Chiropractic Therapy is a hands-on technique that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of muscular and skeletal disorders through manual adjustments and/or mobilizations to the spine. This therapy focuses on the entire structure and alignment of the spine. Chiropractors usually perform adjustments to the spine or extremities to help improve the alignment which helps reduce pain, improve joint motion, and posture.
The main focus of langley chiropractic therapy specialists is spinal manipulation; however, it also includes other treatments like soft tissue (muscle) release, postural exercises, ergonomic training, and patient education.
This method is primarily used as a pain relief alternative for muscles, cartilages, ligaments, tendons, joints, and bones. The therapy is also sometimes used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment.
Chiropractic therapy usually involves the treatment through the following methods:
Spinal Manipulation and Manual Manipulation: This type of technique involves high velocity, short lever arm thrust that is applied to the restricted joints of the body to improve functionality, reduce nerve irritability, and restore range of motion. Our chiropractors are trained in various adjustments of the body such as spinal, ribs, extremities including hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, wrists and more.
Mobilization: It involves low-velocity manipulation, movement, and stretching of the muscles and joints, to increase the range of motion within the affected area.
During the first visit, the chiropractor in Langley will go through a full patient history. They might also go through any Xray reports, blood work or any other pertinent information. After the history, the chiropractor will do an assessment to examine the posture, area of injury and restrictions in the joint, which may be contributing to the problem.
The initial visit also includes treatment. During the treatment session, patient may be treated with manual adjustment or mobilizations to the area of injury. The therapy is done manually, i.e. by hand. The adjustments are done to increase the range of motion and to improve the quality of the area being treated.
