What conditions do Chiropractors treat?
Patients of all ages and with many types of conditions come to see Chiropractors. Doctors of Chiropractic (DC’s) often are well known for helping patients with neck pain, back pain, headaches, and numbness and tingling. They do this by delivering a chiropractic adjustment to remove a subluxation in the spine. A subluxation of the spine is when one vertebra is not moving correctly according to the one above or below it. Subluxations place tension on nerves causing a slower impulse traveling to and from the brain and tissues. DC’s also see patients with injuries of the musculoskeletal system, involving muscles, ligaments, and joints such as knees and shoulders. Since the nervous system controls every function of the body the benefits of chiropractic care extend to other general health issues in the body. DC’s counsel patients on nutrition, exercise, healthy habits, and occupational and lifestyle modification.
