Patients undergoing chiropractic care are commonly aware of spinal manipulation, which involves a doctor’s gentle manipulation of the spine using their hands or a tool. However, chiropractors also offer a wide range of other techniques and treatments, such as:
- Spinal decompression
- Cervical decompression
- Cryotherapy
- Heat therapy
- Acupuncture
- Laser therapy
- Electrical stimulation
- Massage
- Physical therapy
- Stretches and other simple exercises
Your chiropractor will choose the treatment based on the severity of your condition and your preferences. They will work with you to develop a treatment plan that you are comfortable with. Your doctor may recommend a single treatment or combine multiple techniques to alleviate your symptoms.
