What are the Conditions that a Chiropractor Treats?

He or she will also address chronic pain brought on by sports and car accident injuries, pinched nerves, and herniated or bulged disks.

Treatments Offered for More Common Conditions

A chiropractor will perform a variety of nonsurgical techniques to address pain including massage and spinal adjustments, which is used to alleviate pressure on the spine.

A massage technique called manual muscle therapy can help loosen tightened muscles and break up scar tissues in order to reduce inflammation and restore freedom of motion. Low current therapy and nerve reflex therapy are also specialized techniques that can alleviate pain and improve flexibility. Every condition that can be treated by a chiropractor is tailored for the needs of the particular patient.
