Most of us put our bodies through fairly harsh conditions on a daily basis. We bend, stretch, pick up heavy bags of groceries, care for children – and sometimes even lift them, tug luggage through airports, sit for long periods of time, move rapidly and have our noses to electronic equipment during a good portion of the day. No wonder we get achy! We may stretch, take yoga, run, walk or bike to help counteract some of these activities. It all helps. But often we neglect our spine and musculoskeletal system.
Treating physical issues. As careful and as health conscious as you may be, there are still times when a person can suffer with pain, stiffness or mobility issues. These are common complaints that may benefit from adjustments to the body. Headaches are another reason that someone may seek out a chiropractor. Treating headache pain may focus on the frequency of occurrences and/or the severity of the pain. Poor posture is another reason why someone may consult a chiropractor.
Chiropractic care in tandem with other medical care. Frequently, patients seek chiropractic care at the same time they are being treated traditionally by healthcare professionals. Chiropractic care may help someone heal quickly without the use of prescription drugs. It can also be used in conjunction with other medical care to speed up the recovery process.
Preventative care. Many people have a positive view and seek chiropractic care for preventative purposes. Chiropractic care can help maintain overall health. It can also relieve pain so that we are less reliant on over the counter or prescription medications.
Preparing for chiropractic care. Some chiropractors request a consultation first, before treatment, to make sure you are a good candidate for chiropractic care. And a chiropractor may request a medical history and any imaging you’ve had done prior to your appointment.
How does chiropractic care work? Chiropractors use subtle corrections to the spine and joints. They may gently stretch joints, allowing a greater range of motion. In general, a chiropractor works to align the vertebrae in the spine.

According to the American Chiropractic Association, chiropractic care is often a first line of defense against pain. “The essential services provided by chiropractors represent a primary approach for the prevention, diagnosis and conservative (non-drug) management of back pain and spinal disorders that can help some patients reduce or avoid the need for riskier treatments, such as prescription opioid pain medications and surgery.
