What Does a Chiropractor Do?

A chiropractor does chiropractic work, and this work entails the gentle manipulation of a patient’s spine. This is done to address dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system and improve a patient’s posture and gait. The main goals with chiropractic treatment are to improve the patient’s mobility and relieve pain.

Issues with mobility and pain can be caused by injuries or chronic conditions. Issues and conditions like sciatica, back pain, neck pain and many others may be improved with chiropractic treatment. Injuries due to car accidents, sports accidents, and other incidents can be treated as well. There are a lot of applications for chiropractic work, so it can help many different patients with different needs.

For over 100 years, chiropractors have been practicing manual manipulation of the spine. The treatment is natural and effective, and can optimize a patient’s mobility and functionality. For patients with some chronic and debilitating conditions, chiropractic treatment can be especially beneficial. And for patients who have tried traditional treatments that didn’t work for them, chiropractic treatment can be the one treatment that does work for them.

Many patients without chronic conditions can still benefit from seeing a chiropractor. Chiropractic treatment can be therapeutic for some people, especially those who struggle at work with repetitive and straining movements, and those who spend hours upon hours sitting in a single position. Athletes can benefit too, especially those who train regularly and require a long recovery time.

A chiropractic adjustment from a chiropractor can significantly relieve pain and treat shoulder pain, ankle pain, knee pain, neck pain, lower back pain, migraines, headaches, sciatica and many other issues. Here at Harborside Sport & Spine, you can expect one of our certified chiropractors to provide a treatment for you that could include:

● The safe mobilization and manipulation of your spine or a joint in your body
● Taping and bracing a joint in your body to prevent further injury in the area
● Recommendations for changing your diet to reduce weight, which can improve inflammation and your posture
● Rehabilitative exercises that can help improve your endurance and reduce stress on the body
● Therapy for soft tissues
● Massage

The first step toward treatment is to make a consultation with us here at our clinic. During a consultation, we’ll take a look at your medical history, your history of pain and chronic conditions, and your current symptoms and lifestyle. The chiropractor might also provide a physical exam to help the chiropractor determine the best course of action. If you and the doctor decide to proceed with chiropractic treatment, the chiropractor can do so.
