When Should a Person Visit a Chiropractor?

Many believe that visiting a chiropractor is solely necessary when there has been a major injury to the back. This belief prevents individuals from seeking chiropractic care when substantial benefits can be obtained from treatment. However, chiropractic care can alleviate all types of pain and discomfort that originate from the musculoskeletal and nervous system. In fact, the majority of complaints relating to pain and discomfort are directly related to muscles, tendons, joints and the spine, which is the specialty of a chiropractor.

A state-of-the-art chiropractic office, like Family Chiropractic Care, can in fact provide relief under the guidance of a trained and experienced chiropractor from many ailments through a combination of spinal adjustment, correction of poor posture, massage therapy, nutritional services, corrective exercises and lifestyle advice.

Some of the conditions under which a person should visit a chiropractic office which focuses on comprehensive care include:

• Musculoskeletal pain in the back, neck, foot, knee, etc.
• Poor posture
• Chronic illnesses, such as Osteoarthritis, Spondylolisthesis, Spinal Stenosis and other types of inflammatory conditions that affect the joints and muscles
• Injuries, such as those that may be related to work, sports participation and accidents, which have caused whiplash, herniated discs, fractures, sprains and/or overall pain
• Chronic pain and discomfort resulting in pulled muscles
• Nutritional deficiencies, dehydration and/or fatigue
