  1. KING CHIROPRACTIC Chiropractors & Chiropractic Treatment: Benefits and Risks

  2. What Is Chiropractic? Chiropractors are experts who provide spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments for proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, healing the body without surgery or medication. They can assist in restoring mobility of joints restricted after tissue injury occurred because of a traumatic event such as:  falling, or repetitive stress (ie: sitting without back support.)  It can be used as pain relieving treatment for pain in muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissues (cartilage, ligaments, and tendons).

  3. What Does Chiropractic for Back Pain Involve? Taking account of medical history, physical examination, and use of lab tests for diagnostic imaging to determine if treatment is appropriate. May involve one or more manual adjustments to manipulate the joints, with a controlled, sudden force to improve the range and quality of motion. Incorporating nutritional counseling and exercise/rehabilitation for restoration of function and prevention of injury especially, back pain relief.

  4. Spinal manipulation and chiropractic care is generally considered as safe, effective treatment for acute low back pain, the type of sudden injury that results from moving furniture or getting tackled. Research has also shown chiropractic to be helpful in treating neck pain and headaches.  In addition, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia may respond to the moderate pressure used with deep tissue massage. Benefits of Chiropractic Care

  5. Risks of Chiropractic Care People who have osteoporosis, spinal cord compression, or inflammatory arthritis, or who take blood-thinning medications should avoid spinal manipulation.  Patients with a history of cancer should first get clearance from an expert medical doctor before getting treatment for spinal manipulation. Treatment must be designed after accurate diagnosis of your back pain.  The chiropractor should be well informed regarding your medical history, including ongoing medical conditions, current medications, traumatic/surgical history, and lifestyle factors.  Although rare, there have been cases under which a herniated or slipped disc, or neck manipulation resulted in spinal cord injury.  On  a safer side, always check with an expert doctor to make sure your condition can be improved from chiropractic or other pain relief alternatives.
