How Does Chiropractic Care Work?

Chiropractic care is a form of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Chiropractors use their hands to manipulate the joints and muscles in your body. A chiropractor can help you improve your range of motion, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. To address joint pain, chiropractors use the following techniques:

HVLA SMT: High-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation is a chiropractic technique that involves applying sudden and gentle force to the joints. This helps improve the joint’s range of motion and reduce pain.

Heat and cold therapy: Heat and cold therapy are often used to reduce inflammation and pain. Heat therapy increases blood flow to the area, which helps reduce stiffness and pain. Cold therapy numbs the area and reduces inflammation.

Ultrasound: Ultrasound is a chiropractic technique that uses sound waves to generate heat. This helps reduce inflammation and muscle spasms. It also promotes healing by increasing blood flow to the area. A licensed chiropractor can administer ultrasound treatment to ease your joint pain.

TENS: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation or TENS, is a chiropractic technique that uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain. Only a skilled and licensed joint pain chiropractor can successfully administer TENS treatment.

Chiropractic Care Helps Joint Pain

A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic care is an effective treatment for chronic low back pain. The study looked at a group of people who received chiropractic care and compared them to a group of people who did not receive chiropractic care. The results showed that the group who received chiropractic care had significantly less pain than the group who did not.
