Chiropractic is non-invasive, hands on health care with the primary focus being on the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors at West Loop Chiropractic diagnose and treat disorders directly related to the spine, neck and other joints.
Chiropractic care, although focused on the musculoskeletal system is also used to treat other conditions such as headache. Whiplash, work and sports related injuries, strains, sprains and more.
Chiropractic also emphasizes nutrition and exercise regimes, overall wellness and modification of one’s lifestyle in an effort to improve mental and physical health. West Loop Chiropractic does not employ drugs; however, a chiropractor will not hesitate to refer a patient to other physicians and surgeons should the condition warrant it.
What is a chiropractor?
A chiropractor is a medical professional that diagnoses and treats disorders associated with the nervous system and musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors use specific techniques along with conventional methods such as X-Rays and MRI and lab tests. Based on the results of these and other tests, the chiropractor manipulates the joints to ease pain and allow the body to heal itself.
Chiropractic is based on the belief that one of the principal causes of pain is misalignment of the vertebrae in the neck and back. Using manual manipulation, applied pressure and massage, West Loop chiropractic relieves pressure and irritation on nerves and helps to restore full joint movement.
Many chiropractors focus exclusively on conditions related to the spine, conditions such as lower back pain. Others offer other alternative approaches such as acupuncture, deep tissue therapy, physical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy as well as infrared and cold laser treatments.
Chiropractors, physicians, physical therapist and others involved in health care work in harmony in sports medicine, occupational health and other rehab practices.
There are many reasons for displacement of the spinal column; falls, overexertion, accidents all contribute to back problems. Chiropractic eliminates the source of irritation, allowing your body to operate comfortably and efficiently.
