Chiropractic focuses on joint, muscle and nerve function. It helps restore optimal function of the spine and limbs. The goal is to decrease pain, inflammation and muscle tightness. Chiropractic helps to improve range of motion, strength, flexibility and overall health. The most common mode of therapy utilised by chiropractors is the adjustment. Treatments may also include physical therapy modalities, soft tissue therapies, therapeutic exercises (rehabilitation), as well as nutritional and healthy lifestyle recommendations. Following a thorough medical history and physical assessment, the chiropractor will make a diagnosis and design a personalized treatment plan.
