Chiropractic for Pain Management

Chiropractic is a type of alternative medicine that focuses on the treatment of back pain, neck pain, and other conditions through adjustments to the spine.

At Makefield Chiropractic Center of Newtown, PA, we know chiropractic therapy can be an effective way to manage pain, especially chronic pain like that experienced by people with conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. Regular sessions with a chiropractor may help reduce inflammation as well as joint and muscle stiffness, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and mobile.

Arthritis

Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints. Many people with arthritis turn to chiropractic therapy to relieve their symptoms, as it is both non-invasive and drug-free. Regular chiropractic sessions may help reduce the amount of pain experienced by those living with arthritis, which can allow them to enjoy an increased quality of life.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is another condition for which many people may seek relief through chiropractic treatment. This chronic disorder can cause widespread pain throughout the body and is often accompanied by fatigue, depression, and sleep disturbances. While there is no cure for fibromyalgia, some studies have found that regular visits to a chiropractor may be able to help manage symptoms like stiffness and tenderness in the muscles, allowing patients to better cope with their condition.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments can also benefit people with other conditions, including migraines and headaches, sports injuries, and pregnancy-related back pain.

Chiropractic adjustments are a type of manual therapy that aims to restore the body's natural balance and alignment by manipulating the spine, joints, and muscles. It is typically used to treat back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

Our chiropractor will use their hands to apply precise pressure or thrusts to specific areas of the spine in order to manipulate joints and release muscle tension. This can help improve mobility as well as reduce pain. It can also help increase blood flow to the targeted area which can help with inflammation and swelling.

Chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive and drug-free, making them an attractive form of therapy for those who may be opposed to using drugs or undergoing surgery. They can also be beneficial in treating sports injuries, reducing stress levels, improving posture, and helping prevent future injuries by restoring joint function.

Our chiropractor may suggest an individualized treatment plan based on a patient's condition as well as lifestyle habits like physical activity level and diet. This plan could include regular chiropractic adjustments along with additional treatments such as massage therapy or stretching exercises for optimal results.
