Chiropractic Care: What Is It?

Chiropractic care is a system of complementary medicine. It focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of the disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. Its focus is to address disorders on general health to bring the body into optimal condition and function. As opposed to mainstream traditional medicine practice that generally prescribes medication to address the symptoms. Chiropractic care eliminates the root causes of these symptoms.

Chiropractic aims to look for problem areas in the spine that causes joint restrictions. Which can lead to various symptoms throughout your body. While you may hear the term ‘misalignment’ associated with chiropractic, it is not quite appropriate. The vertebrae are not misaligned but restricted. Unable to function smoothly. Impeding range of motion and nerve function. So that can affect any part of the body. Our chiropractors at Genesis Chiropractic Clinic will check joint restrictions. And therefore let you regain function and efficiency losses resulting from them.

What To Expect in Chiropractic Treatments

Chiropractors employ manual techniques with occasional use of tools in the treatment. They use their hands in gently manipulating the 24 vertebrae. Depending on their diagnosis of your condition, they may adjust shoulders, elbows, ribs, wrists, knees, and ankles. Though you may hear the characteristic popping sound that occurs, the process rarely hurts. The treatment process is called a chiropractic adjustment.
