Chiropractor and Physiotherapist
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with chronic pain, finally identifying the elusive cause of the often diminished quality of life can be a welcome relief. Finally, you can understand the reason behind common symptoms like aches, pains, tenderness, extreme fatigue, and difficulty sleeping.
Treatment by a chiropractor and physiotherapist can also relieve your symptoms significantly. A multidisciplinary rehabilitation clinic, where a chiropractor works with physiotherapists, massage therapists, and kinesiologists, can provide comfort and relief to the patient and reduce the need for pharmacological interventions in finding comfort, function, and pain relief for the patient.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help me?
A chiropractor will explain to you that your body is a connected system, and any imbalance can lead to a decrease in function and strength. Chiropractors can also help restore balance to the skeletal system through various treatment approaches such as gentle stretches, manipulations, and adjustments. The chiropractic treatment approach offers a drug-free way to relieve your pain and improve functioning.
For Chronic Pain, a Combination of Chiropractic and Physiotherapy is Essential
A chiropractor may recommend a combination of chiropractic care and physiotherapy. Complex musculoskeletal and neurological conditions are best treated in multidisciplinary treatment settings where treatment providers from different specialties work together to best address your specific challenges. A physiotherapist can help the patient control pain, build strength, and improve flexibility and endurance. Physiotherapy can also help minimize or prevent relapses and relieve deep muscle pain.
A physiotherapist can educate and guide people with chronic pain by helping the patient provide healthier options and perspectives. Stretching and relaxation exercises are designed to improve flexibility and prevent muscle stiffness. Heat, ice, ultrasound, deep tissue massage, TENS therapy, and home and on-site exercise program have been shown to greatly reduce muscle pain and improve mobility.
When a chiropractor and physiotherapist work together, they can create and deliver a personalized, optimized, and balanced treatment plan to the patient. They track your progress and provide you with the tools you need to deal with chronic pain daily. While you may have to visit a rehab clinic once or twice a week, you’ll also provide you with instructions and knowledge on how to manage your symptoms.
