It’s pretty easy to find a traditional doctor to prescribe pain medications or surgery for pain but what if you want to take a different, more integrative and holistic approach? If you are suffering from chronic pain, tingling extremities, headaches, joint pain, back and neck pain and so much more, chiropractic care might be the right solution for you. Chiropractic care is an integrative, holistic approach to health care and pain management that successfully treats a wide range of illnesses, injuries, and other health concerns. A Palos Heights chiropractor can help you achieve your daily wellness goals using innovative techniques as well as practiced treatment that have been around since chiropractic care’s inception.

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is believed to have been started by Daniel David Palmer in 1895  when he performed the first spinal adjustment, since then the practice has taken off in terms of popularity and innovative treatment. It is overseen by the Board of Chiropractic Examiners and practitioners must graduate from an accredited school program and pass an exam for licensure. Licensed practitioners utilize a multitude of approaches to treat and manage chronic pain, joint and muscle issues, sports injuries, anxiety, fertility, and much more. 

How Is Chiropractic Care Unique?

If you are looking into beginning chiropractic treatment you may be wondering how it will benefit you versus other forms of healthcare. Two of the biggest things that sets chiropractic care apart from other wellness options is its focus on the body as a whole and its lack of invasive interventions. 

• Total body wellness- While you may go to the doctor for a health concern and they will treat that concern, chiropractic care considers how the issue is affecting your body as a whole and how it may be being influenced by other areas of wellness. By treating the body as a whole unit chiropractic care is able to help patients achieve a higher level of care for their entire body, rather than focusing on one issue or one symptom. 
• Noninvasive- Chiropractic care is also known for being noninvasive. Many other forms of care utilize surgeries and other invasive treatments and while these can be necessary, chiropractic care looks to noninvasive options first. This helps patients avoid issues like surgical complications and lengthy recoveries. Chiropractic care also avoids the use of medications when possible. Medications, like surgeries, often cause unwanted side effects or negatively affect your body in other ways. Some patients are also unable to take medications whether for personal or medical reasons, chiropractic care offers them a path to wellness without medication or surgery.
