Taking Care Of your Spine - What Chiropractic does

Chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis, correction, and prevention of mechanical issues of the musculoskeletal system and how that affects the nervous system and the rest of the body. Chiropractic care at All Care Chiropractic facilitates the body’s own healing ability by promoting and expediting the healing process.

Our experienced practitioners use a “hands-on” approach to health care by delivering adjustments to correct dysfunction of your spine and stimulate proper function to your nervous system. The chiropractic adjustment is a very specific movement applied to correct the vertebral subluxation. By correcting the subluxation and stimulating the nervous system, the body can begin the healing process.

Chiropractic care can be applied to people of all types, including athletes, office workers, seniors, and pregnant women, to achieve a balance between the muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems. It can also be effective for neurological disorders such as mental stress, headaches, and symptoms associated with compression of the spine.

Chiropractic care can improve posture, movement, and overall well being, and can address pain in the following areas:

  • Head and neck
  • Low and mid-back
  • Hips and legs
  • Pelvis
  • Shoulders and arms
  • Knees
  • Ankles and feet

Let our commitment to excellence and value help improve the quality of your life with tailored chiropractic care. Book an appointment today with one of our licensed chiropractors.

What is the difference between a chiropractor and physiotherapist?

Physiotherapists and Chiropractors often work together to treat pain from injury, repetitive movements, and other physical pains of the body. While they may seem similar, physios and chiropractors are unique occupations, both with their own specialized training. Depending on what your particular pain is, there are reasons why you might want to see one over the other.

The main difference has to do with the spine

In chiropractic, the main focus is on the spine and how it relates to movement and function, as well as how it connects to the nervous system and bodily tissues. The core purpose of chiropractic is to manipulate the spine, using manual techniques, to treat things like headaches, neck pain, leg and back pain and more, as often, many problems stem from spinal imbalances.

Physios, on the other hand, focus on the movement and function of specific parts of the body, such as hips, shoulders, and knees, or other parts of the body that could have been affected by injury, strain, or repetitive movements, and work to heal the affected area through manual techniques, and mobilization and rehabilitation exercises.

What are the commonalities?

We’ve talked about the main difference between a physiotherapist and chiropractic, but what do they have in common?

  • Both techniques are drug-free and non-invasive
  • Both use hands-on, manual techniques to treat the body
  • Both may treat the same parts of the body
  • Both may prescribe wellness plans for after the session that patients can take home and follow
  • Both evaluate your symptoms by considering your personal health history and may even order certain tests to further evaluate
  • Both are licensed professionals with years of experience and training

When should you see one over the other?

While both modalities include manual techniques and may address the same parts of the body, the first thing you’ll want to consider is whether the pain is more spine and joint related or whether it’s more muscle related. For most people, they might not know exactly where the pain is originating. Seeking the advice of your doctor or consulting with either a physical therapist or chiropractor will be helpful in assessing which treatment is right for you.

There may be times when one recommends the other or where both therapies may be appropriate. It will really depend on your personal situation. We recommend you reach out to schedule your consultation today.
