What Is Chiropractic Care & Spinal Manipulative Therapy?
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive healthcare discipline focused on the musculoskeletal system. As licensed back pain chiropractors, we use our hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent disorders of the spine, pelvis, nervous system, and joints. We develop comprehensive management plans that often include therapeutic exercises, nutritional counselling, and lifestyle adjustments.
One of the most widely used techniques within this field is spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). Using this technique, we deliver precise adjustments to the vertebrae of the spine. This targeted action corrects joint motion, restores proper movement, and improves overall bodily function. When a patient presents with multiple health issues, we coordinate with other medical professionals to ensure a safe, multidisciplinary approach to healing.
How Spinal Manipulation Works to Relieve Joint and Nerve Pain
When humans remain in a slouched posture for prolonged periods, the spine accumulates severe pressure in key areas of its curvature. This pressure disrupts nerve impulses and restricts natural movement. Patients frequently describe this sensation as feeling “locked up” or experiencing tight, pinching pains in their lower back and neck.
A chiropractic adjustment directly addresses these physical restrictions. Our practitioner applies controlled, sudden force to a specific spinal joint. This action physically pushes the joint beyond its restricted range of motion, releasing trapped gases and relieving pressure on the surrounding nerves. Restoring proper alignment allows the nervous system to transmit signals without interference. Your body functions optimally when the spine remains balanced, triggering your system’s innate ability to heal itself.
The Most Common Conditions Treated With SMT
The conditions treated with SMT extend far beyond simple muscle soreness. Common conditions treated through these manual therapies include:
- Chronic back pain and neck pain
- Tension headaches and migraines
- Whiplash from motor vehicle accidents
- Sciatic nerve pain radiating down the legs
- Scoliosis and other postural abnormalities
- Repetitive strain injuries from workplace ergonomics
- Limited range of motion in the shoulders and limbs
- Pregnancy-related pelvic discomfort
Types of Chiropractic Care We Offer
At Integrated Functional Health, we offer a wide range of chiropractic care to address various musculoskeletal issues. Here are the types of chiropractic care we offer:
- Manual Adjustments – Manual adjustments are the most common type of chiropractic technique. This involves using precise, hands-on movements to manipulate joints to improve range of motion and reduce pain. These adjustments can be applied to any joint in the body but are most commonly used for spinal manipulation.
- Instrument-Assisted Techniques – In addition to manual adjustments, we offer instrument-assisted techniques that use specialized tools to perform gentle manipulations. These instruments allow us to apply targeted force in a more controlled and precise manner, making them a great option for patients who may prefer a gentler approach or have specific health conditions that make manual adjustments challenging.
- Soft Tissue Therapy – Chiropractic care also includes various soft tissue therapies aimed at addressing issues with muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. Soft tissue therapy involves applying manual pressure or movements to these tissues to improve muscular function and increase range of motion.
Our Approach to Chiropractic Care
We prioritize finding the root cause of discomfort rather than masking symptoms with temporary solutions. Our practitioner conducts a thorough examination before recommending any spinal adjustment therapy. We carefully review X-rays or MRIs, assess your spinal range of motion, and pinpoint precise areas of misalignment. By tailoring the intervention to you, we ensure that the therapy resolves the underlying structural deficit. We also empower patients with home-care instructions, including stretches and ergonomic adjustments, to maintain their progress between appointments.
The Long-Term Benefits of Spinal Manipulative Therapy
Understanding the benefits of spinal manipulation can help you commit to your treatment schedule. Beyond immediate pain relief, routine care provides several lasting advantages, including:
- Decreased systemic inflammation
- Healthier blood circulation
- Improved sleep quality
- Increased daytime energy
- Boosted mental clarity
- Prevention of severe future injuries
- Preserved joint health and delayed onset of arthritis
- Avoidance of invasive surgical procedures later in life
