What do Chiropractors do?
Chiropractors do far more than ‘just cracking’ joints!
Do you think that Chiropractic care is just ‘cracking’ backs and that back pain is all that Chiropractors do? It may surprise you that Chiropractors are trained to treat mechanical pains all over the body with a variety of Chiropractic techniques/ treatment options depending on your condition, age and need.
Every person is different and so everyone requires a bespoke Chiropractic treatment plan/approach.
We are an EIP – Evidence Informed Practice. This simply means that we use all our professional training, combined with 50+ years of clinical practice and integrated with new Chiropractic treatment methods proven by research. Why should this be important to you? It means that your Chiropractic care will not be just ‘cracking’ joints. You will be treated with a combined approach using our extensive experience with the aim of getting you feeling better, faster. Each appointment your personal, tailored approach may consist of:
Hands On Treatments
Traditional Chiropractic care – hands on manipulation (firm, fast, specific movements) or mobilisation (less firm, slower stretching movements) may be used. Taking into consideration many factors such as your pain levels, age, personal preference and underlying medical conditions. There are many techniques we can use to help you.
PBM Therapy
PBM Therapy using our THOR LX2 PBM Therapy machines can help us reduce your pain, inflammation, swelling and help promote tissue repair. PBM is an invaluable treatment method for those conditions where manual treatment is not appropriate e.g. very acute joint or back pain or if you prefer a non manual approach.
You may need stretching or strengthening of your muscles to speed up and maintain recovery. This may vary from a simple demonstration in the treatment room, to progressive rehabilitation using our ‘Rehabilitation App’ – so you have HD videos with explanation to remind you of what you need to do.
Chiropractic Ergonomics
Working, sitting, driving postures and sleeping position as well as other lifestyle triggers can have a significant effect on your pains and how quickly you respond to treatment. By offering you Chiropractic ergonomic advice to help make small changes, we can often help you see big differences in your pain.
Self Help Advice
We take the time to explain to you about do’s & don’ts so you can help avoid aggravating your pains. ‘Should you carry on as normal?’ ‘It is ok to work’? ‘What postures can help reduce your pain and symptoms?’ Should you exercise/stretch or is it better to rest initially?’ ‘Should you use heat or cold packs?’
General Health Advice
With our 50+ years of combined experience dealing with patients who have had problems just like yours. This means we have a wealth of knowledge in healthcare, so if you have any general questions about yours or your family’s health and wellbeing, just ask us. Why not pick our brains and see what we have to say on the matter?
Conditions Chiropractors treat
In 2010, the UK evidence report by Professor Gert Bronfort on the ‘Effectiveness of Manual Therapies’ commissioned by the GCC was published. It concluded that spinal manipulation/mobilisation was effective in adults for acute, subacute, and chronic low back pain (lower back pain), for migraine prevention and cervicogenic headache, and a number of upper and lower extremity joint conditions. Thoracic spinal manipulation/mobilisation is effective for acute/subacute neck pain, and, when combined with exercise, cervical spinal/manipulation is effective for chronic neck pain. Treatments and advice are available for sciatica.
This report has since been updated by the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the Advertising Authority (ASA. These two organisations have collectively issued evidence-based guidance about the conditions that Chiropractors may claim to treat.
The conditions Chiropractors can claim to treat are*: Acute & chronic backache, back pain, e.g. low back pain/lower back pain, sciatica, leg pain, mechanical neck pain, muscle spasms, generalised aches and pains, joint pain including pains from osteoarthritis, shoulder soft tissue complaints, rotator cuff injuries elbow pains, tennis/golfer elbow, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, migraine prevention
* we use a variety of approaches to help you – not just ‘hands-on manual therapy’. So the evidence of effectiveness is not just limited to a manual scope of practice.
