What is functional medicine?
Although named functional medicine, the term does not relate to traditional medicines. Instead, it refers to various physical means of treatment by relying on the body’s self-healing powers. Chiropractic philosophy revolves around spine health. Chiropractors help maintain a healthy spine, which takes good care of the other body parts and ensures a pain-free experience. Chiropractic treatment relies on manual therapy that often includes spinal manipulation. In addition, exercises, proper diet and nutrition, and counseling are part of the chiropractic treatment to ensure long-term remedy from pain.
The chiropractic approach
The approach to patient care during chiropractic treatment is identical to that of the methods used in conventional medicine. A session with a chiropractor begins by interviewing patients, which includes performing a physical examination of the whole body, obtaining the medical history, performing medical tests, and developing a diagnosis. Based on the information gathered, chiropractors develop a tailor-made treatment plan and monitor the progress. The treatment focuses on managing the existing condition by working out remedies based on the musculoskeletal system.
The chiropractic approach attempts to understand the body as a whole to help regain the body’s natural communication ability across various points. During the process, they identify and access the tools necessary to help the body restore vitality.
Treatment methods
The chiropractic treatment methods are completely physical, including stretching and applying controlled and sustained pressure at specific joints with necessary manipulations. The hands of chiropractors are the primary tools for administering the treatment, as all manipulations involve gentle and quick thrusts. Improving the movements and motion of the joints is possible due to the manipulations of the body parts, which eliminates pain and helps patients move freely.
Since the spine supports the musculoskeletal system, spine manipulation is at the root of chiropractic treatment. Usually, spinal adjustments are effective in treating pain in any part of the body, but chiropractors do similar manipulations in other body parts if necessary.
Chiropractic adjustments and physical therapies go hand-in-hand as it helps to address the root cause of the problem and ensure long-term relief from pain and discomfort. Therefore, chiropractors do much more than just joint manipulations; the treatment plan includes physical therapies, exercises for rehabilitation, and nutritional counseling. You can expect the best result from chiropractic treatment only when all the elements work in perfect harmony. Make sure that you visit a well-established one for your treatment.
