What You Should Know About Your First Visit To A Chiropractor

Your First Visit To A Chiropractor

Your first visit a chiropractor can be a little frightening. To some, treating back pain by cracking your spine just doesn't make sense. Your initial fear only occurs because most people don’t totally understand the science behind chiropractic care. The first time you visit a chiropractor’s office, you are x-rayed and examined to assess your condition. Your chiropractor will recommend a course of treatment; describe what they are going to do and how often they want to see you. Unlike medical doctors that you see annually for a few minutes, working with a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine means developing a relationship. Treatments are spread out over time to make sure that your muscles, tendons and ligaments are able to maintain their correct positioning.

What Does A Chiropractor Actually Do?

A misaligned back is a recipe for physical pain and disaster. A misaligned spine can affect almost every other aspect of your physical health. Nerves that carry messages for repairing damaged or worn tissue don’t always do a proper job, if at all. A pinched nerve is extremely painful; but the ripple effect of a misaligned spine can be detrimental to your health.

By putting everything back where it belongs back pain is often relieved. Over weight, bad posture, sports injuries, auto and work related accidents all take their toll over time. Working with a chiropractor can help reduce or eliminate complications that have built up over years.

Other Health Benefits of Visiting a Chiropractor
