Chiropractor

 

A chiropractor is a health care professional who works to relieve pain and improve function of the spine and joints. Chiropractic philosophy emphasizes improving the patient's health by manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and promotion of healthy lifestyles.

 

You can help your chiropractor learn about the problems you are experiencing through a conversation with them or by filling out an intake form ahead of time that asks questions such as where it hurts, how often it hurts, and how long it has been hurting.

 

A chiropractor will take a careful history of your condition. Your chiropractor will spend some time asking questions about your symptoms and how they came about. Once the chiropractor has this information, he or she can develop a treatment plan that may include diagnostic tests, soft tissue therapy, spinal adjustment, rehabilitation exercises, electrical stimulation and other techniques to help relieve your pain.

 

If you are experiencing pain while visiting a chiropractic physician, then it is important to be honest with them as well. If you don't tell the doctor where it hurts and where the pain is most intense it can make it harder for them to help you. If you tell the chiropractor, then they can help you. Don't try to keep the pain a secret in an effort to get a lower fee. If you do this, it may be difficult for the doctor to diagnose your condition and find out what is causing it so they may have to charge more money.

 

It is important for the chiropractor to take care of your pain relief needs after each visit so that you don't suffer from severe symptoms. Be sure that the chiropractor knows how long it will be until you see them again and that there are no other issues that need to be addressed before visiting them again. Read More…
