Chiropractors are specialists who focus on the diagnosis and treatment of dysfunctions and diseases of the muscular, neurological, and skeletal systems. They treat conditions such as migraine headache treatments, lower back pain chiropractor, neck pain, shoulder and knee injuries among many other conditions. Chiropractors are primary care doctors which means that no medical referral is necessary before seeing a chiropractor. A Chiropractor is able to take a detailed history and perform a physical exam in order to make a diagnosis. They will also be able to come up with an individualized treatment plan and then initiate the appropriate treatment.
The type of treatment you will receive depends on what clinic you choose to visit. Some chiropractors focus solely on the “chiropractic adjustment” as a means of treatment while other chiropractors combine a variety of treatments into one. At Edgar Family Chiropractic, a Burlington chiropractor will treat both muscles and joints as well as nerves all in one treatment. This is called comprehensive rehabilitation and it combines physiotherapy and chiropractic in one treatment. This chiropractor Burlington will do muscle work, use state of the art instruments to relax muscles and improve joint motion, use physiotherapy modalities (such as electrotherapy, acupuncture, ultrasound, hear therapy ect.), a chiropractic adjustment when necessary, and finally exercises to help rehabilitate muscles and improve strength.
Low Back Pain is a very common complaint in chiropractic offices. A lower back pain chiropractor will treat this condition by relaxing the muscles that may be in spasm, improving motion in joints that might be restricted, decreasing any inflammation in the area and finally strengthen the muscles so that the likelihood of injury is reduced. Not all chiropractors work this way so it is important to find a chiropractor who is willing to treat this way. The chiropractors at Edgar Family Chiropractic treat low back pain in this way!
Migraine headache treatment is also performed in a similar way as above. If the migraine headache is aggravated from tension collecting in the neck and jaw, the chiropractor will address those areas and apply the same principles of treatment as those for the low back. Many patients report a decrease in frequency and intensity of headaches with chiropractic therapy.
