5 tips for chiropractic care

Description:

Chiropractic care is primarily focused on a technique called joint manipulation. Joint manipulation is a technique used by chiropractors to introduce motion into joints that have a decreased range of motion. The joint is taken to the end of its range of motion and then is very quickly pushed slightly past that point. This is done in a very controlled and safe manner. Performing this technique stretches the joint capsule, the ligaments that hold the joint together, and returns the joint to its normal range of motion. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Chiropractic Care Tips
  • Chiropractic care is primarily focused on a
    technique called joint manipulation.
  • Joint manipulation is a technique used by
    chiropractors to introduce motion into joints
    that have a decreased range of motion.
  • The joint is taken to the end of its range of
    motion and then is very quickly pushed slightly
    past that point.
  • Performing this technique stretches the joint
    capsule, the ligaments that hold the joint
    together, and returns the joint to its normal
    range of motion.

Chiropractic Care Tips
  • Joint manipulation also has an effect on the soft
    tissues around a joint by quickly stretching the
    muscles and tendons.
  • This sudden stretch activates the golgi tendon
    organ within tendons.
  • Activating this structure causes a reflex
    relaxation in the muscle that is attached to the
    tendon.

Chiropractic Care Tips
  • The human body is under a lot of stress and
    pressure on a daily basis, which could lead to
    overuse injuries that the majority ignore until
    they cannot handle the severe effects.
  • People who are likely to suffer from these
    injuries are those who have jobs that require
    strenuous physical activity and have rigorous
    schedules, or those who take part in athletics.

Chiropractic Care Tips
  • As a part of the sports chiropractic care
    performed at Premier Sports and Spine Center, a
    thorough exam is performed to determine whether
    or not joint manipulation is a necessary part of
    your treatment.
  • In some cases, a technique called joint
    mobilization is more appropriate.
  • This technique involves gently introducing motion
    into the joints. In virtually all cases there is
    a soft tissue component to a patients condition.

Chiropractic Care Tips
  • For this reason, the sports chiropractic
    physicians at Premier Sports and Spine utilize
    multiple techniques to treat each athletic
    injury.
  • Each treatment addresses the soft tissues as well
    as the joints involved.
  • This multi-technique approach gives the patient
    their best opportunity to get out of pain
    permanently.
