Chiropractic Care

How It Works

Chiropractic physicians provide their patients with an approach to medicine sometimes referred to as a “holistic” approach where the provider not only treats the current symptoms the patient is experiencing but they treat the body as a whole.

Although spinal and extremity adjustments are the most common treatment used, the chiropractors at Comprehensive Medical Care may work alongside our other treatment providers to utilize a variety of techniques in combination to treat the joints and muscle tissues of the body, such as:

• Chiropractic Manipulative Treatment
• Massage therapy
• Manual therapy
• Cryotherapy
• Vasocompression
• Ultrasound therapy
• Electrical muscle stimulation
• Nutritional Counseling
• Clinical Kinesiology
• Rehabilitative exercise
• Active release therapy
• Class IV Laser
• FMS(Functional Movement Screening)
• Physical Performance Testing
• Biofeedback

Neck pain and chronic headaches are other ailments that can often be effectively treated through chiropractic treatment. A chiropractor uses the aforementioned methods to balance the relationship between structure and function of the human body parts. These allow the patient to take advantage of the powerful self-healing ability of the body, without relying on outside substances to treat his/her condition.

What To Expect

Minor side effects, such as soreness, stiffening and recurrent pains, may occur following the treatment depending on the severity of the injury and the patient’s current level of physical fitness. Most of these occur approximately one hour after treatment and subside within a day or two. Overall, chiropractic treatment is a safe alternative approach when employed skillfully and properly.
