Chiropractors are concerned with the framework of bones and muscles that support the body ( the musculoskeletal sysem). Some problems of the musculoskeletal system can be caused by accidents, stress, lack of exercise, poor posture, illness and everyday wear and tear. The problems may cause pressure on the nerves in the body.
Depending on your condidtion, the chiroprator may manipulate parts of your spine or joints and give you advice on exercise, self-help, diet and lifestyle. Some chiropracters also offer rehabilitation programme.
Manipulation involves precisely handling or moving joints, or parts of the spine, sometimes moving them further than they would normally move.
Chiropractic treatment is usually painless unles an area is inflamed (swollen). If this is the case your chiropractor will alter the treatment.Don't worry if you hear a clicking and popping noise when one of your joints is being malipulated - this is perfectly normal with this form of treatment.
Some patients have a mild reactions such as temporary aches and pains after their spine or joints have been manipulated or after exercising.
It is important that you talk to your chiropracter if you feel worried about anything either during or after treatment.
