When you have been putting up with pain and discomfort for a while and don’t seem to be making any headway with the traditional methods, and any investigations have just put it down to wear and tear, where do you go next? Thankfully nothing more serioushas been found,you are probably quite relieved initially so that you just grin and bear it, but you are in a state of limbo. Overall, it is affecting your full enjoyment of life, maybe your usual activities have become restricted, and the low level pain just goes on and on. Maybe it is something more severe, a sudden onset of pain in your back, or an attack of migraine again. Or possibly your favourite sport is actually causing the problem, you have over stretched yourself or your muscles are over used. Painkillers are the automatic response in many of these situations for so many people. But do they work? Or are they simply a sticking plaster to the realissue, covering it up rather than treating the problem?
Booking a consultation with our chiropractor for fresh hope
At this Manchester chiropractic clinic, our registered chiropractor sees patients every day who are experiencing any of these typical problems and of course many others. They may have been recommended chiropractic treatment as an alternative solution by friends or family, or they may have been reading articles on the internet about their type of injury and decided that when previous methods have failed them, then trying this complementary treatment is worth their further investigation. If they have come because of a personal referral from someone who has previously undertaken chiro care and found it to be effective, then they come with genuine hope of success themselves. For others it may be a last resort. But once they begin to experience improvement after as little as one or two appointments, then they can only wish that they had discovered Manchester chiropractic services so much sooner.
What happens during a chiro appointment
With a thorough and intensive consultation and examination, Ross Chapman our resident Doctor of chiropractic will make a Report of Findings and then discuss a proposed care plan. This will rectify misalignment of the spine and the resulting pressure on nerves which have become inflamed. A chiropractor typically focuses on the musculoskeletal system. Whilst this is primarily concerned with the spine, he also addresses related issues to bones, muscles, joints, and nerves.Where there is misalignment, he is able to adjust, sometimes over a series of sessions, by using manual techniques of spinal manipulation. As true alignment is restored, function and mobility are improved, pain is relieved,and the patient’s overall health and wellbeing is improved.
What happens after…..
Because chiropractors believe that a holistic approach is the way forward in maintaining good health, your care doesn’t stop when the session is over. Chiropractic Manchester practitioner Ross Chapman is further able to offer advice on lifestyle decisions. This will include guidance on maintaining your regained neutral posture, ergonomics and how the chair you sit on at work for example can be part of your problem and what could be a better way of sitting to work for the welfare of your spine, and suggest ongoing exercises, all aimed to help patients continue in improved health and prevent future problems. If you are thinking about chiro treatments for an issue that is troubling you, Manchester Chiropractors are here with the personalised, one to one care that cannot matched that workswith you towards a positive outcome in the near future.
