What does chiropractic entail?
Chiropractic represents an alternative healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mechanical dysfunctions within the spine and nervous system. We focus on the neuromusculoskeletal system translating to; nerve, muscles and joints. Dysfunction in the neuromusculoskeletal system can adversely affect overall health.
What To Expect When Seeing A Chiropractor
Through a thorough medical history taking, observations and physical examination, we pinpoint the underlying causes of discomfort and devise individualised treatment strategies to facilitate recovery and optimize function for you and your whole family, from infant to child.
As specialist of the spine, nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, which collectively constitute approximately 60% of your body, chiropractic stands out as a sought-after healthcare intervention for those seeking to harness the innate healing capabilities of the body, devoid of pharmaceuticals and surgical interventions.
Chiropractic revolves around the interplay between the structure, primarily the spine, and the function regulated by the nervous system, aiming to uphold and restore health. Your spine serves as the central support for your entire body, both literally and metaphorically, implying that compromised spinal health can have far-reaching implications.
We acknowledge the significance and duty of collaborating with other healthcare providers when it serves the patient’s best interests, offering appropriate assistance as necessary. Here at B&B we strive to offer an all-inclusive health and wellness strategy for you and your family as we have cultivated partnerships with leading experts in various fields to assist your journey towards recovery.
Chiropractic Treatments
Chiropractic Adjustments
Also known as spinal manipulation, is a hands-on procedure performed by chiropractors to restore proper alignment and function to the spine and other joints in the body. During an adjustment, the chiropractor applies controlled force to specific areas of the spine or joints that may be misaligned, restricted, or not moving correctly.
The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to correct vertebral subluxations or joint dysfunctions, which can interfere with the nervous system’s ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. By realigning the spine and restoring normal joint motion, chiropractic adjustments help alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote overall health and wellness.
Chiropractors may use various techniques to perform adjustments, including manual manipulation, instrument-assisted manipulation, or gentle, low-force techniques suited to individual patient needs and preferences. Before performing an adjustment, chiropractors typically conduct a thorough examination to assess the patient’s condition and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
Dry Needling
Targeting muscular trigger points and areas of tissue dysfunction. During a dry needling session, fine, sterile needles are inserted directly into these trigger points, which are tight bands or knots within muscles, tendons, or connective tissues. The goal is to elicit a local twitch response, which is a brief and involuntary contraction of the muscle fibers. This response helps to release tension and improve blood flow to the affected area, facilitating the body’s natural healing process.
Dry needling can effectively alleviate muscle tightness, reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote overall tissue healing. It is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions such as chronic pain, sports injuries, muscle strains, and myofascial pain syndrome
Exercise Rehabilitation
A structured and personalized regimen designed to improve strength, flexibility, mobility, and function. Tailored to each individual’s specific needs and goals, these programs typically incorporate a combination of therapeutic exercises, stretches, and functional movements.
The primary objectives of an exercise rehab program are to restore optimal movement patterns, reduce pain, enhance muscular endurance, and promote overall physical well-being. By targeting weak or injured muscles, improving joint stability, and addressing imbalances in the body, these programs help individuals regain strength and functionality while reducing the risk of future injuries.
