See How Chiropractic Care Is Right for You

By Alexis Mills

For those of you suffering from pain or health conditions, I am here to tell you that you don't always have to feel this way. Chiropractors have helped millions -- from infants to seniors -- achieve a healthier life through natural, non-surgical care of the spine. Discover the variety of ways chiropractors have earned the reputation for more than a century of being one of the best holistic health care options available.

What Do Chiropractors Treat?

People who aren't fully informed, or aware, typically think that chiropractors only address back pain. While they are most known for caring for back pain, neck pain and headaches, there are other conditions that chiropractors treat that aren't quite as well known. Chiropractors treat the body to be able to move the way it's meant to by helping your central nervous system communicate effectively through all its parts. Through everyday wear and tear, the body suffers joint restrictions -- often called misalignments -- that chiropractors are able to treat through adjustments.

Conditions that respond well to chiropractic care:

• Sports injuries
• Shoulder pain
• Arthritis
• Migraines or headaches
• Neck and back pain
• Herniated disc
• Sciatica
• Whiplash
• Inflexibility

How Safe is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive treatments available. Chiropractors are well-trained professionals who are focused on supporting the body's ability to naturally heal itself. But it's also important to be honest about what to expect from chiropractic care. Patients note that after treatment, they may feel a soreness or aching similar to what you feel after a good workout. No need to fret, the soreness fades usually within 24 hours and is a small side effect you may experience from chiropractic care -- if you experience it at all. To ensure that you are receiving the best chiropractic and health care, you must be open and honest with your chiropractor. This will help the doctor offer the safest care for you even if that involves referring you to a different healthcare provider.
