What Can A Chiropractor Do For Me?

Health Tip

A chiropractor uses manual treatment, mainly spinal manipulation and other joint and soft tissue manipulation, to address a variety of musculoskeletal problems, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches. 


It is frequently accomplished using non-instrumental or device-free spine adjustment (manipulation) or mobilisation approaches.


Musculoskeletal issues  

A range of disorders that affect the muscles, bones, and ligaments are referred to as musculoskeletal health issues. Lower back pain and neck pain are two examples of these.

The spine is regarded as the "backbone" of the body, connecting the head (the brain), chest (the heart), belly (the gut), pelvis (the reproductive system), etc. 


To maintain proper posture and avoid problems like chronic pain, the spine is necessary in supporting the body. Spinal injuries may happen while engaging in athletic activity. 


Possible questions to ask your chiropractor:

Before or during your session with a chiropractor, you might want to inquire about the following:


  • Why do you advise taking this approach? 
  • How effective is this approach?
  • What possible side effects might this treatment have?
  • What side effects might happen in terms of my lifestyle?
  • Should I discuss this treatment plan with my family doctor first?


Additionally, it's necessary to let your chiropractor know if you have any medical conditions that may affect your treatment. 


You may find a chiropractor in your area. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) oversees the registration of chiropractors in Australia  and would be a good place to start looking.
