Chiropractic Treatments

Chiropractic treatments consist of the following:

  • Soft tissue therapy: Chiropractors use soft tissue therapies to improve the functions of muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules.
  • Manual manipulation: A chiropractor uses their hands to apply a controlled force to joints while performing manual manipulation or an adjustment. This helps in restoring the joint’s natural movement.
  • Therapeutic exercises: These are strengthening exercises that help decrease pain, prevent muscle deterioration, and promote joint health.
  • Electronic modalities: These modalities include ultrasound and cold laser therapy. Therapeutic ultrasound is a form of deep heat therapy created by sound waves that help reduce swelling, increase blood flow, and decrease pain when applied to soft tissues. The cold laser produces light without heat, treating injured areas and improving cell functions.

The Evolution of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care traces its roots back to the Greek words "cheir" (hand) and "praktos" (done), which together form the term "Chiropractic," meaning "performed by hand." Daniel David Palmer, the pioneer and founder of chiropractic care, chose this name. In 1895, Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on Harvey Lillard, a janitor with partial deafness. Astonishingly, Lillard reported an improvement in his hearing following the treatment.

Two years later, D.D. Palmer established the first chiropractic school. Over the past century, chiropractic professionals have utilized spinal adjustments to assist individuals in managing and preventing various physical ailments, including back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle strain, headaches, migraines, and more. Dr. Palmer's work continues to benefit millions of people today.

Educational Journey of a Chiropractor

Chiropractors undergo a comprehensive training process, which typically spans a minimum of four years at a chiropractic college. Before that, they often possess an undergraduate degree in the basic sciences or have accumulated significant experience in a related healthcare field.

During their chiropractic education, students must dedicate at least 4,200 hours to studying under the guidance of experienced instructors. Additionally, they must complete at least 1,000 hours of fully supervised clinical training. Through this rigorous curriculum, chiropractic students acquire the necessary skills to accurately diagnose and effectively treat various conditions, ultimately aiming to restore the body to its natural and optimal state.
