Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments

For patients who suffer from neck pain, back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, or whiplash, chiropractic care offers natural and effective treatment. Since chiropractic care requires no medication, it’s a complementary method that can be used alongside conventional medical treatment. If you’ve never visited a chiropractor before, explore the wellness benefits of chiropractic adjustments.

Improves Mobility

Patients often seek chiropractic care when injuries or chronic pain have reduced their mobility. Patients may have limited to no movement or experience pain on a daily basis. Through a series of adjustments, chiropractors can gradually restore the full range of motion to affected joints and muscles. Many patients feel their condition improves after their first visit to the chiropractor. Mobility will continue to improve over the course of treatment. Some patients may say they are able to move better after treatment than they could before the injury.

Treats Chronic Pain

Often, patients who suffer pain are encouraged to take a pill. Medication only masks the symptoms of their pain; it does not treat the underlying condition. Since chiropractic care treats the root condition that is causing the pain, it is a more effective way to relieve chronic pain and restore wellness for good.

Relieves Neck and Back Pain

Neck and back pain are skyrocketing due to poor ergonomics. Frequent usage of smartphones leads to a condition known as text neck, where the neck muscles are permanently pushed forward, causing strain and pain. Combined with lifestyle adjustments that promote proper ergonomics, chiropractic adjustments relieve neck and back pain for good. Patients are able to enjoy a better quality of life when they aren’t suffering from chronic pain. Some people may be able to resume favorite activities they ceased participating in due to pain.

Reduces Inflammation

Inflammation is an underlying cause of muscle tension and chronic pain. High levels of inflammation are caused by environmental factors, diet, stress, and injury. Chiropractic adjustments relieve chronic inflammation. Not only does this lower the amount of pain experienced by patients, it promotes better health.

Conservative Care

Traditional treatment of back pain often suggests invasive procedures, such as surgery. Yet surgery is often not effective at relieving back pain permanently. Compared to traditional treatment methods, chiropractic care is a conservative and gentle way to treat a patient’s condition. It should be considered before invasive procedures, rather than as a “last ditch” effort to resolve musculoskeletal injuries.

Encourages Wellness

A chiropractor can offer suggestions to help you not only recover from the injury, but find a better quality of life after you’ve made a full recovery. If you’ve been wanting to make a lifestyle change for better health, the right chiropractor can support you on your journey to better wellness by making suggestions to support strength, flexibility, and mobility.

Patients often come to chiropractic care after they feel like they’ve tried everything else and haven’t been able to heal their pain. Once you understand how chiropractic care heals injury and promotes wellness, you can seek care when you become injured rather than trying less successful methods first.

Why Choose Chiropractic Care for Workplace Injuries?

Why choose chiropractic care for workplace injuries?

An injury on the job affects your health and your ability to work. It is vital that you treat the underlying injuries; otherwise, you risk a recurrence of the injury after return to work. Yet many conventional treatments focus on treating the symptoms using pain medication, rather than treating the underlying causes. For this reason, chiropractic adjustments are a better choice for treating many workplace injuries.

When to See a Chiropractor

It’s important to choose the right medical care based on your injuries. While you’d see a doctor to treat a deep cut that requires stitches, a chiropractor is a better choice for workplace injuries that involve:

      • neck pain
      • back pain
      • herniated disc
      • carpal tunnel
      • frozen shoulder
      • shoulder pain
      • slipped disc
      • repetitive muscle strains and sprains
      • ergonomic injuries
      • knee pain
      • joint pain

The first phase of chiropractic treatment reduces inflammation and pain. Many patients feel a reduction in their symptoms after the initial appointment. When inflammation is reduced, a chiropractor will then adjust the tissue, joints, and spine to restore the body’s natural alignment and break apart scar tissue. This helps you regain the full range of motion you enjoyed before the injury. A chiropractor will also demonstrate stretches and corrective exercises, which you can do in between appointments and when treatment ends to maintain optimal health.

Chiropractic vs. Conventional Treatment

If you have never had chiropractic treatment before, then you may wonder how it differs from conventional medical care. Here are a few of the ways that chiropractic adjustments differ from conventional treatment of the workplace injuries mentioned above.

  • No medication required – Doctors rely on pain medication as a first-line treatment for injuries. However, pain medication has been overprescribed in the U.S., and many people are leery of taking it on account of the prescription drug epidemic. Chiropractic care does not include pain medication; many chiropractors believe that medication simply hides the pain, rather than healing the injury. There is no worry of becoming addicted to pain pills when you try chiropractic care.
  • Safe complementary treatment – Chiropractic care is a standalone treatment of workplace injuries that is gentle and effective for all ages. Individuals who have underlying health conditions may prefer chiropractic care, because there are no contraindications with the management of preexisting conditions.
  • Addressing the root – While conventional medical care does heal the presenting injury, much of the focus is on masking pain symptoms. Chiropractic care looks at the structural elements within the body that are affected by the injury and restores the body’s natural alignment. This alleviates pressure of joints and muscles, promotes natural posture, and heals soft tissue that was damaged. The result is a full recovery from the injury.

With a better understanding of workplace injuries chiropractors treat and what to expect when you see a chiropractor, you can assess your injuries and decide on the best treatment method. What’s more, you will be able to make a full recovery and return to the job you enjoy with no lingering side effects from the incident.
