by Governor's Park Chiropractic | May 1, 2014 | Chiropractic

It’s no secret that chiropractors are experts at treating back pain and spinal misalignments. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what a chiropractor can do for you. In addition to treating lower back pain, chiropractic care can relieve joint pain and stiffness, reduce headaches and migraines, and even improve sleep. As a holistic, non-invasive approach to treatment, chiropractic care aims to treat the entire body.

Here, we will review what exactly a chiropractor can do and the various types of injuries and ailments they can treat. We also discuss the many benefits of chiropractic care and why you should consider visiting one of these professionals.

Governor’s Park Chiropractic is Denver’s leading full-service chiropractic firm. We proudly offer a wide range of therapeutic services, including chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, acupuncture, massage therapy, and more. With years of experience and a knowledgeable and friendly staff, let us help you begin your journey toward better health.

WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Chiropractic care is a form of therapy used by chiropractors to treat neuromusculoskeletal injuries and pain. At its core, chiropractic care is based on a series of spinal manipulations and adjustments designed to realign the spine to its healthy positioning. Spinal realignment can effectively address a range of musculoskeletal issues, including pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. It can also improve circulation and assist with proper nervous system functioning.

But this is only the beginning of what a chiropractor can do for you and your health. Depending on the practice you visit, they may also specialize in additional types of treatment. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, chiropractors may also offer services in acupuncture, dry needling, physical therapy, massage therapy, or custom orthotics. Developing a personalized treatment plan that addresses each patient’s unique needs and conditions is crucial for adequate care.

Many chiropractors also specialize in treating specific injuries. Some chiropractors have certifications in treating sports-related injuries or helping car accident victims recover faster and more completely from their injuries. To find the right chiropractor for you or to locate the best chiropractor in Denver, it’s important to do your research, and during your first visit, be open and honest about your treatment needs.
