Back In Action Chiropractors

In the case of sciatica, the purpose of chiropractic treatment is to:

Free restricted movement
Restore misaligned vertebrae and pelvic bones to their normal positions
Lower nerve irritability and inflammation
Decrease muscle spasms

In many cases, chiropractic treatment (in the form of chiropractic manipulations, cryotherapy, and sometimes therapeutic ultrasound) offers noticeable relief. The patient may be asked to use ice or heat, and to perform gentle stretches while at home. The chiropractor may also ask the patient to return for several follow-up treatments in order to correct the cause of sciatic nerve compression.

At times, the chiropractor may choose to coordinate treatment with a physical therapist, massage therapist, or acupuncturist in order to better manage a patient's care.

Chiropractic is becoming very popular in the lives of today's athletes. Chiropractic care can benefit an athlete in the following ways:

Increased stamina
Improved fine motor skills
Core strengthening
Joint stability
Competitive edge
Postural symmetry
Decreased / minimized injuries
Faster recovery

Many professional athletes have noticed the pros of chiropractic care and undergo chiropractic treatment before, during, and after their important games. Athletes who make chiropractic treatment a part of their overall fitness regimen enjoy increased blood flow and circulation, increased rates of recovery, and better joint flexibility.

You don't have to be a sports professional or Olympian to take advantage of chiropractic care. Young athletes, high-performance athletes, and even those who want to have a competitive edge also benefit from chiropractic treatment.

How do you place a value on the pain you never feel, or the injury you never get because it was prevented? Wellness care is preventative care. As with dental care (brushing, flossing, and cleaning) , chiropractic care is necessary for musculoskeletal wellness.

By keeping the joints, muscles, and nerves in optimal condition, the body functions on a higher, more efficient level. Because the different organs and systems of the body are dependent upon each other, a healthy musculoskeletal system and nervous system can positively impact the other systems and processes of the body (i. e. immune system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, respiratory system, and hormones.) The same nervous system that controls the muscles by way of the spinal cord, also controls and coordinates all the important functions of the body.

Poor sleep posture, discomfort while sleeping, muscle spasms, and an inability to relax all contribute to getting insufficient rest. Many people find that they feel more rested and enjoy a better night's sleep following chiropractic treatment because they have fewer muscle spasms, and better postural alignment. After a chiropractic procedure, patients feel more rested. Many chiropractic patients also report that they wake up with less stiffness, and with fewer aches and pains.
