3 Noteworthy Things at a Chiropractic Visit

By Virginia Laird

Over the course of one’s life there will be many obstacles that can cause pain to the body. Whether it is work, an accident, an illness, or something different, pain is inevitable and unavoidable. Medicine may do wonders for the pain itself. However, have you ever taken a look at the side effects of pain medicine? There are many. Some consider the side effects to be much worse than the actual pain. Some side effects of over-the-counter pain medicine can include:

  • Liver damage
  • Cause of ulcers
  • Can hamper kidney function
  • Can cause miscarriage

Today there are many options for pain management that does not include medicine. Some of the other options include essential oils and acupuncture. However, one of the most effective is regular visits to the chiropractor. You are probably curious how a chiropractor might possibly help you. Your chiropractor can help you deal with various types of pain including:

  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Carpal tunnel
  • Pain associated with MS
  • Pain associated with fibromyalgia

Your First Visit

Like any other visit to a healthcare professional, your first visit will include paperwork and a history of your health. Along with the normal first visit traditions, you will undergo an overall health evaluation that may include X-rays. Your posture will also be evaluated. Due to the importance of the spine, it will always be checked. Keep in mind the spine is your chiropractor’s specialty. After all assessments have been completed, your chiropractor will determine a course of action and establish a plan.

Personalized Health Plan

During your first visit, you and your chiropractor will discuss your health goals and needs. Together, a personalized healthcare map will be established. This plan will be flexible. It will change as your needs change. Your plan will not include any unnecessary medications. It could even suggest the use of other specialists if needed.   

Medicine Free Solutions

One thing that will have you taking notice will be the absence of any added medicines to your plan. Rather, you will be introduced to a series of spinal adjustments. These adjustments will help to restore function to your body. This restoration of such functions will allow your body to heal naturally. After a matter of a few visits you may notice that you have increased flexibility and mobility along with a decrease in the pain that brought you to seek a chiropractor's help in the first place.
