adjustments in conjunction with exercises, stretches, or other techniques.

Adjustments are designed to help realign the spine. They may press, bend, or even stretch the spine to help get your vertebrae back in their appropriate position.

A chiropractor may also suggest hot and cold treatment. This can help reduce inflammation and promote circulation. Another common kind of treatment is TENS, or transcutaneous electric stimulation. This sends a pulse through the nerves, releasing endorphins and reducing pain.
