It involves the safe, gentle and specific manipulative treatment of restricted joints – especially those of the spinal column, which are believed to cause other disorders by affecting the nerves, muscles and organs.
During the chiropractic appointment the doctor will first understand the cause and source of your complaint and then focus on treating the cause in order to restore normal range of motion, improve overall movement and help relieve pain.
A full physical examination will be conducted during the first consultation in order for your chiropractor to understand your complaint, diagnose and treat it. This includes appropriate orthopaedic and neurological tests, whereby muscle strength, nerve function and joint function, as well as body balance and alignment are determined. Your chiropractor will then be in a position to establish problem areas and identify the source of the complaint.
Once your chiropractor has diagnosed the problem, he or she will recommend a treatment plan. This could be in the form of only a single visit or your condition may also require further, continued care, necessitating several treatments to stabilise the problem. Treatment will most likely include manipulation, soft tissue therapies and other techniques such as heat, ice, shockwave, dry needling, massage and exercise to enhance results.
