Doctors of Chiropractic do not just treat the evident symptoms of pain. Instead, they endeavor to find and treat the cause of the pain (i.e., correct the lack of body harmony--the vertebral subluxations complex). Because our body structure affects our overall function, care received from a Chiropractor can also extend to general health issues, including counseling for diet, nutrition, exercise, and occupational and lifestyle modification.
Many people think of chiropractic care as a natural, drug-free way to get healthy and for better resistance to disease. But it’s not only about the disease. People also visit a doctor of chiropractic to gain more energy, improve sports performance, and retain their alertness.
Here are three things you should know about a doctor of chiropractic:
- A chiropractor does not prescribe medication.
- A chiropractor can treat pain anywhere in the body.
- A chiropractor focuses on prevention--health wholeness.
Here are a few questions to ask a doctor of chiropractic that will help you gain a better understanding of your chiropractic care:
- Which techniques are used and why?
- Is manipulation performed manually or with an instrument?
- How will your specific problem be treated?
- How many treatments will be prescribed?
- How long will it take to be free from pain?
