Benefits of a therapeutic chiropractor

Chiropractic care is often associated with spinal adjustments and joint manipulation, but it is a much broader field that encompasses a variety of techniques and therapies. Therapeutic chiropractors are trained to do more than look after your spine. Chiropractic care addresses a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including back painneck painheadachesshoulder injurieship and knee injuries, sciatica, sports injuries, and more. 

Therapeutic chiropractors

Use various treatment techniques, tools, and modalities to deliver therapeutic treatment aimed at reducing pain and improving mobility in the musculoskeletal system.  While joint manipulation is a valuable technique used by most if not all chiropractors when treating patients to help relieve pain and improve mobility, a therapeutic approach to chiropractic care incorporating a range of treatment modalities, including soft tissue massage therapy, exercise and rehabilitation, lifestyle and activity modification advice, often help patients to achieve optimal health and improved quality of movement with better longevity.

For example, if you have shoulder pain, treatment programs combining chiropractic, massage and functional exercises, will address the tightness in your muscles and joints.  While functional exercise will look at your strength and movement patterns.

Spinal Adjustments

Spinal adjustments: This is the most well-known technique that chiropractors use to treat conditions related to the spine. It involves applying pressure to a joint that is not moving correctly. The goal is to restore the joint’s proper movement and mobility, which can reduce pain and improve function

Functional Exercise & Rehabilitation

Chiropractors may prescribe exercises to improve strength and flexibility, and to help prevent future injuries. They may also use rehabilitation techniques to help patients recover from injuries or surgeries.  We have found functional exercises to be the most effective form of rehabiliatation exercises.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Chiropractors may also use soft tissue techniques, such as massage or trigger point therapy, to release tension in muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

Dulwich Hill Chiropractor Patient Study

Recently we were treating a patient from Dulwich Hill, nsw.  This patient is a New South Wales level participant in sport who is looking to represent Australia.  Being close to Dulwich Hill when looking for a Dulwich Hill chiropractic clinic, we were fortunate that the patient chose us.  The patient’s main goal was to improve their mobility to prevent injury to their lower back and hamstrings.

The difference in our approach to the Dulwich Hill patient

Our Dulwich Hill patient had a history of repetitive lower back and hamstring injuries.  Having seen both a physiotherapist who looked at strength exercises and a chiropractor who mainly used spinal adjustments.  The Dulwich Hill patient had not seen a therapeutic centre that combined massage, adjustments, and functional exercises for strength and movement pattern retraining.  The advantage of this treatment is the holistic approach to your movement.  Firstly we improve your movement, which helps heal and prevent injury, and then we rebuild your strength and movement to heal further and prevent injury. Pleasingly our Dulwich Hill chiropractic patient was able to achieve their goal of going from representing New South Wales to Australia.
