What is Advanced Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic is a branch of healthcare that deals with the body’s ability to heal itself through the alignment of the spine or other parts of the body. The word “chiropractic”’ comes from the Greek terms cheir (meaning ‘hand’) and praktos (meaning ‘done’), i.e., “done by hand.” Manual healing methods date to ancient times; however, not until the late 19th century did it begin to take shape in the United States.

Chiropractic is regulated and has been for over 100 years. Licensed practitioners, i.e., doctors of chiropractic (DCs) must meet standards set forth by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, which takes about 4 or 5 years. Dcs are most commonly called chiropractors.

What Do Chiropractors Do?

Chiropractors examine the patient by looking at the position of their spine and by analyzing their muscle reflexes. After diagnosing the patient’s condition, they design a treatment plan and subsequently monitor progress.

Something very important to take into consideration is that chiropractors do not prescribe medication. On the contrary, health organizations like the American College of Physicians (ACP) recommend seeking chiropractic care to deal with musculoskeletal issues instead of taking medication in an attempt to mitigate opioid overuse.

Chiropractors are specialists at spinal manipulation. They use their hands to apply force to move the joints in a specific direction for better alignment. In addition, they harness technology to help achieve the necessary alignment; for example heat therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). These last methods are also used by physical therapists.

Physical Therapy and Advanced Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors and physical therapists approach healthcare with nonsurgical and drug-free treatments. Oftentimes, the aim is for patients to avoid surgery or other invasive interventions. At the same time, they both work with patients who are recovering from interventions.

Interestingly, chiropractor or physical therapy visits not only involve recovery, but many times people turn to them for education and prevention. This is the result of these professionals being able to recommend exercises that improve mobility, strength and range of motion —all in all, they can educate on how to build up the immune system.

Chiropractors, as well as physical therapists, are sought by athletes for injury prevention purposes. At Clinic 59 & Clinic 290, our licensed chiropractors can assist you on your path to recovery or can educate you on the prevention or injuries.
