Chiropractic care is the third largest health-care profession which deals with human health and disease processes. Chiropractic is based on the premise that joint dysfunction in the body leads to muscular and connective tissue injury affecting proper joint biomechanics and leads to pain due to inflammation and nerve irritation and compression. This can eventually lead to chronic pain and joint degeneration if left untreated over time. Our patients experience relief from pain related to traumas of all sorts including the micro trauma related to postural strain and overuse injuries. The most common complaints are low back pain and neck pain but Chiropractors treat all the joints in the body.
Chiropractic Professional Role and Responsibilities:
Chiropractors are musculoskeletal specialists trained to effectively detect and correct various musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spinal and extra-spinal joints of the body along with the associated musculature by thoroughly assessing and diagnosing patients through taking detailed medical histories and performing neurovascular and orthopaedic examinations.
The practice and procedures which may be employed by Chiropractors include, but are not limited to, the use of current diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Such procedures may include spinal and extra-spinal mobilization and manipulation, soft tissue therapy, various physiotherapeutic modalities, therapeutic exercise therapy, providing patients with information regarding the use of ergonomic aids as a means of medical intervention, and providing patient education with an emphasis on adapting healthy lifestyle habits to decrease the risk of future musculoskeletal problems as well as other health related disorders.
Chiropractic Communication and Referral:
Chiropractors enjoy a healthy professional relationship with family physicians as well as other musculoskeletal specialists, particularly physical therapists and orthopaedic surgeons. There is a great deal of overlap with regards to the conditions treated by these specialties and patients suffering from most musculoskeletal disorders are often co-managed amongst Chiropractors, Physical Therapists and Orthopaedic Surgeons to ensure maximal medical improvement.
