Guide to Chiropractic Care
You’ve heard of chiropractic care but do you really know what it is? To keep it simple, this field of care focuses on restoring balance and alignment to the body, which empowers the body to heal naturally and support your daily life. In this guide, Dr. Sheriff and the team at New Hampshire Chiropractic Clinic in Portsmouth, NH, share the types of techniques chiropractors use to meet these goals and some of the many benefits you can receive.
Chiropractic Techniques
Different chiropractors offer different techniques to cater to the needs of their patients. Therefore, not every practice offers the same services. However, the following are some of the most common.
- Adjustments: Adjustments involve the chiropractor using their hands or an instrument to restore proper alignment to the skeletal system, which relieves any undue pressure on the surrounding spinal components.
- Spinal decompression: Decompression therapy is a commonly used technique that provides a thorough stretch of the spinal column. It’s highly beneficial in removing pressure from herniated discs and relieving nerve compression.
- Electrical muscle stimulation: EMS is a technique used to cause contractions in the muscles. These contractions help relieve muscle spasms and tension, as well as improve blood flow to the muscles.
- Therapeutic ultrasound: Ultrasound therapy is used to penetrate the deep layers of soft tissues, relieving tension, breaking up scar tissue, stimulating tissue regeneration, and more.
- Cold laser therapy: Cold laser therapy is another soft tissue technique that helps reduce fascial pain, improve range of motion, decrease inflammation, and more. There are various types of cold laser therapy available. We offer Percussor cold laser.
