What Does a Chiropractor Actually Do? Simple Guide

A Chiropractor, considered a blessing of modern medical science, is a healthcare professional who treats neuromuscular disorders. Without the use of medications they can relieve you of back pain, neck pain, sciatica and other spinal problems. But how? In this blog, we are going to talk about the treatment system of the chiropractor and what they actually do.

Following steps of a chiropractor

A chiropractor always follows some steps to treat in an effective way. Here are some essential steps

Taking a physical exam

First of all, a chiropractor takes a physical exam of posture, arm and leg move-ability, muscle strength and other unordinary things they find. It is a diagnostic experience.

Realigning the spine

They ensure the perfect spinal adjustments. If there is a misalignment of spine or shoulder, they will realign it. Sometimes, the misalignments are found at the shoulder and hip.

Massaging

They apply massage therapy by hand or technical support to make your body function more smoothly, normal blood circulation and easy breathing.

Exercising

Exercise like swimming and cycling are essential to ease the joints. A chiropractor usually suggests this kind of exercise.

Taking tissue therapy

This therapy not only softens the tissue but also tightens the muscle. It also makes the muscle stronger.

Taking hot and cold therapy

They use a hot water bag and ice to reduce pain and discomfort. Each therapy is used for a different purpose.

Imaging scan

X-ray or MRI is also used if needed. Usually accidental injury needs an imaging scan.
