Following a chiropractic treatment, patients often report experiencing relief of pain, improved mobility and a general sense of well-being.
Through chiropractic adjustments many of the stressors (such as bad posture, motor vehicle accidents, traumas, or inappropriate sleeping positions) can be relieved. Chiropractors can play a major role in preventative care.
Through regular spinal check ups, future health problems or pain can be avoided. There are many research studies showing the effectiveness of chiropractic care and the high degree of patient satisfaction with the benefits.
Conditions that are treated by chiropractic doctors include low back pain, neck pain, mid back pain, sciatica, slipped disc, numbness and tingling conditions, frozen shoulders, carpal tunnel syndrome, elbow pain, knee pain, hip pain, ankle pain, and many other conditions.
Please consult a chiropractic doctor to see if your condition is treatable. According to the University of Maryland medical center web site, some studies indicate that for osteoarthritis (OA), chiropractic treatment can:
- increase range of motion
- restore normal movement of the spine
- relax the muscles
- improve joint coordination
- reduce pain
In fact, a comprehensive review of the scientific literature suggests that chiropractic, especially when combined with glucosamine supplements and rehabilitative stretches and exercise, is an effectively supportive treatment for OA conditions.
