Our chiropractor answers frequently asked questions
Paients who want to give chiropractic care may have questions. Here are answers from a chiropractor.
1. What types of conditions can a chiropractor help with?
A chiropractor treats disorders and injuries that affect the musculoskeletal system, including joints, ligaments, and tendons. Such conditions often impact the nervous system, leading to pain. Chiropractic care provides a holistic approach to addressing such disorders and injuries.
2. How safe are chiropractic treatments?
Chiropractic treatments provide a non-surgical approach to treating conditions that cause pain and inflammation in the body. The most common side effect associated with chiropractic care is mild soreness in treated muscles. This is similar to the soreness that a person experiences after an intense workout. It typically fades away within an hour.
3. Are chiropractic treatments safe for children?
Children can indeed benefit from the services of a chiropractor. Children's active lifestyles make them more prone to sustaining injuries from trauma to their bodies from sports or accidents like falls. Such injuries are often accompanied by pain and other symptoms, like soreness and stiffness.
Chiropractic care can help treat the pain and speed up the healing process. It also restores the child’s mobility. All this is done without a need for medication.
4. Is chiropractic care covered by insurance providers?
Most health insurance plans include chiropractic care. It is recognized as a safe and effective way to treat a wide range of injuries affecting muscles, joints, and ligaments.
5. What type of education does a chiropractor have?
A chiropractor has the training needed to serve as a primary healthcare provider. They are trained on how to diagnose and treat conditions that affect the neuromusculoskeletal system. These healthcare professionals complete four years of pre-medical undergraduate study and up to five years of chiropractic college. They have an extensive understanding of human anatomy, physiology, neurology, and orthopedics.
6. What goes on during a chiropractic adjustment is performed?
A chiropractic adjustment is a manual therapy that involves manipulating the patient’s joints to restore proper alignment, reduce pain, and address inflammation. It is a highly controlled treatment that rarely causes discomfort. Many patients report noticeable improvements to their condition immediately after their treatment.
7. How long does chiropractic care last?
That often comes down to the severity of the condition that the patient is dealing with. Most patients need multiple treatments to resolve their issues. The chiropractor might show them exercises that they can perform on their own to ensure that the condition does not reoccur after their treatment.
