How Does Chiropractic Care Work?
Chiropractic care focuses on evaluating and treating certain musculoskeletal concerns involving the spine, joints, muscles, and surrounding tissues. Depending on the cause of your symptoms, care may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, stretching, or exercises designed to support movement and strength.
What Does a Chiropractor Do?
Chiropractors work with patients who are dealing with pain, stiffness, or trouble moving comfortably. Common reasons people seek chiropractic care include:
- Back pain
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Sciatica and nerve irritation
- Headaches related to neck tension
- Sports or work-related injuries
- Auto accident injuries, including whiplash
Depending on your condition and treatment plan, chiropractic care may help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support your return to normal activities.
What Is “Urgent” Chiropractic Care?
Urgent chiropractic care is for sudden musculoskeletal pain or injuries that need attention but aren’t life-threatening emergencies.
Urgent chiropractic care is not a substitute for emergency medical treatment. Symptoms such as severe trauma, suspected fractures, loss of consciousness, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or sudden weakness should be evaluated through appropriate emergency medical services.
Urgent care may be appropriate for:
- Sudden back or neck pain
- Muscle spasms
- Whiplash or recurring symptoms after a motor vehicle accident
- Sports or work injuries
- Joint pain that makes movement difficult
What Should You Expect from Your First Chiropractic Visit?
Your first chiropractic visit begins with a discussion about when your symptoms began, what may have triggered them, and how they affect your daily life.
Depending on your situation, the visit may include:
- Questions about your symptoms, including what makes them better or worse
- A review of your medical history, past injuries, and related health conditions
- An examination of your posture, mobility, and painful spots
- Checks of spinal and joint range of motion
- Orthopedic or neurological tests when needed, including checks of strength, sensation, or reflexes
