Chiropractic proves to be an alternative in treating various health disorders such as the following:
- Scoliosis is a medical condition wherein the spine curves from side to side and once it becomes severe, may put pressure on both the heart and the lungs affecting the person’s physical activities. Since the main focus of Chiropractic is the spine, it can help in treating the disorder. They have extensive training in correcting the skewed bones of the spine. Chiropractor will conduct series of examinations including X-ray to get an exact image of the curvature of the spine. This will then be measured to verify the curvature’s angle and the scoliosis’ degree of severity. Corrective exercise can be suggested as well as physiotherapy modalities to aid in the healing process of the soft tissues that are affected. Chiropractic is most efficient in treating scoliosis if it can be done at the earliest stage before the curvature becomes severe.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often typified by a tingling sensation, numbness or pain on the hand often caused by firmness of the nerve in the wrist area. If not properly treated, permanent numbness and weakness may occur due to nerve damage. A surgery is normally recommended wherein the ligament in the wrist that pushes down the nerve will be cut. But as an alternative, Chiropractors can give relief by means of doing a mild treatment on the carpal tunnel bones in the wrist. This procedure can relieve numbness, pain and weakness of the arm, hand and fingers.
- Low Back Strains usually occurs when lower back muscles are irregularly torn or stretched as a result of strenuous physical activity, improper lifting or frequent twisting. Chiropractic executes physiotherapy modalities to facilitate the restoration of the damaged ligament or muscle.
- Tension Headache is related to stress and often associated with scalp’s muscles contraction causing pain to two sides of head that may last for as short as thirty minutes or as long as several days. To relieve tension headache, Chiropractor will do some therapy on the neck’s muscles to relax them. The abnormal curve in the neck area is associated with tension headache.
- Whiplash Injury may arise after a vehicular accident wherein there was an abrupt head motion either on a backward or forward motion. The most common way of treating a whiplash injury is with the use of cervical collar in order to prevent the neck from moving but some research pointed out that movement is necessary to avoid other problems. To correct the misaligned bones at the neck, Chiropractic adjustments will be executed together with therapeutic exercise to quicken the curing of tissue.
