Licensed Chiropractors

Chiropractors are trained in hands-on manipulation of the spine, which connects to the nervous system. By relieving pressure on the spine, and also the nervous system, they can help to increase circulation, boost full bodily healing, and relieve pain caused by pressure on the nerves. This is achieved through the ability to force your vertebrae and spine into the correct position through manual practices, which all of our chiropractors are highly trained in.

At our chiropractic centers, the best chiropractors near you that we employ use high-quality equipment and traditional methods in order to conduct this specialist spinal manipulation to the best of their ability. They can combine this with modern perspectives and technology in order to give you the best balance between traditional holistic care and modern medicine.

Our accident and injury chiropractors are trained to be able to advise you on a series of lifestyle changes that can complement your sessions, including lifestyle and dietary requirements. Joined with your chiropractic adjustments, you can then receive the best natural care possible for your injury in order to promote recovery both inside and outside sessions with your chiropractor.

Firstly, when you visit your chiropractor, they will discuss with you your injury and any other concerns that you have so that they can establish what type of treatment you will need and the practices that can suit you best. This is similar to a normal doctor’s appointment and should not be an event to be concerned about.

Then, a physical examination will most likely occur around your spinal and neck area, especially in the area which is causing you pain. This may take the form of a variety of tests such as reflex testing, strength and motion tests, all of which will help your chiropractor to discern what is causing your pain and the issue behind your health problems.

They will then be able to construct a treatment plan for you based on what they have discovered. This will take into consideration how painful the injury is, how long you have had the injury, and what you want the outcome of the care to be. They will then be able to establish how many sessions you should attend in order to recover and will discuss with you the particular practices that they believe will be beneficial to your health issue.

The chiropractor will then use their hands to conduct a spinal manipulation which can assert your vertebrae into the right position and relieve pressure on your nervous system. They may also use short, sharp movements, gradual pulling, or they may move your joints into the positions that they are meant to be in. Your doctor or GP may have recommended visiting a chiropractor, or you can self-refer, depending on your situation and the practices that you believe will benefit you the most.
