As has been confirmed through numerous studies, chiropractic care is highly effective for pain in the connective tissue, joints, muscles, and bones. The team of Naperville chiropractors and physical therapists work alongside other pain specialists, physicians, and primary caregivers, to develop an all-natural treatment plan that directly targets the root cause of your pain.
Nerve damage, in some form, is the cause of all pain in the human body. Nerve impingement, be it because of a degenerative condition, an injury, or an accident, can lead to acute or chronic pain. Chiropractic care involves diagnosing the source of the pain, that is, the specific area in the body where the nerves are affected, and relieving this pressure through gentle manipulations of the spinal vertebrae, joints, and soft tissue.
On the whole, chiropractic therapy is beneficial in the management of:
Your chiropractor Naperville will take into consideration several things in creating a treatment plan that is just for you. This includes the findings after reviewing your symptoms and medical history. The chiropractor will also physically examine you and may also order X-rays and other tests.
This bespoke pain management plan may comprise any one or more of the following methods and tips.
1. Professional Spinal Manipulations
Chiropractic adjustments involve applying pressure to and massaging spines and joints. Your chiropractor will manipulate the vertebrae in your spine to target the pain. In addition to pain management, these adjustments help to improve your flexibility and range of motion.
2. Manual Therapies
In addition to spinal adjustment, your chiropractor may apply massage, trigger point therapy, and other manual therapies to release tension in the soft tissue. This tension release relieves pain. The most common techniques you can expect your chiropractor and physical therapist to use include gliding, stroking, and kneading
3. Rehabilitative Exercises
Different exercises help to achieve pain management and control in different ways. Stretching and strengthening exercises will not only help improve your pain, but they also improve function.
For the best results, your chiropractor and physical therapists will create and supervise an exercise therapy plan that is customized just for you. Crucial parameters of the plan include the mode, intensity, duration, and frequency of each exercise. Your chiropractor may modify the exercise plan over time with even better results.
4. Postural and Ergonomic Training
Training yourself to always adopt the correct posture can help reduce and even eliminate stress on your muscles and strengthen them. Your chiropractor Naperville can offer comprehensive ergonomic training, showing you how to stand, walk and sit properly to avoid straining your muscles.
For example, by keeping your head up, chest forward, and shoulders straight when standing can help prevent muscle strain. Similarly, you can avoid neck and back pain when sitting by ensuring your knees and hips are at a right angle.
5. Lifestyle and Nutrition Changes
Changing your nutrition and lifestyle can improve your pain tremendously. Your chiropractor may provide counseling on different areas and recommend changes to your sleep habits, diet, and exercise. Similarly, your chiropractor can recommend some practical and effective ways to manage your stress levels and positively impact pain control.
For instance, following the advice to limit or even cut out processed foods is a dietary change that can help with pain management. Processed foods contain too much sugar, salt, and fat, all of which can create an imbalance that may result in joint and bone inflammation.
