Chiropractors and How the Deal With Pain

Chiropractors are doctors that give emphasis on the traditional care and prevention of any spine-related disorders as well as painful joint issues.

As soon as diagnosis is made, the chiropractors will make necessary adjustments depending on the nature of the pain or injury.

They can employ soft-tissue therapies if there is a need and other lifestyle recommendations to improve the quality of life. It doesn’t stop there because they can also help with fitness coaching and giving nutritional advice.

From your side, you just need to properly describe the discomfort or pain you are feeling so they can make an accurate diagnosis. There are just two things you need to know about pain: acute or chronic.

Acute pain is just passing meaning it won’t stay longer. Chronic pain is the other way around since its nature is to stick around for longer periods of time. Chronic pain may be masked as a nerve pain, headache, lower back pain, neck pain and many more.

 Diagnosing the Problem

Chiropractors approach diagnosis in two ways: through physical examination and lab testing. Physical examination is an efficient way in identifying the areas of concern. The lab tests will further ascertain the 

doctor’s prognosis. Examples of physical examinations are gait examination (to check if you have imbalances when you walk), posture examination (to assess if you have poor posture), straight leg raise (to measure the flexibility of the hamstring), bending in different directions (to gauge the stiffness of the spine) and many more.

Usually physical exams are enough to pinpoint the cause but it is common for an x-ray to be done to confirm the diagnosis. Sometimes further test will be requested such as urinalysis, blood test and MRI.

Common Injuries Chiropractors Treat

If you are suffering from one of these issues chiropractic are is what you need. 

• Whiplash: Whiplash is a sudden movement of the neck that causes pain.

• Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a condition that involves a curved spine that is not normal. Mild scoliosis cannot harm but if it will progress, it will definitely affect your lifestyle at the end of the day.

• Back and Neck Pain: Pain that is in your neck or back or both will only progress or cause you to compensate for it by walking different causing more pressure on other parts of your body ultimately give you more trouble down the road if it is not corrected properly. 
• Degenerative disc disease: It is normal for the spine’s disc to change but if it causes pain, that is degenerative disc disease. Discs are important because it makes bending and stretching possible. The pain is usually caused by the wear and tear of discs.
• Myofascial pain: This is also referred as muscular pain. It may affect a single muscle or an entire muscle group.
• Soft tissue injuries: Soft tissue injury refers to the impairment of ligaments and muscles throughout the body. Causes include strain, sprain and even contusion.
• Osteoarthritis: This is one of the most common chronic pains that involve the joints. It starts from the breaking down of cartilage leading to pain, swelling and stiffness.
