What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is a type of alternative medicine. It offers diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of problems in the musculoskeletal system, which includes:
- Joints
- Bones
- Muscles
- Tendons
- Ligaments
- Cartilage
- Other connective tissues
Post Oak Chiropractic provides chiropractic care and additional natural therapies to help restore, maintain, and even improve your physical function and performance.
How does chiropractic care work?
Chiropractic care focuses on healing without the use of drugs or invasive treatments. One of the main types of chiropractic care is adjustments.
Adjustments are hands-on medicine. Highly trained chiropractors perform adjustments by using their hands (or sometimes specialized tools) to manipulate your spinal joints. They mainly focus on your back and neck but can customize your adjustments based on your pain or injury.
The spine is such an important area for treatment because it’s the pathway for brain signals, including pain and other sensations.
Chiropractic adjustments can:
- Correct spinal misalignment
- Restore healthy spinal movement
- Relieve nerve pressure
- Improve your range of motion
Post Oak Chiropractic also uses other state-of-the-art alternative methods of healing and wellness in the office. In these ways, chiropractic adjustments can ease your pain and improve your whole-body wellness.
Is chiropractic care painful?
Chiropractic adjustments focus on easing pain, not causing it. Most people experience little or no pain during adjustments, although it’s normal to have some muscle soreness for a day or so afterward.
Post Oak Chiropractic focuses on making you comfortable as fast as possible. The practice also provides other supportive treatments that ease your pain, such as:
- Massage
- Heat therapy
- Cold therapy
- Rehabilitation exercises, such as stretching and strengthening routines
With a multipart treatment plan, you can be pain-free as soon as possible and enjoy normal activities again.
